    People shouldn't flaunt what they perceive as a moral weakness. For their own moral weakness is showing.

    Holding hands or kissing is a SEXual indiscretion? That moral weakness is still showing.
    You can always look a different direction.

    Have you asked the majority of people whether they want those parades or not? Seems like liberal tyranny to me.

    if they're gonna smoke inside a full gas tank, they gotta expect bad things to happen...

    they're willingly walkin into the lion's den and then scream foul... crazy is, as crazy does...

    Then it's your norms we should be following. Isn't that paganism? Didn't we get past that?

    So you would abolish the right to peacefully assemble?

    You in the OP also talks about Iran and Gaza.
    So you know... time to bash the Christians as well.
    It is not as if some Muslims are the only haters.

    Sounds more like Islamophobes hate it that Christians got the same mentality.

    Never fails... when some poor debater can't find a way to rebuke something, that it just resorts in personal attacks.

    One nut case is hardly the equivalent of institutionalized violence by a society against a group of people. And, while demanding people be killed is bad enough, its not the same as actually
    killing them. I don't imagine that there are many Gays who wouldn't rather live in the USA and risking occasional disapproval, than live in a country like Iran where they are publicly flogged
    and then hanged, or live in an area controlled by ISIS where they are dropped from high rooftops.

    One is a pastor with his flock around him, the other is a whole bunch of random people.
    So I don't really understand how you can see this as "one nut".
    Half the US doesn't even have laws to protect the LGBT against hate crimes. And of that the ones who do, only 12,6% report them. You thinking this results in just the occasional disapproval?... Try being fired from your job over it... gay pride month or not, because the church likes it that way. Despite that,.. 16% of all hate crime figured out by the FBI is against homosexuals. It's probably sky high if everybody had laws to protect them, and report about it. They get killed over it too.

    The point still remains, Gays are infinitely safer in the USA than in Iran. The American Government doesn't now, nor will it ever, regard being Gay as a crime worthy of the death penalty - as is the
    case in Iran.

    Are you trying to say, a majority needs to agree before a parade can happen. LOL. Get real.
    No one is forced to attend any parade.

    Your darkness is personal.
    No one forces you to look outside your little world.
    It's not my norms, every individual, every group, has norms. Norms don't need to be your personal opinion.

    If a parade needs the approval of those who disagree with them in order to exercise their speech, then that's actual tyranny. Your argument is out of touch with reality.

    I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or not. No, that isn't even remotely close to what paganism is. In fact, you are the one proposing that others should be forced to follow your norms. But, no, that isn't even remotely close to any reasonable definition of what the word paganism actual means by any stretch of the imagination.

    It'll be slim pickin's. If you are going to charter a flight I figure you'll have the plane all to yourself. Any last wishes?

    Yes, yet raping gay men in order "to punish them" is an accepted practice. Who wrote the Moslem 'Book of Standards'? I'd love to see a copy of it.

    Don't forget that Iran is the country of the Sigheh so there is lots of room to manoeuver if you can get some mullah's signature.

    No more shocking than Thought Police or Political Correctness or Social Warrior.
