Message #1400562 from Brumar89 at 4/26/2023 1:39:26 PM I'm proud mostly because of Trump. You and the Donald have a hissy fit and fallout? ++++ Gay Trump Supporters Banned From Pride Parade in Charlotte, NC Isn’t this technically discrimination against gay people? Posted by Mike LaChance Friday, June 9, 2017 at 11:45am 18 Comments Unlike his predecessor Barack Obama, President Trump entered office as a supporter of gay marriage. Yet the gay community, which is overwhelmingly leftist politically, acts as if we elected Pat Robertson last fall. Gay Trump supporters in Charlotte, North Carolina applied to have a float in the city’s gay pride parade and were told they are not welcome. Todd Starnes reports at FOX News: Pro-Trump gays banned from pride parade Those who preach tolerance and equality are normally the least tolerant and least equal of all. That’s why I was not terribly surprised to learn that organizers of a gay pride parade in Charlotte, North Carolina, banned a group of pro-Trump gays. “Gays for Trump” had submitted an application to display a float during this year’s Charlotte Pride parade. “It was going to support Donald Trump,” group spokesman Derek Van Cleve told me. “It was going to be a patriotic float with American flags and a few ‘Make America Great Again’ flags.” He also said the float would be populated with a number of drag queens – dressed as Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty. “We wanted to have a couple of drag queens on the float dancing in ‘Make America Great Again’ dresses,” he said. “All we wanted to do is let the community know the gay community does not speak for every single gay – just like the mayor of Pittsburgh does not speak for every single person in Pittsburgh,” Mr. Van Cleve said. Charlotte Pride, which runs the parade, released a statement: “In the past, we have made similar decisions to decline participation from other organizations espousing anti-LGBTQ religious or public policy stances,” the statement read. Isn’t that interesting? Someone should make sure the organizers of the St. Patrick’s Day parades in Boston and New York are aware that it’s OK to exclude certain groups from participating on such a basis.
