One, here in Chicago there is the gay pride parade.... I am disgusted by these parades and shocked that policitians support them.... All the while Mayor Daley gives his hip-hip-horray for gay pride.
When looking at Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois politics, and clout, it's easy to see that Mayor Dick, Governor Rod, and the rest of the pols are screwing every man and woman in Chicago. Consequently, it's only logical that they would support a gay pride parade.
...Not because they are gay pride parades but rather the whole sexuality displayed in public - during the day - for all to see. Here is a parade that features men in black leather, bare-ass showing and basically dry humping each other while on floats. And people wonder why this is issue pushes people buttons?
Actually, I grew up on a farm. I saw the young bulls, stears, and occasionally a heifer dry humping in public, during the day. These cattle, too, were bare-assed, and in black leather (some white, some red leather). I was exposed to it at a young age, so were my siblings, including sisters. Sometimes we giggled, most of the time we ignored it and got on with our chores. True, the cattle weren't doing it on floats in downtown Chicago, but if they were, I wouldn't bother going to watch them getting busy... even if Mayor Daley was there cheering on the dry humping cattle.
You don't have to be a fundy-Bible thumber to say "hey, i don't want my kids exposed to that."
There are lot's of places in Chicago, private and public, that I wouldn't take my kids... if I had any.
