Pride march

[dreamblade]

Tboy, yes, please read transient's post to understand how your privilege blinds you to the reality of what LGBT people face. Read about the scout troupe leader fired from her job, the principal, or the nurse's aid fired for being gay (this is why I posted those specific jobs, maybe I was being too subtle), read about the opposition to two people being able to marry and enjoy the same spousal rights, despite paying taxes and participating in the political process as straight people do.

As for your examples of being treated like shit by one or two exes' family? try feeling that every relationship you have, the looks of disgust people give you on the street because you kiss another man. How about the way you referred to your trans co-worker as "she/he" instead of the gender they identify as? The issues are still there. They are still practiced, sometimes passively, sometimes aggressively.

As a poly man, I am going, because my rights to whom I want to fuck/date/marry are a long way to be recognised, and if it can be protested by partying, then it suits the Montrealer in me just fine.

Also: boobies. :biggrin2:

As you folks bicker, I'll be looking at half naked women, right or wrong.

I'm surprisingly okay with that.

How about the way you referred to your trans co-worker as "she/he" instead of the gender they identify as? The issues are still there.

The gender they identify as? Umm which would that be? Male? Female? nope....they identified themselves as TRANSGENDER......so, that's how I speak about them...end of story. YOU seem to want to make an issue about everything simply because I don't feel the city streets should be used in this manner....or did you miss the part about me saying I'd have no problem with the event being held in one of the hundreds of venues suitable to things of this nature? Talk about selective reading.....

Ok, Mr highandmighty, a woman is a lesbian and the "male" in the relationship, how do YOU refer to them as?

I never said there still aren't many issues that LGBT face.....not once. But I do challenge you to give evidence of any "gay killing" in the past 5 yrs.....But in all honesty, everyone has issues....some are who they choose to fuck/marry, some it is based on colour, some it is based on nationality, everyone has issues but the pride weekend isn't based on addressing those issues, its sole purpose is to party...trust me, some of those people I worked with were involved in it and that's all it was.....I mean, do you seriously think painting your dick purple and dancing around on a parade float is going to convince any politician to change the laws and allow same sex marriage? LOL yeah ok, RIGHT and I'll tell you right here and now, that ain't helping the cause one bit......for anyone who is anti LGBT, this is just giving them ammunition to convince those in power NOT to change the laws.....

I'll leave you with this proverb:

A young bull and an old bull were standing on a hill overlooking a herd of cattle.
He turns to the old bull and says: let's run down dere and fuck one of them cows.

THe old bull replies: how about we walk down there and fuck em all?

Let's see if you get the true meaning........

Live and let live but I do agree we should stop blocking up the city street with events. It's frustrating when you live in the area and just want to get home or head out somewhere. I love a good party but it should be held in more suitable areas.
