     No one (well I can only speak for myself) gets their "knickers in a 
twist" of a gay pride parade.  I just don't agree it is a cultural event 
and that my tax dollars should be used for a grant to fund it.  I'm not 
allowed to express that or I'm branded a gay-basher, as hate monger, a 
bigot and a dozen other things.  I think funding for gay parades (or any 
other kind of parades by special interest groups) ought to come from 
voluntary donations.  Any group can hold various fund raising events.  I 
can decide to donate or not.  I don't want the "government" deciding for me.

     Yes, my comparison of pimps to normal thinking was extreme, but it 
was meant to make people realize that just because some think an 
activity is normal does not make it so.  I was not comparing gays to 
criminals.  I was trying to show that if you say something is normal 
long enough and often enough, you can get many people thinking it is.

Ice!
