Instead, the article focused on "another example of how radical homosexual activists in positions of authority force their agenda on unwilling citizens."

Man, folks sure are afraid of us sissies!
Are you saying that a pride parade is on the same level as an MLK parade, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, etc? Just curious. I'm just plain against the idea of forced volunteerism of anything. I wouldn't want firefighters to be forcibly volunteered for Mardi Gras either, as a lot of stuff that would offend your average church-going folk happens there too.
