Controversy in Napa after Catholic Entrepreneur Named Parade Grand Marshal
Catholic Culture ^ | 6/20/14

Homosexual activists in Napa, a city of 75,000 in north-central California, are pressuring the local Rotary Club to rescind the appointment of a Catholic entrepreneur as grand marshal in the 4th of July parade.

Tim Busch reportedly donated $10,000 to support Proposition 8, the 2008 California ballot initiative that defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

“We choose people who are the backbone of Napa,” parade organizer Doris Gentry told the Napa Valley Register.

Homosexual activists...they remind me of three-year-olds having a temper tantrum because it’s time to go to bed.

Liberals: “Catholics need not apply”.

Unless of course you’re a homo-symp Catholic and want to change the teaching.

And homos still want to run it, evidently.

No surprise though.

My goodness! How can they install a CATHOLIC as Grand Marshall in a parade about FREEDOM AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, AND EQUALITY! Forget that the 1st Amendment guarantees him the RIGHT to practice his religion, even outside his church on a non-Sunday.

It’s past time to throw political correctness into the trash where it belongs.

I have the good fortune of knowing Tim Busch. He's a very nice, generous, Catholic man who has nothing but good intentions in his interests. Maligning a guy like this is wrong.

and he and I share the same birthday.

Why can’t the Gaystapo just shut up for once in their puny little lives.
