Proof. Where? What school? Which parade? Details.

Was there a note sent home (yes)? Did the children have to have a signed permission slip to go (yes)? If the child came with a permission slip signed by his/her guardians, can we assume said guardians gave permission for the child to go (yes)?

You might want to sit down for this, Grace.

I work at an elementary school. With small children. (and no, I don't dress in women's clothing or act in any manner at all distinguishable from decent, straight folk). You need a parent or guardian's signature to walk them across the street!

But, no. You have to condemn an entire group of people and teach your children that we are "sick perverts" and by doing so, imply that we aren't quite human. By dehumanizing us and making it possible to completely ignore our feelings and opinions, you have dehumanized yourself. Humans stick together.

Im not talking just about my children, but ALL children. Now Ive already clearly stated that my problem about this doesnt envolve the entire gay community, but JUST those involved in the parades, so as soon as you can understand that, the better off we will both be. One more time, for the record,I AM NOT condeming the entire gay community

Answer the questions.

Who here has claimed to be a part of any parades?

And what exactly is it that I am supposed to be condemning?
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

I also worked for many years in the public school system.

All gay pride parades take place on the weekend. It's INCREDIBLY rare (except for out-of-town sporting events) for there to be field trips on the weekends.

Then worry about YOUR children. Leave MY children to ME, and everyone else's children alone. For Christ's sake, where is the personal responsibility for raising your own children? Why do we need YOU to do it for us? Who the hell do you think you are to presume you know what's best for MY children and my neighbor's children and my community's children?

Oh, so by Grace's standards you're a "sick pervert". For shame!

Pride Parades in most cities take place on one day out of the year. For God's sake do us all a favor and STAY HOME that day. Don't turn on the TV. Don't pick up a newspaper the next day. One friggin' day a year.

Where is the outcry for banning Mardis Gras? What about Girls Gone Wild? Why do I have to see that shit on TV between midnight and six am? Why is that perfectly acceptable 365 days a year, but on one day guys can dress like chicks and the whole world is going to come crashing down around us?

There are far better things to be panicked about.
