More photos of the welcomed parade participants. Not work safe.
(Not lunch safe, for that matter.)
Not to worry, Madam Thatcher and Kate. Truth be told, I was on quite a helluva roll yesterday. I expected a fool or two to take me on. Actually, I have an extremely thick skin. It’s really hard to offend me. But I relish the chance to put those especially dense moonies in their place. I was pleased to deal with the impostor myself!
Kate, I notice the number of posts in this thread, and I believe this one makes 94. Is this a record? If not, what is the record?
Must go. Am at work. Time is money, after all!
Approaching 100 comments in this thread. What does that say about Canadians?
Canadians are really motivated by matters related to sexuality?
Our freedoms, that we take for granted, are at risk. Our tax wealth continues to be leaked into private bank accounts or wasted on Million dollar studies that are shelved when the heat on government cools.
That gal on the float has a great body!
It’s kind of sad that she is gay.
Come to think of it, if we guys are honest about it, female anatomy has always been a favorite study.
Information Commissioner John Reid’s lawsuit regarding Chretien’s agenda books is very interesting too. Ottawa Citizen July 19-2005. and BendGovt.blog.ca 73s TG
Todd is well aware that the protection for religious opinion that he is peddling so hard has been read out of that section by the Ontario Court of Appeal. There is in fact no protection for religious opinion. And no requirement to show any actual harm or threat.
Why do you think Todd is lying to us so flagrantly? Is he ashamed of the truth? Or is obsessive lying merely part of the package of hate-crazed insanities we call homosexuality?

I wholeheartedly agree, Tony. I must confess this is one masterpiece of mother nature I find most fascinating. I simply cannot turn away from lovely ladies.
Sounds like you and I are prime examples of regular guys: obsessed with bodies by Pininfarina, Giugiaro, Bertone, Zagato, etc. and those of the human female persuasion by Mommanature.
Hmm. Now I bet I’m gonna get flamed by a couple of moonie feminazis who probably participate in the kind of parades we’ve examined above, except with the kind of chassis we’d rather sell for five bucks than leave rusting at the backs of our driveways.
Hey, if it’s okay for some kinds of people to objectify their bodies and view others doing the same in such incredibly pathetic manners, shouldn’t it also be okay for regular, straight, thirtysomething guys (my own age anyway) like us to lovingly look on as Miss Universe leads another kind of event, whom the damn fools in TO forbade?
Or, as the case sometimes will be, Jenna Jameson or Kylie Wylde or Avy Scott or Belladonna…
Putting on my fireproof suit now… 🙂
Amen
And that brought the number of posts to a perfect 100!
This makes 101.
I’m stunned at the level of the comments in here — and I’m not talking numerically, but the degree of hatred. Unbelieveable. I won’t be back.
Don’t take them too seriously, Becky. I mean these guys are patting themselves on the back for showing their manliness for being attracted to the people in the two photos and I don’t think they even realize that one of them is a guy. And this is your area of favourite study Tony G??
Fool Westerner: That was the funniest comment I’ve read yet. Love your sense of humour. Much needed after all the serious stuff that we’ve been discussing on other threads.
ebt, can you point me to where they were read out of the section? I would like to read up on it. If I’m wrong, I’d like to know about it.
Are you too stupid to find it yourself? Or too lazy?
Becky, there’s no hatred here whatsoever. If you haven’t yet left, please point out exactly where you think you see any.
Not every strong-sounding statement or challenge you will hear in your life is hateful. You must understand this to survive in the hard, hard world where only those who obediently toe the line set forth by the state are allowed to have a good life (almost the case anyway).
Or, with all due respect, have you not yet learned to think for yourself and realize that it’s okay to criticize the whole political correctness thing when it is oppressive of regular people like me who will no longer take the abuse via the unfair treatment of my people relative to the people in the parade who get to break the law with gaudy impunity just because left wing extremists say that’s the way it should be?
EBT, friend, we need to take a deep breath sometimes. Can you remember where you learned of the reading-out of religious rights from, what did you say again it was, the Charter?
I find it interesting as it would obviously PROVE what I have been saying about the judiciary lately.
ebt, I’m with Stephen and Todd on this one. I can’t find the reference. I even work at a law office here and have additional resources, and the constitutional lawyers around here are not familiar with the case to which you refer. So on behalf of Todd, Stephen, me and a few experts, please just post the link for us.
Thanks.
“Then there would need to be a family section of course. The parents would need to herd the kids through the parade route. The fathers would need to be in shorts, sandals, and black socks and pushing lawnmowers. The mothers would need to be pushing shopping carts or baby carriages.”
May I add to the above:
…The teenage boys and girls proudly walk along together, happily grabbing ass, boobies and dong and Frenching like there’s no tomorrow; the girls occasionally lifting their tops for the edification of the boys…
Yes, that is who we are, the straight people who are very, very proud of the way we are and dream of having a parade, taxpayer funded and no police harassment whatsoever no matter what laws against indecency are broken… it is who we are and everyone should embrace it as beautiful…
BTW, the black socks worn by the fathers are knee-high. The sillier the daddies look the better. Can’t look too silly, can they? It’s the way they like to be. Even if us non-dads never understand the daddy guys’ ways… 🙂
Stephen,
Your parade sounds a lot like Mardi Gras in N’awlins.
Can anything be more ridiculous than two daddies in gold lame thongs?
“That gal on the float has a great body!
It’s kind of sad that she is gay.”
Ummm… Tony… did you read what “her” sash says? Miss Shemale World…
ew. I think I just threw up a little.
Todd, hey, you got the idea! Mardi Gras could be considered a straight fun parade of sorts.
However, the straights are brutally arrested for just a little flashing of boobies or bum-bum or peniepipe or pussywussy.
See the difference between the way gays and straights are treated?
“Can anything be more ridiculous than two daddies in gold lame thongs?”
Iron Lady asked.
I answer: yes. Two daddies in gold lame thongs and knee-high black socks and sandals.
Stephen Mc: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Threw me right off my Yellowtail Merlot. I’ll have to finish the rest of the bottle just to make sure it’s what you said and not what’s in the bottle. Now, if you’re talking gold lame knee high stilleto boots, perhaps….
Hmmm, Iron Lady, gold lame knee-high stiletto boots? Do you happen to have a pair? Do you wear them? With what else? What accessories go with that wonderful ensemble?
I’m trying to take advantage of a drunken chick here… ;->
Perhaps it’s time to visit a different kind of site for a little while…
Iron Lady, BTW, try Concha Y Toro Casillero del Diablo Merlot from Chile. You’ll looove it! I mean, right now! Bottoms up!
;->
Hey, looks like we straighties are openly carrying on with stuff WE like…
Perhaps our liberation is nearing…

Holly smokes, who thought that (some) lezzies could be that attractive.I thought one of the prerequesites of being a lezzie was that you had to look, well, kinda like ugilie.

Vagabond stated:
“I’m sure there’s nothing quite so Canadian as hating Toronto…The great Canadian myth is that T.O. is evil…Hard to imagine this sort of open-minded tolerance occuring on a large scale in Red Deer, Fredericton, Barrie, or Charlottetown.”
Are you seriously indicating that mean ol’ Canadians are unfairly characterizing Toronto?!? We like to make fun of Toronto for electing Mel Lastman but don’t pretend that there aren’t jokes about ‘weed-smoking’ BC’ers, redneck Albertans, those complaining Quebeckers, and you can’t forget the Newfie jokes.
In your last sentence, you have also unfairly characterized sections of the country as not being as tolerant as Toronto. I think you might be surprised. Face it, the Calgary Stampede parade already has the cowboys, indians, and cops. If you add some construction workers and a few soldiers, we’d have a Village People parade. Seriously though, Calgary also recently held a successful gay pride parade. No lynchings!
The dialogue in this topic is very specific in that it relates to the appropriate attire for public events – gay or otherwise. I did some work in the middle east last year…I don’t think most of them even know where Canada is, much less care about our parades.

PHILADELPHIA � At 105, Herbert Brown is impeccably dressed in a crisp blue shirt that brings out the color of his eyes but belies the strain of time on his frail frame. Given his time spent in a Nazi concentration camp and his run-in with the notorious Adolf Eichmann, it’s a wonder Brown has survived. But here he is, in the one-bedroom apartment he shares with his wife of 74 years, the former Magda Fritz, who is 10…

Fool says “you have also unfairly characterized sections of the country as not being as tolerant as Toronto”
Actually, having lived or spent significant amounts of time in the locations mentioned, my experience has been these places are not as tolerant as Toronto.
I also won’t pretend that there aren’t jokes or stereotypes about every part of the country; regionalism is one of the hallmarks of being a Canuck. But once again, in my experience, no place is so universally reviled as Toronto, with the possible exception of Quebec.
But most of the folks I know who revile T.O. have never spent any significant time here. Which seems (if you’ll pardon the pun) foolish to me.
OK Vagabond, you may have specific reasons for your opinions on specific places. Your specific use of the terms ‘hate’ and ‘revile’ with regards to opinions of Toronto makes it sound like you are intolerant of their views. No region of Canada ‘hates’ another region. You may be indicating that Toronto is a large city with more multicultural communities and therefore people from different backgrounds are more used to their differences and get along easier. Congrats TO, you are so incredibly huge.
My point would be that TO city hall did not exhibit tolerance when it judged Miss Universe of demeaning city hall. Mel Lastman wasn’t exhibiting tolerance when he stated the following
– When have you ever heard the United States take the blame for anything? This is no different. (2003 blackout)
-What the hell do I want to go to a place like Mombassa?… I just see myself in a pot of boiling water with all these natives dancing around me. (Before going to Kenya to promote Olympic bid)
– They don’t know what they’re talking about. I don’t know who this group is. I’ve never heard of them before. I had never seen them before. Who did they talk to? They haven’t even been to Toronto. They’re located somewhere in Geneva. And they haven’t talked to us all. They read the papers and sometimes the papers exaggerate. (referring to WHO advisory on Toronto during SARS crisis)
When Dar Heatherington wigged out in Lethbridge, she was hounded until she stepped down. Conversely, Mel Lastman was elected twice. If Toronto REALLY is such a tolerant city, put your money where your mouth is and MAKE your elected officials reflect that tolerance. Did David Miller really not know beforehad that Miss Universe planned on coming to city hall?
I hate to break up your, ahem, parade but the Mayor of Toronto has apologized and made it clear Ms. Reid is welcome.
So that makes Toronto intellectually and politically consistent on this subject. Which is more than I can say for many of the comments to this post or, for that matter, the rest of Canada which apparently still has a lot to learn from downtown Toronto. Seriously folks, in a world where religious maniacs want to blow us to kingdom come, if you think this stuff is worth getting het up about (ha ha, I make joke) you need to get your priorities straight (har har, I slay me).
I beg your pardon. Of course, I meant Ms. Glebova.
Rain on your parade
Miss Universe, Natalie Glebova, was briefly barred from opening an event in the square outside Toronto city hall thanks to a fifteen year old city ordinance. Some folks think this displayed an unwarranted hypocrisy considering the skin on display…
