[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5598811, member: 12508"] My answer is leave them alone. If they want to have a parade, don't attend. Same with Gay Pride Month. If you're Conservative, ignore it as you would Black Pride Month etc. The only pronouns which confound me are "they" and "them" which usually denote plurality. I just spent 2 weeks in San Francisco and the big issue was homelessness, not LGBTQ. I saw a handful of obviously gay people and exactly 2 who were trans. No parading around in front of kids etc. and no drama at all. If you want your outrage go the Pride Parade next month where it gets pretty weird. But, that's [I]their [/I]parade, right? I've never been, but my wife said she went once and was so uncomfortable she left after 5 minutes. Pretty out there.. The wedding cake cases are pure drama IMO. If a baker won't bake your cake because you're gay, just go to another one who will. If I were the shop owner, I'd want the business and would avoid the adverse publicity. But, you also need to respect the beliefs of the owner. I don't see a gay "takeover"...ever. There are too few of them and the idea that they "recruit" and "groom" any more or less than heteros is false. Nobody is in danger unless you have those tendencies already, and science says gay is hard-wired, as in you know by a young age which way you swing.
