Supremacy isn't really my cup of tea, and I'd want to keep it apolitical.. Just a run of the mill, "hey, look how good we have it!" celebration. Maybe call it the "Privilege Parade". Sounds like a good time.
How about we just have a great big 4th of July barbecue, invite everybody in the community to come, have a good old time and just be proud of the fact that we're free to be who we want to be? That would be nice.
>> What are you talking about? I never said such a thing. >>>Of course I can't, nor can I find marriage in the Constitution, only in the Bible, the Koran, Paper written by monks, and the US tax code. The tax code is all much newer, less than a hundred years and way after the 14th amendment. So what law is it you were denied equal justice? When did the justice become unequal?
Heck no. I'd just make it one big multi-gender, white, black, straight, rainbow, multi-ethnic, multi-faith (or lack thereof), lollapalooza of a parade followed by one kick-ass barbecue and street dance.
What else is there to do in that west bum fudge place he lives in? (See I can be a total duche about people's residence of choice too)
I don't believe in "real Americans" (white, Christian, heterosexual, small town? That was more or less Sarah Palin's definition) and "unreal Americans". I'm more in line with e_blazer. Hey, e_blazer, let's do that barbecue! I'm out of town July 4 (visiting my father, 95 years old, still kicking) but later? I've already got plans for Mediterranean themed barbecue party, leg of lamb marinated in yogurt and spices, then grilled. You can be our token straight guy!
Hmmm...if you're doing the barbecue it would almost be worth the ten hour drive. You doing one of your chocolate desserts?
Haven't picked dessert yet, it's a Mediterranean theme. I'll come up with something ridiculously decadent.
Mediterranean dessert? This looks good: http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/hazelnut-chocolate-baklava.aspx?nterms=50150,50034
Funny--all I read into Marazul's reply was acknowledgement of crandc's reputation of being the infamous "cake lady" that Mike & Mike used to talk about, for which reason decadent desserts would absolutely be in her wheelhouse. How did you interpret what he said?
Actually it depends on what is ripe in garden. If peaches are ripe, use a branch of rosemary to brush with olive oil, grill, make peach shortcake with homemade ice cream (maybe almond, goes with peaches). Acceptable? Grill whatever other vegetables available, hummus, garden salad, stuffed grape leaves (I have tons of grape vines!), Persian rice, pita, maybe try grilling instead of baking, wine! of course wine!
I said Pride was crime free and that is true of our community. Unfortunately there are brave heroic heterosexual who prove their superiority by coming over to attack the queers. Two incidents known. In one, a couple had arrived around 11 AM on Pride Sunday and were joining the Parade when a man sucker punched one of the women from behind and threatened to kill them both because Jesus. (the reference to Jesus was his) The heroic brave heterosexual tried to quickly escape but no one moves quickly on Pride Sunday; he was intercepted by the crowd and handed over to police. He is facing multiple charges. Not sure what his defense will be; hard to claim self defense when he assaulted a stranger from behind, hard to claim gay panic when he traveled to SF for Pride Sunday. Maybe justification because, you know, god's law and all? That evening, a man leaving a club just after midnight was verbally abused by a group of 3-4 brave heroic heterosexual men in a car. When he tried to walk away they fired at him, wounding him in the hand. He is expected to recover. The brave heterosexual heroes, having shown their superiority (three or four against one, armed against unarmed, car against pedestrian, very courageous!) sped off and the injured man was unable to give much description. So they can whoop it up with their brave heroic heterosexual pals about how they taught that queer a lesson. What heroes. Ask me again why we need Pride?
Naw! I won't ask you why you need pride. I will ask you why you write so strangely? The heroic brave heterosexual? That my lady, is a weird description of person that is probably mentally ill. A sandwich short of a picnic might work too.
Wow, you've taken a huge step in a new direction of thought, for years it was said that homosexuality is a mental disease, now you're saying that homophobia is the disease. Not sure how right you are but it is a remarkable change.
