pubic_assistance Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 48 minutes ago, augustus said: It's fascinating when people refuse to recognize or acknowledge objective facts or experiences. Some people need to create their own world and then admonish others for not accepting their fantasy. Gay "Pride" events illicit this response every year. Certain types only see what they want to see. But their rose colored glasses aren't going to protect them from a mob of angry lesbians wielding beer bottles when their "Gayz4Gaza" event gets out of control. + BOZO T CLOWN and + augustus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ KensingtonHomo Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 The video shows 3 or 4 groups of people (out of thousands) getting into scuffles. I don't understand why certain men - who clearly dislike the queer community and do not belong to it - insist on denigrating members of it. + BOZO T CLOWN, + APPLE1, + augustus and 2 others 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estimates were for 300,000 to watch and 250 groups marching. It is Washington's largest parade and single-day celebration and one of the largest Pride Parades in the country. I meant to attend, but the hotel prices were stratospheric. + WilliamM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to be subjective, "wild" and "violent" would have to have predefined parameters and mean the same thing to each and every person.

+ APPLE1 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) No. Violence is an objectively applied word. My crazy suburban helicopter parent sister would likely describe that video as 'out of control drunks violently fighting.' She'd likely even think about joining some committee of fragile snowflakes like herself aimed at making changes for safety. I'd describe it as "a few intoxicated people exchanging a few bitch slaps." I'd then think to myself, 'I hope the bartender waters down their next drink a little bit.'

The parade is held at night to take advantage of coolor evening weather. Fall Prides and night parades are my favorite! Cooler temp - lends itself to more elaborate costuming/displays. Evening/darkness comes earlier (allows for better/longer light displays, sometimes even nice bonfires). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ APPLE1 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 If we define "violence" as subjective, along the same logic we can define "lair" and "scammer" as subjective terms. I hire a provider, make him get naked and step on the scale when we meet, and he weighs 151, or 149. His profile said "150" and he didn't correct that in our chats. I am now free to come here and label him a scammer and a liar. Really??? pubic_assistance and + augustus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but fall Prides are a bit sacrilegious. According to the Bible, Prides should be in the summer. Proverbs 16:18 says "Pride goeth before the fall".
