OUTRAGE: Gay Group Denied Entry Into Charlotte Pride Parade
Now that I'm got Tom to click on the thread..
The group's name is "Gays for Trump" and was denied because they support the President.
Quote:"For a group of people to claim to want tolerance, acceptance, and give it to every single person you can imagine to give it to, for them to sit back and judge me for exercising my right as an American to choose my leader without judgment is hypocritical," Talbert said.
A spokesperson for the organization said in written statement, "Charlotte Pride reserves the right to decline participation at our events to groups or organizations which do not reflect the mission, vision and values of our organization, as is acknowledged in our parade rules and regulations by all groups at the time of their parade application. In the past, we have made similar decisions to decline participation from other organizations espousing anti-LGBTQ religious or public policy stances.
Talbert said he plans to file a lawsuit against Charlotte Pride for discrimination.

RE: OUTRAGE: Gay Group Denied Entry Into Charlotte Pride Parade
You know, a big issue in the community is that there is an unwillingness of certain subcultures to unify under a common banner. If you refuse to defend the rights of others that are different than you, then who is going to be there to defend you?
This runs counter to what pride is supposed to be about.

So "PRIDE" is a political movement and not a social one? In other words, gays that vote against the majority of "PRIDE" members aren't welcome?
Unions would have a much harder time functioning if they excluded their Republican voting members.
This seems to be about conformity. "Open-mindedness" seems to have its limits.

Just like the woman's march wasn't actually about women, it was about women who support socialism, abortion, islam, and climate change.

Tom's holed up in Mississippi somewhere, and is employing a full social media blackout. So he won't see this until he gets back from his imaginary trip to Poland.

They are all about acceptance. But it's you accepting their beliefs without question. If you can't do that you must be destroyed.

Things like this set the LGBT movement in reverse.
My fellow progressives can't stop shooting themselves in the fricking face.

RE: OUTRAGE: Gay Group Denied Entry Into Charlotte Pride Parade
So there are levels of membership within the 3% club? Since these individuals "are born that way" why all the internal Bigotry??
I thought Hood-Rich nailed it yesterday ,... but this is the Gayest Thread Ever!
Tom is somewhere in Mississippi having convulsions in a garden tub saying, "Calgon,.. Take Me Away!"
