There are plenty of gay people that live in big cities that aren't threatened by small town politics, and so sticking it to liberals or guns or immigration or abortion is a bigger priority for them. It's the same as poor people that vote for Republicans. The GOP is completely clear that they want to get rid of programs that help poor people and give tax breaks to the rich, but they have these people by the giblets because Guns, God, 'Bortions, and 'Murrica.
The entire point is that this is a parade. It's not a free for all public event where anybody that wants one gets a float. The Gays for Trump are perfectly capable of showing up for Pride and celebrating at the parade, but they are not entitled to march in it.
I'll say it again, if there were an Easter Parade in any town, and the Westboro Baptist Church showed up to have a "God Hates Fags" float, there would be no problem with denying them a place in the parade. They have the right to be at the event though, and even though the organizers and the WBP are both Christian, they don't stand for the same things and don't have the same message.
1. Yup and for those" more important" issues they are willing to toss other peoples rights under a bus . Same goes for the poor who voted for Trump.
2. I agree. Thou there is no way really of stopping them from coming. I think it should be made clear there presence is not wanted . As unwanted as a black person in Klan garb holding a sign saying " My solution to black poverty is you ni%#ers going back to the field" They can show up. But the have no place in the parade.
3. Same goes for the Easter example then can show up .But the have no place in the parade.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
