Million Dads March this weekend in D.C.
Hmmm....
"Mel Gamble" wrote in message ... So this is the "topless" thing Tracy referred to...guess I was better off with the pups anyway... : ) Talking about puppies... I was talking to a young lady (9 year old) about your puppies. No, she can't have one. Dad won't let her - but... it would be fun to let her play with a bunch of puppies (hint hint). Unfortunately I won't have time until the July 4th weekend, or maybe Monday. I don't know if she'll want to go Monday. Now that foal, her and I want, but there is this dad-thing. LOL A GOOD dad would let his girl have a horse : ) ..... AND a puppy : ) me bad I won't tell...it's our secret....

He's just ****ed 'cause he can't understand all the fuss over Father's Day...means nothing to him. agree... He acts like a man-hating dyke, not a father - not a man. btw - do you know who the organizers of the parade are? I wouldn't mind contacting them concerning their choice of Sundays to march through Portland's streets. I would like to know if they would consider moving it to another Sunday. See Pride Northwest at http://www.pridenw.org/ From: http://www.pridenw.org/faqs.asp#4 ******* Why is Pride on Father's Day weekend? Pride was originally scheduled on the third weekend in June. As Waterfront Park has become more popular, and more events reserve weekends in the summer, it is increasingly harder to find a free weekend. In addition, the parks have a strict maintenance schedule and are very careful about giving enough time between events for turf remediation. If we hadn't had the tradition of reserving the third weekend, we would have a hard time scheduling Waterfront Park at all. Although the event does conflict with Father's Day, it would be nearly impossible to hold it at any other time. ******* They have a 'contact' page. I'll work on what I want to say over the next few days. Personally today is not a good day for me, and I would have a difficult time being polite when addressing this issue. I need to personal quiet time alone to think. If anyone else is interested in voicing their opinion concerning their answer to the Father's Day question, feel free to do so. Here are some email addresses you may find helpful: Pride NW Board - staff at pridenw.org; Board President - president at pridenw.org; Parade Coordinator - parade at pridenw.org. Here's my favorite FAQ regarding their overt public displays of sexuality that my OP referred to: Why does Pride Northwest allow women to be topless at the event? Why are there scantily clad men in the parade? Why are there kink and leather-oriented people in the parade? Pride Northwest provides a venue for members of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) communities to gather, celebrate, disseminate information and enjoy one another. These communities vary widely, and people come from many different backgrounds and hold many different beliefs. Therefore, Pride Northwest is not responsible for the opinions and actions of each and every person who attends the event. We have a freedom of expression policy that states that as long as people are not breaking the law, or demeaning or degrading one another, they are free to do, as they like. In Portland, it is not illegal for women to go topless in public, so they are free to do so at the Pride events. Pride encourages all of its attendees to express themselves as they choose, and to remind people that we have to be tolerant of one another. The event belongs to everyone in the LGBT communities, and we don't always agree on things. They also make a big deal of stating the "Dyke March" by the Lesbian Avengers is not an official part of their event, but they respect their freedom of expression under their big tolerance tent. Too bad the dykes in the Lesbian Avengers hate men so much they cannot accept the fact they have a father. |
