However, just because someone might think it is sexual, that gives grown gay men the right to march around in thongs and butt-less chaps. Since you didn't say anything, I guess you would be ok with grown men wearing thongs and buttless chaps during these gay pride parades? Let me guess "Well, if the color guard can wear.blah blah blah." If color guards are wearing skimpy outfits covering only 10%-15% of their body, please show me some photos because I don't believe it. Sorry, but these "parades" are not pride "parades," they are sex parades.
Leather-I don't see much sexual bondage in everyday life. Since when has Indiana had a need for lifeguards in skimpy shorts? What pool or beach were these guys promoting? What about the Mr. At least with color guard, wearing these sorts of outfits (I don't see any as "sexual", more like ballet), it has been like that for a long time. Leather and a some float with a guy wearing the tightest, smallest outfight I have ever seen (outside of a totally nude sex parade). "At every parade I've ever attended where a high school band performed, including the 500 Festival Parade, there were always color guard or baton-twirlers dressed in tight, skimpy outfits." Funny thing, the girls are wearing more clothing than the GROWN men in this "parade." Sorry, but I just saw more photos.
If someone puts forth the effort, you can be identified. Before posting anonymously, one should give pause as to what the consequences might be if your identity were discovered. Bottom line is when using electronic media for communication, you are never completely anonymous. And to add insult to injury, the guilty party's candidate lost the election. It should be pointed out that the victim of many of his attacks came through the ordeal with his reputation and integrity fully intact. He 'fessed up and defended his actions in a post signed with his real name, but in my mind, he suffered significant public embarrassment and his reputation took a serious hit. He was able to positively identify the individual, who it turns out is a prominent, wealthy, and quite well-connected member of the GLBT community. Most of has had grown weary of this individual, and finally an astute computer-savvy list member did some sleuthing, using the electronic "tracks" that we leave when we use the internet for communication. The attacks continued unabated, and one prominent list member in particular found himself the subject of most of these attacks. After much pressing, he finally admitted that the name he was using was a pseudonym, claiming to be married and closeted and thus he needed to protect his identity. But no-one knew who he was, and it was quite apparent that he was concealing his true identity. This individual identified himself with a first and last name, and it was apparent that he knew his way around the local GLBT community. During the election of 2004, the GayIndy listserv, which in pre-blog days was a lively discussion vehicle, was visited by an anonymous poster who seemed to come from nowhere, and in the course of advocating for his candidate, also posted inflammatory personal attacks, some of which in many people's mind crossed the line into slander. I can relay a story that may give anonymous slanderers something to think about. thats AI right to do so! Like AI says, if you want your own blog, go get. The possible slanderous one and even the good ones. The owners have a right to delete all comments. Some have only one agenda, some are just there to tell about life experiences. This one, Indyundercover, TakingDownWords, my blog. Blogs are made by people to let other know THEIR point of veiw ond to tel l THEIR side of the story. I won't tell you who it was) If you don't like the parade, don't go! Problem solved!! I'm glad they had a nice time. There was even a Supreme Court Justice who was (closeted) gay. Ellen Degeneras, Rosie Odonell, Freddie Mercury (of Queen), Plato, Rock hudson, Gomer Pyle, (i forget his real name), Berry Manilow (who has at least 1 good song), Elton John, (several good songs). Don't attack the CCC members for wanting votes.
They don't care who the votes come from, provided they are legal votes. Who really cares about someones sexual orientation anyway. Whatever was deleted probably should have been. I usually disagree with Wilson46201, because I think he his normally wrong.
