He sure does. At other times he stands on street corners with a sign that reads "You Are Awesome".Your friend has a way with words. Great stuff, he really nailed it there.

Sounds good to me. There are many worse things to do with your life than trying to give people a good day.

It never surprises me anymore when a white person feels safe enough to share their transparently racist thoughts and jokes with me just because I'm also white and there's no minorities around.
Haha, womp womp...
Awesome how members on here think we have to take these guys seriously. bUt MuH fReEZe PeAcH! Hurr durr.
Yeah, I have this happening with close relatives, and I live in a country that is mostly white.
No war but class war.

The irony is that the "Straight Pride Parade" is going to be the gayest parade ever.
It is going to be all manly men enjoying the company of other manly men. It's gonna be sooo gay.
I mean, nothing wrong with that, but holy crap the irony of it all.

It is a group of idiots organising a stupide pointless parade
Last time I checked if you get a permit any one can do it
As is proved by all the other stupid pointless parades like the pride one

The reason for Pride demonstrations is to throw the idea that one should be ashamed because of immutable characteristics out.
When it comes to being straight, I don't even know of a slur. if there is one, it hasn't reached my ears. There's no point to any kind of "Straight Pride" rally, because people don't even think of being ashamed of being straight.
As I said, the organizer for this stunt is a Nazi wannabe, he'll get the required response, as seen fit. But don't pretend that this is even a reply to LGBT Pride parades, as many issues as they may have.

Just more reactionarianism. People who miss calling a spade a spade and a homosexual a poofter.
Same as all the other pointless ones.
It is a meaningless walk down the road that changes nothing.
Look at the pride one. It has hardly done anything to stop gay people getting beat up.
The only difference with this one is it seems mostly to wind up the lefty easily triggered and is slightly more pointless than the pride one.
Edit: Should have said prejudiced against as well as beat up

Don't ever say that to my friends who were in the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in 1978.

There is a canyon of worldviews between us. Can you imagine what it might have been like growing up a gay man in the 70s and 80s? To help you a bit, think back to the names you used to call other kids at school like poofter and faggot. Think of the ways in which homosexuals and same sex relationships were portrayed in popular culture. Was it one of normalcy and acceptance? Imagine you are a young man experiencing same sex attraction in this environment. If you can manage this with a better attitude than thinking they need to just deal with it, you are making progress.
It was in this environment that the first gay pride marches occurred. Can you imagine the sentiments that drove these people and the courage it took to participate? If you do, then you have an idea what self absorbed ignorant **** heads the people who think a heterosexual pride march is a good idea are. A lefty wind up indeed.

The Sydney one is an exception as it actually seemed to do something.
The place is probably (arguably) now the most lgbt friendly place around
