As Obama declared June as national gay pride month, cities across America held events celebrating homosexuality. While some may say that the events are merely “family entertainment,” others are deeply concerned that children are spectators and participants in many of the activities.
Philadelphia
“Philly Pride” was held on the weekend of June 9th and 10th. It was sponsored by a number of corporations and featured booths from Walgreens, Miller Beer, Costco, 5-Hour Energy, State Farm Insurance and others.
The event also featured a booth from TLA, a distributor of homosexual pornography. It is reported that the group included a “Gay Adult DVD” in every one of its “goodie bags.”
Some attendees dressed in drag queen attire, some donned t-shirts with vile messages, and others hardly wore any clothing at all. One man, who was a sadomasochist, dressed in a gown and waved a “leather pride” flag. During the pride parade, some men were seen dancing in a very sexually suggestive manner, including two “go-go boys.”
The parade also included a trolley car sponsored by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, specifically it’s “Office of Diversity and Inclusion.” A number of children rode the trolley, including those of toddler age. Many parents brought their children to watch the parade as well.
A religious organization also held signs along the way, which read, “Gay By God,” “Stop the Bullying” and “End AIDS.”
Chicago
The City of Chicago has been hosting homosexual pride events all throughout the month of June. Rahm Immanuel, the city’s mayor, has made an additional declaration on top of Obama’s proclamation, dubbing June as “Gay Pride Month” in Chicago. Immanuel is expected to appear at one or more events this month.
On June 10th, Urban Village Church hosted a special homosexual Sunday service, followed by a homosexual film festival at United in Faith Lutheran Church.
Other events included a “Dyke march” (a parade for lesbians), a homosexual hall of fame event, and a national HIV testing day seminar, as well as parties at local night clubs and in the streets.
Additionally, this Sunday, the city is facilitating an area for senior citizens to gather and watch the homosexual pride parade as it passes through the streets of the downtown Chicago.
San Francisco
“San Francisco Pride” begins tomorrow on the infamous Beale Street and continues throughout the weekend. However, the event is stated to begin unofficially this evening with a transgender march, which organizers are calling “one of the largest trans events anywhere.”
Like Chicago, the city plans a “Dyke march,” and will additionally feature a “men’s spanking party.” Other gatherings will include a homosexual country-western dance at a local bar and a “Good vibrations pink pleasure day.”
Children will also be participating in the event as part of a kid’s gathering at the San Fransisco LGBT community center.
Additionally, a lesbian couple is expected to read from their book Here Come the Brides! Reflections on Lesbian Love and Marriage.
The event’s website calls the gathering “a proud and sexy weekend.”
The organizers of “Chicago Pride” outline that homosexual pride events first began in 1970, following an incident in 1969 where an informal homosexual group was broken up at a bar in New York City by police. The following day, other homosexuals in the city stood outside of the bar to protest. Municipalities across the nation then began to follow suit by holding city-wide events, especially in Chicago and Los Angeles, to rebel against the country’s stand against the homosexual lifestyle.
While those hosting the events put a certain spin on the wording in an attempt to attract families, others state that the events are far from being family-friendly and are extremely perverse.
“Just as they have redefined other historic conventions, religious systems and institutions to accommodate their ‘gay’ ideology, homosexual activists and ‘LGBT parents’ are creating their own reality for what supposedly constitutes a ‘child-friendly’ atmosphere,” stated the organization Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. “Tragically, it is neither healthy nor wholesome for the innocent kids who have no choice but to attend these immoral events with their parents.”
Other homosexual events will be occurring throughout the nation this month and the summer, including the infamous Southern Decadence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is dubbed the “Gay Mardi Gras.”
Global observances are also being held, including in Berlin, Germany, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Vienna, Austria. Crowds appear to be in the thousands, with many men wearing dresses and make-up, and women wearing stripper attire.
