I imagine you are pretty upset about that; I know I am.
From the Proud Anglicans Facebook page:
As midnight May 2nd approaches Proud Anglicans have been registered in the World Pride Parade. We are “marching contingent” only. I know this is not perfect and we have had a float for the past few years but due to rising costs and less money available to us this is the best we can do.
In past years the float has been a tourist bus:
The cost of participating with the bus would amount to about $3000, apparently. I find it extraordinary that a church that has done so much to attract Proud Anglicans has not managed to attract enough of them to contribute a trifling $3000 to an event that is evidently so dear to their hearts.
“Pride goeth before destruction”
Although my awareness of this parade is limited to only that which is reported in the news it seems to me that this really isn’t much of a parade at all. To me a parade would include not just decorated buses and dressed up people moving down a street. My idea of a parade is something along the lines of the Rose Bowl Parade. With beautifully decorated floats and marching bands. Now I know that the Rose Bowl Parade is a huge parade, but I offer it here as an example.
Too bad if my opinion offends anyone, but the simple fact is that a bunch of people walking down the street bragging about their perverted sex acts is not a parade.
Agree!
I agree. From what I have seen, they are similar in appearance to a “March for Jesus.” Neither are really parades but more of a proclamation or possibly a festivity.
There is the minor difference that March for Jesus doesn’t generally include naked men disporting their genitalia for public edification, of course.
One proclaims truth and the other a lie but they both involve people walking and riding floats.
They can still catch “Church on Church Street”, 11 am, with The ‘Reverend’ Brent Hawkes (a.k.a. McCain’s Millions Marrying Sam – as once reported in The Anglican Journal) officiating:’Minister’ at the Metropolitan Church, the one ‘Living The Vision’.
Without some visions, the people perish; with others, they still perish.
