Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day (so far)

These folks crack me up. Unlike Reverend Phelps and his satanic spawn of evil who believe homosexuals are gonna cause all of us to go to hell, I just think it’s funny as hell. No, not the fact that they’re homosexual. What has me rolling on the floor laughing every year when they have these parades is how ridiculously silly it all looks. From the “Dancing Dorothys” to the “Bouncing Buckaroos” (don’t ask) you can’t help but laugh.

Take the exquisite irony exhibited in paragraphs three and four below. In paragraph three one of the marchers states, “for one day in New York, you can be free and not feel ashamed or embarrassed.” Then in the very next paragraph we are treated to this description, “a bearded man wearing a white lace miniskirt and fishnet stockings sang Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.” A half-dozen men dressed in underwear and top hats danced behind him.” Embaressed? Ashamed? Somebody call the Fashion Police ASAP!

BWAH-HAH-HAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA ....... 

I mean, how can you not die laughing at that? I think if they want to be homosexual, that’s perfectly dandy but there is no excuse for being patently stoopid (and badly dressed in clashing colors). Seriously, I can just never seem to take anything the homosexual “movement” says at face value as long as they carry on like this.

Why not spend “Gay Pride Day” cleaning up a public park, helping out at a nursing home, collecting money for the Red Cross or other charities? That would show me they have “pride” and civic responsibility. Then I might be able to take them seriously when they push for “gay marriage”. Until then, it’s all just a joke to me.

Gay Pride Parades Held Across Nation

NEW YORK (AP)—Drag queens in knee-high boots, kids with two dads and New York City’s first openly gay city council speaker were among hundreds of thousands attending gay pride parades across the nation, weeks after a vicious attack on a popular gay singer and the 25th anniversary of the start of the AIDS epidemic.

Tens of thousands of spectators lined Fifth Avenue on Sunday for the city’s annual parade, withstanding intermittent rain and turning the route into a sea of rainbows with colorful floats and lavish costumes.

“Everyone else has a chance to express their affection freely, and for one day in New York, you can be free and not feel ashamed or embarrassed,” said 42-year-old Roberto Hermosilla, from Miami, attending his ninth gay pride parade.

On San Francisco’s Market street, thousands of festively dressed people looked on as marching bands, dancers and floats bearing corporate logos streamed by. On one float, a bearded man wearing a white lace miniskirt and fishnet stockings sang Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.” A half-dozen men dressed in underwear and top hats danced behind him. The parades also had a political message, with parade-goers bearing slogans about gay marriage, AIDS, and discrimination.

“It’s to have a good time, but also to remember the issues out there,” said Jane Woodman, 26, in San Francisco. “There’s still a lot of work to be done,” she said, noting the national debate raging over whether gays should have a legal right to marry.

The New York parade marked the very public and triumphant return of singer Kevin Aviance, who rolled down Fifth Avenue atop a fake pachyderm and a circus-themed float just weeks after the drag queen was viciously beaten and suffered a broken jaw. Police have charged four young men with assaulting the artist while yelling anti-gay slurs.

The theme of New York’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride March was “The Fight for Love and Life,” but there was plenty of talk about hate following the Aviance attack. The New York Police Department said reports of anti-gay bias crimes totaled 25 through mid-June—compared with 19 over the same period in 2005. “A few hateful homophobes will not set us back,” said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who marched in the parade. In January, Quinn became the first woman and first openly gay person to lead the council.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
