It was the very end of the parade where the participants were really letting it out. The display I witnesed with my two young children was disgusting (regardless of hetero or homo) and had to have broken dozens of decency laws. Like James, I support basic gay rights but when such displays occur as I witnessed it hurts their whole movement. "

The city of SF has no morals, no ethics, no law enforcement, and no spine. I have only gone back to SF for the airport and basically avoid that city completely.

Wait a minute Alejandro you’re telling Mag to be quiet because people in this country have 1st amendment rights so Mr. Kleinhammer should be able to say whatever he wants and Mag should just be quiet about that since people have 1st amendment rights.

That has to be the most backwards thinking but the scary thing is this guy probably seriously feels that is true. in any case I had to forward that comment he made to some buddies of mine, no one believed me that people actually think like that out here and people wonder why its called Mayberry!, I would think if Disneyland offers a gay and lesbian day then how bad can they be-Alejandro you should call Homeland on Disneyland they are threatening our National Security big boy!

However, I do not support their right to violate obscenity laws and do whatever lewd things they want to do in front of children. I do not need to leave a public area because they are violating our public indecency laws and they are not above the law last time I checked. If local parades or Disney parades are not obscene then I support them. If the parades are typical of the SF area then the people in the parades should simply be arrested for public displays of nudity, and lewd contact in public and in front of innocent minors, which I have witnessed AND could not get away from since they don't respect traffic laws either. If you all want to be treated like adults then try acting like adults. "

Gay may revert back to its original meaning come November 2008. They have already converted my vote back to yes from a confirmed no, with all their arrogance and I am sure I am not alone.

It is unfortunate to see that people us this forum to attack other writers and to post such disrespectful comments as "GAY=Got aids yet.". Very tasteful and mature. Especially since more hetero sexuals around the world have AIDS than do Gays and lesbians.
I will also say that I do agree about the gay pride parades. The parades are fine and a great way to gather and show support for your peers and gay community. However, there can be some pretty tasteless behavior that goes on in these parades. I would say to be proud is not to be sexually insulting, but mature and respectful. There must be a more appropriate way to conduct a parade than to have certain members march around in bondage and using whips and making a point out of showing as much skin as possible. "

" According to oral tradition, Jewish Rabbis say the cause of the Flood of Noah was homosexual marriages. That was known by early cultures after the Flood and even Sodom and Gomorrah and Ancient Greece and Rome did not allow homosexual marriages. Not until this generation have the laws been changed to allow that. So expect horrific cataclysmic judgments and wars as God lifts His restraining hand from the even greater evils that is lurking to consume the world. Look up Matthias Stormberger's Prophecies on a search engine. He accurately predicted WWI and WWII, even the very date WWI would begin. He said WWIII would begin by 2010 and more people would die in ONE DAY than in all previous wars. He said many nations would cease to exist. The only way to delay such events since they cannot be averted is for the people to repent of sins and reverse such things as homosexual marriages that are an offense to the Lord because there is no power or authority except of God and the powers that be are ordained of God.

There is no geological or fossil record evidence to support the myth. In that time of the world most people lived and died within 20 miles of their home. If there was a flood that spanned say a 100 mile or so area you might think the entire world was under water when in fact it is not. "

There will always be those who jump in to attack the culture and traditions of Jews, so it's not surprising that the questioning now begins. Like the silly ‘prove it' challenge concerning Noah and the Flood.
Those who want to know can just google it and get 369,000 English pages for "proof of a world wide flood."

The Indians of California say that the San Joaquin Valley used to be a lake. Sea shell fossils used in making roads in many parts of the State of Texas and California and other places prove the underwater world wide flood. What happened to the bodies of the estimated nine BILLION people on the earth at the time of the Great Flood? Volcanos all over the earth were erupting and spitting sulfur into the air. The rain combined with the sulfur to for sulfuric acid. Imagine what a horrible death for the animals and people as they slowly dissolved from acid and disappeared. Noah was instructed by God to pitch the Ark inside and out with tar. Tar is acid-proof, fire-proof, and water proof. There is a mantle of water around the earth that deep wells tap into for city water supplies. Those fountains of the deep gushed out during the Great Deluge.TheARKof NOAH is still on Mt.Ararat, fossilzed. "

Just because a story is passed down from generation to generation does nothing to prove its existence. For example the story of Santa Claus is passed down from generation to generation and I think we all know the validity of this story. If one man and his family told this story why is it completely different among cultures? Why is it that many historians can’t agree on where the location of Mt. Sanai would be? Why does the Bible contradict itself in telling the location of Mt. Sanai? Most of the Red Sea claims of finding chariot parts have been proven to be false. The people doing the excavating are not Archaeologists. All of the supposed artifacts cannot be located to this day and there are at least 13 sites so-called ‘experts’ claim to be Mt. Sanai. "

That article was regarding a gay man who frequented bathhouses if you would care to read instead of jump to conclusions. It's a wonder you can keep your pants on the way you jump to conclusions all the time. Talk about rushing to judgement, verdict and execution, for a man who says he doesn't believe in violence you sure get violent with your tongue in your responses, always name calling, untrue accusations, I never once said that I thought anyone had AIDS or HIV, if you are sensitive to that, it is your problem not mine.
I hope you calm down and relax on that second vacation as Alejandro puts it, sounds like to me those tots in history are stressing you out. You are so quick to put me and everyone else down when you don't have an intelligent comment to make and it gets rediculous that you don't see yourself doing it. Do the research and rebut what I say don't simply follow the story with your finger use your mind too. "

" To Scott Tucker - the above post was not correct I posted and pasted two articles on different subjects. All I was trying to do is point out to Melissa and the rest of you neo-nazis that this country isn't as bad as it could be. There are others that have far less respect for human rights than the United States of America. That is how they deal with AIDS and HIV in Cairo Egypt regardless if you obtain it in homsexual sex or heterosexual sex Mr. Tucker. It doesn't matter to them they punish it the same way with three years in Prison.
So get over it and once again you are guilty of jumping to judgements and not researching the article either way the shoe fits your foot Scholar.
You always try and pick an argument than try and have an intelligent discussion that is why Alejandro and I get a big kick out of razzing you about your dogmatic ethics and rediculous opinions for being a Scholatic Champion. You are so learned but you won't listen to anyone else's opinion how juvenile is that young Teacher of the young? "

" To Alejandro - Can you believe this piece of work Scott Tucker now the man is putting words in my mouth and on my blog that aren't there. Do you think they have LSD available in Switzerland?
This so called Scholar of ours is beyond belief, he takes everyone's opinion flushes it down the toilet and substitutes his own without malice of forethought. I hope he does stay in Switzerland, I wouldn't want him teaching my grand nieces and nephews or grandchildren would you? "

" To Alejandro - I checked with the Registrars Office in Kings County and you and I were right all this time Alejandro. The scholar is blowing smoke, he has to be a resident living within kings county to vote here even on National Elections otherwise since Switzerland is his place of residence he is not eligible to vote in any elections, I don't care how many passports he maintains. That is per the Kings County Elections Office as well.
Isn't it amazing to what steps we will go to weave a spiders web of deceipt. Typical liberal can't believe a word they say. "

" Good job Amanda, let’s look at these. Corinthians says homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible says Atheists will not either but you are not asking for Atheism to be illegal. Mark, Timothy and Romans do not say homosexuality is wrong. That is how you chose to interpret them. Kings is somewhat on the right tract but there are other things Rehoboam did that God was unhappy with. Leviticus is pretty cut and dry, it does state that Homosexuality is wrong and gays should be put to death. Why should these versus be taken as is and others shouldn’t be? Leviticus 25:45,46 promotes slavery, Mathew 7:1,2 says not to judge yet here you are doing just that. Mathew 6:5,6 says not to pray in public. I guess you’re happy that prayer was taken out of school, and you never pray in a public place? 1 Tim 2:11,12,13 says women have no rights to teach or hold authority over men, and should learn in silence and submission. Have your children ever had a female teacher? Have you ever spoke in Church? "
Amanda R wrote on Jun 30, 2008 5:56 PM:
" This isn't about atheism, is it? Leviticus is Old Testament, and you wanted to discuss New Testament.
I am not judging anyone. I have only said what the Bible says. If I tell you the sky is blue, am I judging? No, I am stating a fact, just as I have stated facts from the Bible here. You think I don't like gay people. I know gay people and some I like, some I don't. It's a matter of character. I can like someone all I want but I don't have to agree with their lifestyles! You're the judgemental one Jeff, I've seen that many times.
Please, read all of Matthew 6 before you say it instructs us not to pray in public. It is saying don't be like people who pray and worship and do good deeds for the attention. If God sees that you pray alone when noone is watching, he will reward you greatly. Basically, don't do it for the recognition, pray sincerely. "

" My son has never had a teacher, neither have my unborn twins, but they are also not "men". I have spoken in church, but never held myself in a position of authority over men. What my husband says, goes in our house.
So I don't go over my 200 word limit, here's one last bit of bedtime reading for you:

Jeff, get off my back! Sometimes I forget how all-knowing you are, and how naive I have been in my mere 20 years on this earth. Now that I have answered your questions, maybe I'll go for a nice long drive in my SUV... "
