Did none of you think before you posted? Are you going to say its 4 against one? So there are 4 complete blanks argueing that isnt.. does that make you right?

The gays do it, cultures do it, everyone else does... why not?

whoa gsus dude lol

i think every1 was just tryin' to say "why do u want to organize a [pride] parade when straight people already have the majority and aren't discriminated against in north america?"...its like the same thing they explain on the news usually...when "groups" ie gays/lesbians organize parades it's to raise awareness of their "kind" bcuz they are the ones being discriminated against and the minority...and its probably a pretty good bet that 90% of north americans who r "straight" would think that making a parade is taking it a bit "too far" since they already have the majority and the advantage here.

whoa that was long and wierd haha

anywayz "toodles" :D

Is that your only comeback? If we don't openly bash homosexuals we are automatically gay? You have the debating skills of a cheerio. At least take a look at a thesaurus so you can offer synonyms to your one and only defense.

I see no hatred in his posts, dunno why everyone is getting so worked up. I mean, if I do a Racing pride parade, does that mean I'm offending sunday drivers? Or, let's turn it around, there's gay pride parades, do they offend me because I'm straight?

Answer is no. Still, I think it's a stupid idea, but I see nothing wrong with it. With all the anti-gay marriage mentality of many Albertans, this might actually take off heh.

Stop invading my thread... I have no negative motives behind this.. it would be fun.. and think of how many hot chicks would show up.

Quasar... you are so against it... yet you accuse ME of hiding something? Keep up the good work blanky. Stop roaching my thread. Nevermind you... evferyone else is so "against" anytthing like that... a mindset perhaps held by the liberals? LOL. Enough! I dont bash gays either! stay on topic!

Toyboy.. no need to raise awareness of straightness, not looking to advance anything, I think it would be a blast and another reason to party.

I'm just having fun with you man, I'll march if you would like but what am I going to wear?

It would be pretty lame seeing a bunch of white guys walking around chanting "hetero pride". No rainbows, no crossdressers, no leather = A no fun parade.

I personally do not agree with the lifestyle choices of gays but I think they get ridiculed (sp?) enough that they dont need organized events to futher the gay bashing.

However I like the idea of a organized event to party with hot chicks. :bigpimp:

Is it racest to have a white pride parade? How about through a Black Community?

How about a personal wealth parade? What if that parade was through East Hastings?

Parades are not inherently hateful but that type of event is likely to draw radicals from both sides of the issue, inflaming an allready dicey situation.

If you have no intention of inflaming the situation why would you want to organize this knowing the probable result?

Should we stop beyond cruises then? How about the ZR Auto exotics cruises? It's the same idea. The problem is, people are WAY too politically correct these days. People get offended over the most stupid shit. Unfortunately, I can't fix ignorant or oversensitive people, so would I join in a white pride parade in a black community (assuming I was white)? Nope. Don't wanna get killed because others can't accept you.

There's radicals everywhere, all boils down to ignorance... everyone's a hater to a degree. Drive a lamborghini to go shopping at Army and Navy. Guaranteed it'll get keyed even though you did absolutely NOTHING wrong.

My examples are extreme but to make a point clearly it is often best to overstate it.

If you want "pilot something rarely thought of" why don't you do something constructive that would not insite hate? :dunno:

I'm sure there are more entertaining recreational activities that you can think of that don't envolve pissing a bunch of people off.

What gives you, or anyone else for that matter, the right to define what entertains him? I do stuff that others wont find entertaining, so am I not supposed to do those activities to please others? We're in Canada. We're allowed to do anything we want as long as it's acceptable in the eyes of the law. We're not in China, where websites get regulated so you only see what the government, representing the majority of the people, want you to see. That's the beauty of our society.

If you don't like what you're seeing, change the channel. People seem to forget they have a right to ignore shit, and they forget that all of us have a right to voice our opinions in the form of speech, forums, or even a friggin' parade.

Celica, How would a gigantic meeting of people under the premise of being straight... insite hatred? If anything I could say otherwise. The is no radical agenda attached to this.. I dont think you get the idea. Are there not free-fucks over in europe where random people bone other random people? those rarely go awry.. other than the odd angry mother whos daughter got pregnant.

how did that comment turn him into a kkk member/racist? Where exactly does it say he bashed homosexuals?

I also don't understand what race has to do with homosexuality. You could be black, white, straight, asian, hispanic etc and still be gay. Comparing racism to homosexuality is crossing the line. The difference between a racist parade & gay/straight parade is, the gay/straight parade welcomes everyone who supports being gay/straight no matter what your race is while a racist parade welcomes only one specific race. LOL, if there was a penis parade, it would be called a sausage party.

Sure it is racist to have a specific race parade, but that's not the kind of parade he suggested! Straight people were welcome to march along with the gay parade for support. Hopefully this parade will allow some gays to march with the straights. The homosexuals threw a parade, knowing it would upset certain people, but they didn't care. Some people view gay pride parade as controversial, but people do it anyway. A "straight" parade is just as controversial, so why not let everyone have fun?

Let's just have a parade celebrating living in Canada, now with MORE freedom as people (gay, straight, black, white, asian, hispanic) and not as classified types of people.

A parade... Well... Ok.... Still confused...

Infact, WAIT, I'm also having a parade, its the Super Hot Single Chicks Parade, so spread the word, in order for them to be allowed to enter the parade, they need to send me 2 pictures of themselves, one wearing some sexy lingerie, and the other has to be nude, or if they can't send a picture, they can come by my house for a physical inspection.:D :D :D

the kkk and catholic church both preach hate against homosexuals. i was comparing his stance and their stance. nothing to do with race at all.

benzo is a homophob so you might want to ask what his thoughts are re: gays attending... my guess is no.

I don't see what's wrong with a straight pride parade.

But, I DO see why someone who isn't straight would. It is a double standard though- the homosexual community gets a parade, but when the heterosexual community wants one suddenly it's "hate mongering".

Explain how a parade declaring straight pride insinuates hate in any other way than a gay pride parade would?

Equal rights, equal opportunity... it all comes down to equality. If the gay/lesbian community is allowed to have a parade, why souldn't the non-gay/lesbian community? Participating in a gay-pride parade, or even supporting it, and then denouncing a straight pride parade is completely hipocritial (sp??).

Gays have parades, because they are proud (hence the name "gay pride") and probably, cuz they enjoy it. Why can't we try to do the same thing? And to anyone who thinks something this harmless is discrimination, you've been brainwashed by someone. I am a straight white catholic guy between 16 and 25. Everyone celebrates the opposite of all those things so much, that it leads me to believe that I'm inferior, since me celebrating being straight, white, catholic, or young, would be ridiculous, so it never happens. Reverse discrimination is 5 times as bad than the discrimination that caused it. And Benzo, if this goes through, 3 words. Sign, me, up.

I don't think that you, or Benzo, really understand the reason that these parades take place in the first place. It's not for gay people to go out in the open and show the world how flaming they are (even though that's basically what happens). The purpose of these is to raise social awareness for groups that are (or feel like) they are being unfairly treated or represseed, or for issues that need more attention from society.

So is AIDS awareness day a good idea? Sure it is. How about having a "Good Thing We're HIV Negative" parade right after an "AIDs Awareness" parade.. well, that's distasteful and petty.

Had Benzo brought thought of this idea just out of the blue, it might have some form of credibility. But, he brought it up because of all the gay marriage threads that are around, which obvoiusly bug him. That so many of you think it's funny to support the idea of a "Straight Pride Parade" simply to be in spite of the "Gay Pride Parades" is, in a word, petty.

Am I straight? - Yes
Am I proud of it? - Yes
Do I need a parade to show that? - No

I am comfortable in my own sexuality enough that I don't need to walk around and shout it at the top of my lungs. I have many friends who are gay, and it doesn't bother me. I don't see the need to have a parade unless you feel the need to re-affirm just who you are?:dunno:

Ummmmm, no. Like I said, I have many friends who are gay. I don't care what their orientation is. What I'm asking is whether Benzo needs to re-affirm who he is.

When I see the homosexual community have a parade, I see it as them showing the world that they are who they are, and aren't gonna change. We as society need to see that they are a larger part of society than some want to admit. Personally, "how you swing" doesn't matter to me as much as "how true to your word you are." I think that the courage that those who participate in these parades shows just how comfortable they are. There are many parts of society who want to harm those who are "different" from them. Who's to say what's normal? I know I'm not! I live by the creedo that "It takes all kinds of people to make up the world." Let's just leave it at that.

Then, "I don't care what their orientation is. What I'm asking is whether Benzo needs to re-affirm who he is." (by having a straight pride parade.)

I will ask you to make note of the fact that I merely pushed the envelope, not once did I say I hated, wanted to kill or wanted to injure homosexuals. I'm not a homophobe either, so stop resorting to pathetic methods of turning out a shitty arguement.

Melinda, Im going to assume you have a few gay friends, and you feel you are being loyal speaking on their behalf.. but you are out to lunch in terms of accuracy.

Further to that, I have the right to be rude and beligerent.. you make it sounds like I should be censored from speaking my mind when free to do so.. are you trying to repress me as a straight white male? :rofl:

I think some people on here are argueing and debating out of lipservice so they can say they have stood up for percieved anti-gay.. when in fact there is nothing Anti-Gay about this or my other posts.

I agree that people are way too sensitive nowadays, but I still wouldn't be caught dead with Straight or Gay Pride supporters celebrating who or what they choose to fuck. It's not the worlds business, stop trying to make it.

This thread reeks of reverse discrimination.

I don't agree with continuing the homosexual parade either. :dunno: Maybe like 20 years ago when there was less awareness about homosexuality as a lifestyle. Nowadays if you haven't heard about it you've either been living under ground or you're a member of the Goaler family. I think the parade is just an excuse to rub homosexuality in the faces of the people who oppose it. A "straight pride" parade would do the exact same thing.

In this country, with its liberal-beyond-any-sense government, straight, white, English-speaking people actually are repressed and unfairly treated, especially if they live west of Ontario. at least I feel that way. Change this to Straight White Western Pride Parade and you'd get some people.

His intentions was to bring out the fact that there's a double standard, and that people get offended over stupid shit, much like how I bring up awareness of issues using the smoking or religion thread. I seriously doubt he's going to do a straight pride parade for real.

Of course, I could be wrong.

The funny thing is that a lot of people could care less about gay people, but when they turn on the tv to see a bunch of homosexuals parading down the street flaunting it, it pisses them off. Rather than "raising awareness", they're actually creating more reason for hatred. Same thing with french canadians, if they didn't whine so much and demand special treatment, noone would dislike them as much.

It's a horrible cycle.

Right on Rage2 good comment...

Everyone it seems spends soooooo much time these days thinking about what's morally right and wrong, how to say things in a politically correct manner, getting offended and suing for racial/sexual discrimination or whatever the band wagon flavour of the month happens to be.

YOU live in a free country, free to say what YOU believe in and what YOU believe is right in the eyes of YOUR god or YOUR own morality. What can't everyone just worry about #1 and stop watching what everyone else is doing?

LOL Discriminators complaining about being discriminated against. Classic.

Let me rephrase my first post:

If people were less ignorant/more tolerant there would be no need for Gay Pride week/parade in the first place.

I never said I was a discriminator, just pointing out the flaw in your comment. By calling people ignorant for their views you are the discriminator.. Its really is a endless loop...you are arguing in circular logic... have fun!

Hey, why not start a straight movement before its eliminated altogether? The idea behind it is purely out of fun. Mockery to the homosexuals? I could give a shit if they take it that way although some people need to see for themselves how rediculous they are acting.

man give me a break, you make it sound like us straight guys are a minority,

I understand your concerns, and do not mock them, however I think your idea, is nothing but an "idea" I dont think you will attract anyone but you local racists, narrow minded "southern us" track of thinking

Unless I'm grossly incorrect, that comprises most of Alberta (of course, being said in a negative way) local racists? We're not racists, we're just people who happen to have been raised to believe this is wrong.

because blacks and gays are in the minority.

the phrase 'white pride' is assosciated with white supremacists.

if you said "I'm proud of who I am" no one is going to care.

I think the parade is just an excuse to rub homosexuality in the faces of the people who oppose it. A "straight pride" parade would do the exact same thing.

Hmm lets see how I can put this.. If homosexuals opposed Hetros for being Strait we have a big problem. Nowhere does it say Hetrosexuality is wrong. Now on the other side of course there are many sources that say Homosexuality is wrong. If homosexuals start opposing Hetros they have lost their mind completely. Next time you see a homosexual, ask him and his "partner" to have a baby. There is a huge reason Women have a Vagina and a birth Canal and Men have a Purple headed Yogurt Slinger :D . SO if this made any sense if Homos truly oppose Straits for any reason, even Hating Humanity has shit the bed. Procreation is universal between a Man and a Women and even Homsexuals know this. So fuck it I say lets have a "We can procreate" parade to spite them! :thumbsup:

this argument is AMPED!

i think the real question here is, if anyone started a straight parade, would anyone show up? what would they do?
finding out the answers would lead to opportunity to ask the proper questions, not theoretical ones.

takes a straight parade to know one ;)
(yes, i'm giving benzo the go ahead to start one...just wanna see what happens)

hmmnnn i wonder what the straight flag would look like.
the leader of the march would have to carry it (benzoooo) and I think a large black square with no colour on it at all would be ideal. lol

:werd: I'm in for the parade Benzo, when should we do it? Is there a proud to be gay day yet?? :rofl: That would be perfect! We'll just walk down the opposite side of the street going the opposite direction :D Stampede would be the perfect time, we'd get the global audience :D Maybe even start a trend :poosie: I hope being gay goes out of style soon....

Couldn't have described it better....so let's do this parade and get that over with. Anybody ever watch CTV? Not only strongly opposed, but anyone who's even SLIGHTLY opposed to homosexual marriage is immediately badged as an extremist. They're pretty blatant about it too.

seriously though, gays are still people, but as far as im concerned, God put aids here as a "cure" for homo sexuality and
rampid promiscuety!!!!!

When was the last time Black people from Africa came over to America, kidnapped caucasian's and forced the men to work for nothing while raping their women?

When was the last time a straight redneck left his hillbilly bar, was accosted by a group of 4 gay men, who beat him with bats and then chained him to the back of their pickup and dragged him through town?

Without African Americans we wouldn't have professional sports, and without gay men we wouldn't have any well dressed males.

You guys need to get over yourselves. And this is coming from a Redneck in the heart of redneck country. Do I think gays need a parade no, but obviously they are insecure if they need to have one. I have a few friends that are gay and they would never march in one of those parades. Parades are meant to celebrate an event, such as the Stampede, not to make you feel better about yourself.

You DARE call yourself a redneck? Seriously though, being loud about something doesnt necessarily reflect insecurity, when you remove your head from your asshole, you might realize that. Im proud to be straight.. Im proud to enjoy the beauty of a woman rather than a man.. what is so insecure about that?

First of all, being gay is not a "style" or a fad. It's a lifestyle choice. Don't we all want to be with people we are attracted to? Of course. If a man is not attracted to women, why should he be forced to be with one? Because society and religion have said they have to? And you bitch about people being too politcally correct and stuff? Please. Shut your cake holes. You don't like it, suck it up. Such is life. Whining isn't gonna get you anywhere and it proves your ignorance.

On a second note.... gay parades are useless, so hey, go for your straight parade if it's all in good fun!
