Chicago Gay Pride Parade

HAHA, thats good, Yeah!! stop the Homophobics!!! They shall DIE

JESUS was not a sex radical. thats blasphemous. but why am i intrigued by the 'L' females over the gay guys. it bugs me when i see two guys kissing but to see females kissing seems ok. i feel a sence of loss when i see lovely girls only interested in other females when the male population is losing out on their beauty. i worked at the wtc for 18 years and had dinner at the old market diner on west street. i would meet and talk with a lot of people over the jazz music being played on the docks and i found them to be very intelligent and it did'nt bother me that they were gay. i dont like the flamboyent gay guys dressed in rags parading around the streets and talking dirty.

i'm not sure about the jesus thing, but homophobics are discriminating

GGP: 18th Jan 2006 - 23:03 GMT

gee, I LOVE the flambouyant gay guys dressed in rags parading around the streets and talking dirty!

I guess the answer to your question, jack, lies in the question of whether flambouyantly straight people dressed in rags parading around the streets and talking dirty evoke the same negative reaction. if two guys kissing bothers you and if all you can think of when you see two women kiss is how the men are losing out, you are taking a rather hetero-centric view; maybe not quite phobic--only you know in your heart just how phobic it is.

"Jesus was a SEX RADICAL". Jeez, you can say anything about anybody when they are dead... The rainbow was co-opted as a political symbol, now Jesus. Did anybody else read that book about about Ghandi being a cross-dresser? Gotta love marches, flamboyant uniformed, chanting crowds ... makes me nostalgic for Neuremburg. Soon they will put all the straight people in the camps...

argent2347: 28th Jan 2006 - 16:40 GMT

I love the way somebody made "hetero-centric" sound like a bad thing. The gay people do realize that NOBODY WOULD BE HERE if there weren't FAMILIES. Watch out, everybody, the Brave New World is just around the corner ...

you actualy have a daughter...dear lord

requiem: 9th Feb 2006 - 18:11 GMT

in the background there is actualy a sign that states ''stop heterosexualism''?if that happened mankind would die.how do you homosexuals think you were born anyway?if it wasn't for straight people you would never even have the chance to celebrate your homosexuality.but your right,your parents should have been gay too...

ian: 9th Feb 2006 - 19:42 GMT

Personally, I think we should be reproducing artificially, in bio-reactors. Parenthood should require a rigorous licensing examination, something CPA or bar exam level difficulty. But that's just me.

requiem : 9th Feb 2006 - 21:43 GMT

i got nothing against gays,i just don't get the whole ''stop heterosexualism''contradicting the whole ''stop homophobia''.so know it is you discriminating straight people?!

alexis : 9th Feb 2006 - 22:00 GMT

homophobia theese days are more then over,unless your living in alabama,here in toronto you have a gay comunity,free gay magazines everywere,you get jobs were ever,you have your parade,it seems to me all the gay comunity wants is atention,and the slightest remark you make and imediatly your homophobic,GIVE ME A BRAKE.it is as if theese people are beeing punched out in the street.worse is racial discrimination. people from diferente cultures or backgrounds are more discriminated then homosexuals and they don't go around with,black day or hispanic day or asian day,etc...it is just about beeing fair,what do people care about you beeing gay?does it affect there life who your atracted to,but many times over your race people do.

Mandi: 26th Feb 2006 - 22:11 GMT

I live in a little hick town with a handful of openly homosexual people in the entire population and I will say that discrimination against LGBT isnt even near over and done with. Its amazing what some of them have to put up with. I think that if you find love.. thats pretty much all that matters. People should stop looking at it as a I'm straight, I'm gay, I'm lesbian, I'm Bi-sexual.. instead it should just be. .. I'm in love. Express that, because thats what matters.

freedom of religion
All men are created equal
What does the divorce rate show, concerning the sanctity of marriage
The Jews were persecuted
The blacks were persecuted,
Now it is politically incorrect to say are do anything cruel towards them , NOT TO MENTION ILLEGAL!
Gay people are the only ones left to persecute.
Persecuting gay people helps people with low self esteem feel better about themselves.
Why can't we mind are own business, live and let live, let God do the judging, And KEEP OUR RELIGIOUS VIEWS TO OURSELF.

Peter: 8th Mar 2006 - 16:41 GMT

yeah, persecution sucks. and it turns into a immensley hard-to-swallow bite when it includes race, gender, age, preference and religion all at once.

Scott: 19th Jun 2006 - 23:39 GMT

Yes, jesus was a sex radical, if you belive in him, he preached that it was ok to enjoy sex. It was stated in the context of the marriage bed. It was belived at that time that sex was only allowed to have children and it was a sin to have it for enjoyment. Gay people will not go to hell for being gay! It is a shame that any gay person would still belive that. God or Jesus never said anything about homosexuality! The men who wrote the bible put in thier own opinions because they continued to preach what they were taught by the religion they believed. The few scripturs in the bible refered to a tim when the jews were in captivity and felt for a rabbi to be pure that he could not engage in homosexual acts, it reffered to being pure to serve God. The also were not to engage in sex with women, it was a distraction from serving God. It is a shame that religion has twisted the scriptures to spread hate and biggotry. Much of what Christianity teaches is based on lies and is designed to gain money control and power. The vast majority of religous organizations know nothing about God and only the ones that teach true love and tolerance are approaching God's truth.

Xindy the Lesbian: 20th Jun 2006 - 17:59 GMT

Let me just point out that that sign does NOT say "STOP HeteroSEXUALISM" but rather "STOP HeteroSEXISM". There is a huge difference here. One means stop being straight and the other simply means stop thinking heteros are superior to homos. Next time, try making sure you are reading something correctly before you accuse people of contributing to the hate they are trying to stop. I'll be attending the parade in Chi-town this year and I'm really excited. It's one place I feel I don't have to hide who I really am around people for fear of being frowned upon. I'd also like to say that my being gay does not mean men are missing out on my feminine beauty. They can admire my beauty without having intercourse with me. It's just, like men, I find the female body much more attractive. Can you blame me?

Brenna: 24th Jun 2006 - 13:40 GMT

Hey Everyone, I just want to say that I love everything you guys and girls stand for! Just be true to yourself and live everyday with no regrets!

yeah i said it: 3rd Jul 2006 - 04:51 GMT

Is it me or do the most unintelligent people always have something negative to say? I guess stupid people have a hard time keeping their mouths closed. Poor stupid people! :-(
