Something To Think About

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Politik > Sad Sad

cpsmpc64010608200257photo02photo.jpg

While many of us in America prepare to celebrate Gay Pride this coming weekend and throughout the month of June….

Many of us take such a public act for granted!

However, this past weekend a small group of brave Russian men and women defied a ban in Moscow and held their Gay Pride parade.

They were far outnumbered, however, by those opposing their public display of pride.

Russian Orthodox and far-right opponents hurled eggs at gay activists and, in one instance, were seen punching a gay man to the ground and some elderly ladies were holding an anti-gay vigil on the pavement, dressed in headscarves and holding icons of Orthodox saints.

Sunday's event was timed to mark the May 27th anniversary of a 1993 change in the law that decriminalized homosexuality in Russia.

Don't take your ability to show your pride this weekend for granted.

And, thankfully, in California, we can now celebrate the right to marry!

We are lucky to live in a state that sees all residents equal under the law.

    sad that people only cared about being first. i am convinced that one day people in america will be astonished that gays could not marry — just as they are now when they learn that women at one time couldn't vote.

    ok - i don't want anyone to be hurt, humiliated or made to feel bad in any way BUT i still think gay pride is just silly. heterosexuals do not have to celebrate & have parades & flags b/c of who we like to have sex with! i mean is it really necessary to prance around in public to show us your libido?? also - i do not agree with 'marriage' per se - need another title. it is offensive to people who are married in the traditional sense. sorry - these are my opinions.

    I don't think the issue is not letting a person being gay, but why do homos have to get out on the streets to proclaim their butt pirating and carpet munching life style? You homos don't see straight people having a straight pride parade. Oh, and please don't tell me that everytime there is a festival of some sort, that's a straight parade. That's a regular festival, which you homos also attend. You homos and lesbos just have to stop playing the victim card. Like other gay guy posted here before, the homo pride parade is just an excuse to get high and get fucked.

    I would like to take that flag and shove it up his bloody, feces encrusted ass. Gays are the nastiest people on earth! They do things that even animals won't do and know it's wrong. These people were screwed up in the womb and now they want the world to embrace their vile culture.

    Is this a GAY site or what? Everyday we have to read something about being gay, who's gay who's not gay, gay, gay gay, You won't be happy till the whole wolds gay. I'm getting so sick of this tediously boring site. If you're not telling the whole world the wonders of being gay you're trying to sell us someones crappy music, and if their gay well all the better. Believe it or not not all of us give a shit about the gay cause. Do what you do I don't give a shit but I fucking tired of you agenda

    I don't agree with gay relationships but I respect them all the same. Everyone is entitled to live as they choose to live, and it's a matter of respecting someone else's lifestyle whether we agree with it or not. At the end of the day God will be our judge, not mankind.

    June is STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH! Show your pride of being HETEROSEXUAL!



  33. 33

    It's such an exciting time for this new recognition of equality. I am beyond thrilled that California is taking this HUGE step forward. Obviously, there will always be a backlash, as people feel they need to continue to judge others for who they intrinsically are. Ironic, as many of them are staunchly religious… and, in truth, Jesus was the biggest forward thinking "hippy" of all time. It's a shame people forget about love and tolerance, huh?

    Anyway… it's wonderful to live in a country where our freedom to demonstrate our pride in anything is legally upheld. And, I'm actually thinking there's a good chance my daughter will be born on the actual day that California recognizes gay marriage (June 17th). What a great time to clelebrate, indeed!

    kHk/b…. I'm fucking sick of you too. Why don't you write like a normal person instead of a fucking retarded 12 year old girl who thinks her "individuality" is cool! Your NOT. you're just an irritating FUCKTARD

    Yeah, Well here in Egypt and Syria, you'll be killed by your own father for it .. and no one will blame him at all .. :) not even the police ..

    So, you both Russian and American should be happy:)

    I come here to read about celbrities, not to be force-fed gay-rights stuff all the time. Please dial it down, Perez. I agree with the posters who said heterosexuals don't feel the need to flaunt their sexuality by having parades. if gays want to be respected as normal, acceptable neighbors, then they should behave as such and stop exposing their sexuality.

    Equal, perez…. that means not making fun of other gay people for your own means. You're getting better but make sure you refer to samantha ronson as samantha ronson.

    I am SO sick of the gay agenda being shoved in our faces. Either home school or private school your kids or your 5 year old will come home asking about someones "two daddies" or "two mommies."

    Bless them! All my support to my gay siblings in Moscow!
