National Straight Pride Coalition refused permit to march

Why, because you said so, as that is all you responded with.

Because it deviates from the norm. Homosexuals make up about 1% of the population. Would you say that engaging in sexual activity that only 1% of the population engages in would deviate from the norm???

I know liberals want to make being a ****ing weirdo acceptable, but that does not mean it is normal. Homosexual sex is deviant sex.

And that is the 800lb gorilla in the room.
The left has a big problem with not acknowledging the bigotry within thier party. It drives a wedge and prevents people from both sides from coming together to denounce all forms of bigotry.

I'm not proud about being straight; I've never even thought of my orientation, really.

Why would you want to have Straight Pride march?

Making a point is my guess.

Only because we live in a culture where a lot of people believe they have a close personal relationship with a magical invisible friend, for essentially the same reasons children believe in Santa Claus.

And IMO, behaving a certain way because you think Santa Claus, or some other invisible magical being, wants you to behave that way is ridiculous in the extreme.

How is promiscuity the same as deviancy or homosexuality? They are not related and more than heterosexuality is related to deviancy or promiscuity.

Promiscuity is the practice of having sex frequently with different partners or being indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners.

Deviancy is the condition of being abnormal: aberrance, aberrancy, aberration, abnormality, anomaly, deviance, deviation, irregularity, preternaturalness, unnaturalness.

Homosexuality is the quality or characteristic of being sexually attracted solely to people of one's own sex.

You don't understand the difference between statistical norms and deviance.

Blue eyes, genius IQ, being over 6' tall and being a lefty also deviate from the norma so are they also deviants?

Homosexual sex is perfectly normal for +/- 5% of the population when you factor in LGBT people. Bi people are partially gay. Trans people can be hetero, bi, gay, or even celibate. 0.3% of the population is transgendered and that number is stable. You just hear more about them and they are more open and seeking medical care than they did in the past.

Who among the left hates people because of their sexual orientation?

What bigotry does the left ignore? Should we also tolerate Neo-nazis, pedophiles and Klan members?

You mean the way Hillary tolerated Robert Byrd?

Hillary was a Republican until the 1970s.
In high school, Hillary Rodham — who grew up in Illinois and was influenced by her die-hard Republican father and high school history teacher — considered herself a Republican and even became a Goldwater Girl. She wrote about it in her book Living History:

Hillary Clinton in a photo of student council leaders from her high school yearbook.
Maine Township High School

"I was also an active Young Republican and, later a Goldwater girl right down to my cowgirl outfit and straw cowboy hat emblazoned with the slogan 'AuH2O.'

"My ninth-grade history teacher, Paul Carlson, was, and still is, a dedicated educator and a very conservative Republican. Mr. Carlson encouraged me to read Senator Barry Goldwater's recently published book, The Conscience of a Conservative. That inspired me to write my term paper on the American conservative movement, which I dedicated 'To my parents, who have always taught me to be an individual.' I liked Senator Goldwater because he was a rugged individualist who swam against the political tide."

She also writes about volunteering to check voter registration lists against addresses to find voter fraud. And during her first year of college, she was even elected president of the Wellesley Young Republicans Club. According to Carl Bernstein's book A Woman In Charge, by the fall of 1966, she identified herself as a Rockefeller Republican. By the spring of 1968, though, she was volunteering for Democrat Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaign.

Robert Bryd denounced his Klan membership before the 1950s.
In his book, Byrd says he worked as a recruiter, or "Kleagle," for the Klan until early 1943 and then left the state for a welding job in Baltimore. He returned to West Virginia after World War II ended and sent a letter in 1945 to Theodore Bilbo, a Democratic senator and segregationist from Mississippi, complaining about efforts to integrate the military.

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels," he wrote.

He was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates the following year and again in 1948. In 1950, he was elected to the state Senate and in 1952, he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives. It was then that political opponents revealed his former ties to the KKK, according to a 2005 article in the Washington Post titled "A Senator’s Shame." Byrd acknowledged he belonged to the Klan from "mid-1942 to early 1943" and said he joined "because it offered excitement and because it was strongly opposed to communism."

"Deviation from Statistical Norms" -- Put simply, if few people in a given population behave like you then you’re abnormal!"

But... wait just a minute....

If out of a sample of 100 1st graders, we find that 85 students like peanut butter and 15 don't.
This would mean that 15% of this sample deviated from the norm of students who like peanut butter sandwiches.
Thus not-eating PB would be considered abnormal behavior by those 15 little 1st grade deviants

Stop trying to use math to justify bigotry.

You should behave in a way that improves your life. Homosexual activity will not improve your life, if anything it will ruin your life and your health.

Having feces involved in your sex life doesnt seem healthy to me.

All relationships are supposed to be the same yet you say "partner" and have to specify its a "gay relationship". Even gays deep down know its abnormal.

I pointed those out to you for a reason. You know nothing about gays or same-sex partnerships, you are not gay and you are not married to another man. I can speak from experience in both, you only speak from ignorance. You come at gays consistently in your posts, but as
it says in Taylor's song, "shade never made anybody less gay"....you really do need to calm down.

I dont hate gays but it is deviant/abnormal behavior that I do not believe should be shoved down our throats in the media.


What was so wrong with back in the day when everyone minded their own business? It used to be the case that gay dudes would stay in the closet until they moved away to some city and then lived their gay little life without bothering anyone. Now its gay this gay that, every tv show has a gay character, dildo pride parades, pride month where every company has a rainbow logo. You dont see straight people pushing their sexuality on anyone.

I think gays are pissed that they have become normalized and arent interesting anymore. I think they enjoyed being abnormal. I could respect that. I dont respect modern gays.

Gays aren't shoving anything down your throat. They are just now being represented appropriately out in the real world just like everybody else. If it seems to you like it is just everywhere, it isn't, you are just longing for the days when we were still way back in the closet, pretending to be something we weren't, invisible. We have no desire to force anybody to believe as we do, we just want to live our lives like everybody else, if our very presence now in society is a big problem for you, that is now your problem to deal with.

From your source...

"At a time when the Trump administration is trying to render the LGBT people invisible, representing LGBT people in all of our diversity in scripted TV programs is an essential counterbalance that gives LGBT people stories to relate to and moves the broader public to support LGBT people and families."

A counterbalance to the Trump administration's attempts to push us back down to appease his homophobic base.

Must suck that no one cares about "your kind" anymore. Imagine having your entire identity based upon your sexual orientation. That would suck LOL.

Being a normal/straight person, my identity is forged entirely upon my accomplishments. Its healthy, unlike homosexuality.

Except it is not "your kind", gays are no different than straight people. And we care about them as much as anybody else, and even more than whiny gay-haters. Except their identity was not based on their sexual orientation, their identity is just like that of everybody else, it is the gay haters who have put them into a box, it is not by choice of the LGBT community. They see themselves as normal people, it is the gay hate mob who sees them as "different".

And gay people are just as "healthy" as straights and maybe even more healthy than some people who hate gays.
