Interesting Bit of Constitutional Debate.....

So....read this article. It's about how an Anti-gay, religious organization wanted to be able to attend, and hand out fliers at this weekend's Pride (for those who don't know...Pride is the term for the activities that once a year in different cities celebrates the lesbian, gay, bi, and transgender community) Parade and Festival in St. Louis.

I have to say that I agree with the city, and I am glad that they are letting the (in my opinion) ridiculous, overzealous, hateful religious group hand out their preachy and judgemental fliers. One of the main points of the Pride Parade is to celebrate the acceptance of different lifestyles and different opinions. Not letting "Apple of his Eye", or whatever their corny name is, express their opinion would invalidate the entire celebration. The first amendment applies to everyone. Period.

Plus, I hope the attendees involved in Pride have a sense of humor about this! I think lots of overly affectionate gay couples, transvestites, and the like should show their Pride by celebrating right in the faces of our self righteous friends at "Apple of his Eye"!

Evangelize that, suckers!!!!



After all, one of my favorite quotes is

"Freedom of speech means letting people talk, even when they are wrong."

I'm going to add a P.S. here.....

I find it interesting that "Apple of His Eye"'s members were formerly (or maybe still are, I don't know the specifics) Jewish. However, they believe in Jesus. No opinion here or anything...I am just intrigued by that.

P.P.S,
Man, I have been really political lately. Next blog entry will be fluff......promise!
