Thank you to all the beautiful people (you know who you are!) who answered my previous post! I appreciate all of the comments and thank you so much for the linkbacks! *besos*
I agree with the general sentiment that it was a PUBLIC event and being AT one puts you at the risk of either getting photographed or videotaped. If you don’t want to be SEEN there, then stay in your shell and lock yourself up.
We all know what that man and woman were thinking: “well we want to be at the pride parade because it’s our right to be wherever we want to be, to watch whatever we want to watch but that doesn’t give others the right to invade our privacy.”
Yeah, we know what they’re thinking because we’re not as small minded as they are — fortunately!
Which brings me to an interesting thought: a gay pride event is always something that draws attention and interest not only from the public but from the tri-media as well, right? If that man and woman knew that they were being videotaped by a “legitimate” member of the media (read: CNN or the local television network, let’s say) do you think they’d act the same way? Do you think they’d even have the temerity to approach that television crew and ask that the footage be erased? Do you think that man will have the audacity to threaten the cameraman that he’ll break the expensive camera into a thousand pieces? I THINK NOT! They’d probably just stand there, shocked and embarrassed, go home, blame themselves over and over again for being too superficial and charge the whole thing to experience.
Yeah, we know what they’ll do because we’re not as small minded as they are!
All this shallow thinking reminds me of Pass The Salt Ministries’ Coach Dave Daubenmire’s recent stupid remarks:
The homosexual leadership, those who work iniquity, has done a great public relations job. They have convinced us that Tommy and Billy who live down the street are the real face of homosexuality. Sadly, as those who walked into the den of iniquity with us on Saturday can attest, the under-belly of sodomy is a despicable thing to see. A friend once told me that I should never go to a meat packing shop and watch hot-dogs being made. If I did, he warned me, I would never eat another hot-dog as long as I lived.
The same can be said for the sodomite parade. The “meat” on display will forever change the way you view homosexuality. Sin has no boundaries, no clutch, and no emergency brake. Once you dip your toe into the pool of sin, especially sexual sin, there is a magnetism that will not let go. The debauchery parading down our public streets is abominable.
He made these remarks after he watched the Columbus, Ohio Gay Pride Parade this year.
Wow, I wonder if he thought threatening those who “walked into the den of iniquity” were abominable too?
