That is great!
Last summer our family visited Provincetown, Massachusetts, which is a gorgeous tourist town. They have a thriving gay community (very much aimed at separating tourists from their $), but the friendly and happy vibe was just amazing. Love is love, man.

Several hundred thousand people watched and interacted with the participants. Normally, I don't shoot parade participants because I can't interact with them. However, there was a lot of interaction with the spectators, many of whom, as I found out, came from hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Sodomites on parade. Disgusting to me regardless of the photography. A true example of a morally degrading society. So, bring on the back lashes toward me.

Why don't we have USA patriot parades anymore? God is not happy!

Sin is sin man. God has to be so let down with this kind of parade.

Probably so. I am not afraid to speak up against the loudmouthed few who get the spotlight and influence many based on evil destructive designs to our families and freedoms. I was not surprised this showed up here on our forum but I am not going to stay silent while the fools bow down to this stupidity and promote it.

It never ceases to amaze me that well-meaning people with beliefs based on religious teaching, which itself was based on oral histories written down and translated and re-translated and re-translated again through the ages, accept what they have learned as facts. By definition there is not one fact in any of the religions in the world, not one provable fact. Any religion, with or without a god figure, no matter which, is based only on beliefs.
BTW, 48% of religious people in the world belong to non-monotheistic religions. Their beliefs certainly are not in sync with your teachings. And that does not include the atheists and other non-religious people.
I just do not understand the arrogance of assuming one's beliefs are superior to another's. Nor do I understand passing judgement on someone whose life in no way imaginable impacts yours. And especially, I do not understand the need to do so. Why do you waste the energy? How does it enrich your life? What might you fear from complete strangers?

Nice try guy, but I was expecting this. Your reply is one sided based on YOUR belief which has not substantial or even scientific, biological or historically based. Oh ? well you are a New Yorker, well that explains it to some degree bit all there agree with you. So, let me ask you something. Would you choose to go queer or get some kind of transgender surgery ? Come dude.

Sorry Bruce, but you just ruined your own potential argument by using the word "choose." Would you choose to change the color of your eyes or have two heads? My questions are as unrealistic as are yours.
Perhaps this will help: LGBQT people are born the way the God in your religion made them, since He by definition does not make mistakes.

Ok dude, to keep this thread cleaner, If you want to go into a discussion, and let me tell you right now, I you are not talking to the or church guy, Ok. If you want to engage in more conversation of this then we need to go the the Private Messaging option. I do not care what the percentage of global people believe. Deceptions are the ruse.

Sorry, DUDE. I asked questions because I wanted to know the answers. Apparently you do not have any.
This is a photo forum, which as you noticed got sidetracked. I am approaching 90 years old and one of the things I learned along the way is not to debate with someone whose position is not based on facts, but who simply wants attention.

You were not present. I was. I saw hundreds and thousands of happy people celebrating. Exactly what did you see?

I wonder if those who are most vociferous about the sexuality of others are actually the ones who have the most concern about their own.
