" A group says ‘Charlotte Pride’ is pushing them out of the Gay Pride Parade because they support President Trump.
"I’m very proud of my country, proud of my president, and was once proud of my community," said Brian Talbert, who said he’s proud to be gay and proud to be a Trump supporter."

You are proud of a lying sack of shit, who spent 5 years selling the lie of Obama's birth? You are proud of a fucking asshole who scapegoated Mexicans and Muslims? You are proud of a sick fuck who attacked the military service of a Khan and even John McCain? You are proud of an idiot who repeatedly attacked 17 intel agencies who said Russia DID interfere with the election. And you are proud of a conservative party that hates LGBT rights and equality.
It never ceases to amaze me how that vile dark age party manages to get people to vote against their own self interests.
Is it legal for gays to support Trump and the GOP, yes. But the real question is why would you be so self loathing and vote for a party that hates you? Gays supporting the GOP is like a seal voting for a great white shark.

So he's proud to support an douche bag who made a homophobe his vice president . Is a member of a party that's fucked gay people over left and right. And spent pride week courting a bunch homophobe religious wingnuts . Guess this really does prove gays can do anything. Including being self contrarian morons. A gay person voting Republican is like Turkey supporting thanksgiving.

Minn, I agree with almost 99% of what you post, but no, leave implication of censorship to the far right fascists.
You also have the right to call their bullshit bullshit in return.

Since when is "You can't march in our parade" censorship?
If the Pride event tried to get a booth at CPAC, they'd be met with the same response.
You support Trump/Pence, your message is not the same as a Pride event. You aren't being censored, you can make your own event.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Agreed why the hell would pride march invite a group of bigots . Kind of undermines the whole march .

I think they're forgetting the effect on the crowds watching when there are conservative groups marching in a Gay Pride Parade. Hell, even the Metropolitan Community Church folks raise eyebrows, and I wholeheartedly approve of that !!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Now of course the right wingers will likely try a counter one I seen them use is the bullshit idea it's the left who have abused gays there supposed proof goes something like this
"Barrack Obama once visited a homophobic mosque therefore it's equal " There is a profound difference between trying to mend fences between Muslims and Non Muslims .And trying politically mobilize a bunch of religious wing nuts.
" But after the Orlando Shooting you didn't protest" Why would I blame all Muslims for the attack and thus protest
" But you evil lefties tolerate those evil Muslims and there homophobia" No I don't not if they abuse gay people
Really it's a sad deflection tactic
