All tag results for 'gay pride'

Ugh! We are not happy to hear about this.

While sports organizations like the NBA and MLB are working to end homophobia, others like the NHL seem to be tolerating it. Unfortunately, the UFC (Utlimate Fighting Championship) seems to be flat out endorsing anti-gay bigotry!

In recent incidents, not only have the athletes used gay slurs to taunt their opponents, but even the PRESIDENT of the organization, Dana White, is leading by poor example!

During an expletive-filled rant on YouTube, Mr. White not only called a female sports journalist a "dumb b*tch", but dropped this homophobic line:

This is amazing!

Ugh! So unfortunate!

A gay pride parade has once again been denied in Moscow, Russia.

Organizers thought they would be granted a permit for the parade after homophobic mayor Yuri Luzhkov was fired in September, but sadly the new mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, has followed in his predecessor's footsteps.

Gay activists received a letter from city officials this past Tuesday, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, denying a permit in fear the event will spark "civil unrest"

Activist Nikolai Alekseyev commented on the letter, saying:

"I don't think it was premeditated, it's simply a coincidence, but this coincidence is nonetheless symbolic. As events are held around the world — including at an official level — to mark the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, Russia pursues its caveman, primitive policy of bans."

Primitive is an understatement! How about oppressive?

However, equality can not be beaten with a permit though and Nikolai says he still plans on holding a pride event. Good luck over there! Hope it's a blast!

Kelly and Sharon Osbourne made quite a scene at the West Hollywood Gay Pride Parade on Sunday when they came face to face with some anti-gay protestors.

The two women, who were the parade's Grand Marshalls fought back when an anti-gay group came up to them and started yelling.

Instead of stepping back and ignoring them, Sharon got back in their faces yelling, "You should be ashamed of yourselves!"

Then Kelly got on the mic and yelled to the crowd, "My God loves Gays!" and led the crowd into a chant of "God loves Gays!"

The cheers and chants got so loud, the crowd drowned out the sounds of the protestors.

Amazing! Way to go, ladies!
