What stood out to me was that Sara White, who is an administrator at Trinity Episcopal Church, is an organizer for Shoals Pridefest. 

Since I very rarely (almost never) go to Politics, I didn't know there was already a topic about this. If I had known, I wouldn't have started another one. I put mine in Religion because I found it odd that an administrator of a church is an organizer for [Gay] Pridefest. 

It probably seems odd because all we usually hear are the Baptists and Church of Christ people spewing their judgmental rhetoric. There are several religious organizations who welcome gay people to their congregations (United Church of Christ, Unitarians, etc.). Although Trinity withdrew their invitation for using their park for a picnic because of the drag thing, the pastor's letter did state that they welcomed any monogamous married couple to the church, regardless of their sexual orientation. As for the drag and burlesque shows, I wish the event planners had left this out. It is not a good way to win support from the community. I guess I am one of those rare gays that just don't like that kind of stuff.

David, the Baptist & COC are the most judgmental of all Religions. I guess they think it's their place to reform gay people. I think it's because they think they will go to a higher "throne" once there or win an extra crown. Doesn't make any difference if I agree or disagree with the gay lifestyle, the final judgment won't be mine to make. I try to be kind/love everyone, although it's near impossible to love everyone.  

I agree that the drag & burlesque shows were not a good choice. The Religious is not happy about this festival. Throw in those two events & that just makes it worse.

I had some straight friends who went last night and they said it was a great success and everyone had a good time. 

Each to his/her own tastes. I'll just putter about the garden with the idiot dog and the guard cat since I'm straight and she-who-must-be-obeyed would take offense to me watching pole dancers.

It's a good man that obeys his "she-who-must-be-obeyed".

 

These days you never know if it's a real female or a man pretending to be female that's dancing around that pole.

Those of you who are uncomfortable with the drag and burlesque aspect of this celebration of perversity need to realize that such displays are very commonplace in many communities where gay folks who say that they "just want to be left alone to do what we do in our own bedrooms" nevertheless flaunt raunchy aspects of their behavior in public areas that are far from their bedrooms. The church lady who is reportedly an organizer for the local event was turned off by the drag and burlesque aspect of this shindig, as she and any respectable people should be.

Like straight folks want to be left alone to do what they do in their bedrooms and then want others to pay for the consequences fake contendah? What about the raunchy stuff straights do in public?

 The church lady who is reportedly an organizer for the local event was turned off by the drag and burlesque aspect of this shindig, as she and any respectable people should be.

=======================

What had her turned on in the first place? Did she say she was turned off? What else 'turns off' respectable folks? What about you hypocrites, what 'turns you off, what turns you on"?

If the Florence gay pride rally seemed to attract attention and given the cross river rivalry, I could see Sheffield getting in the act with a Stugis style motorcycle rally.

Your link to the "d y k es on Bikes" display leads me to wonder why such a high percentage of those 

women riding their hogs are themselves HOGS.  Does the D on B group  offer special incentives to the obese? Or is it that these lardbabes spend so much time in the saddle that they don't get aenough exercise?

I do not know what "had her turned on in the first place,"  but she evidently was sufficiently turned on to become an organizer.

So, you don't know if she was turned off or not, you're just assuming you know what she was thinking.

 It was plainly evident from what she wrote that she was turned off by the drag and burlesque aspect of the proposed "Pride" affair, since that particular feature compelled her to rescind permission for the celebrants to use the park.

Sounds more like she didn't want to listen to people like you whining and crying instead of being 'turned off'.

 Lots of things turn off respectable folks, since there are a great variety of immoral and corrupt activities that should turn off respectable folks.

Wonder how you'd know.

 Perhaps you have not found many actions that are sufficiently corrupt to turn you off.  Perhaps you have not looked far enough.

I find plenty of corrupt actions I don't like, most of them being done by straight people. This I don't consider corrupt.

Are you really so dense as to dispute that she was turned off of the idea of permitting them to use the park for drag and burlesque? The Administrator explained her revocation of permission and it is evident to anyone but a drooling fool that her action--as she herself explained it--was based on her aversion to the notion of the park being used for drag and burlesque activities. My conclusion is based on that FACT, not upon any assumption about what she was thinking.  She made her thoughts very clear.

Post what she said.

Some clarifications:

 

• Contrary to information earlier published in the Times Daily, Trinity Episcopal Church is NOT a sponsor of this LGBT event.  The rector of that church has specifically stated that the church is NOT a sponsor.

• I mis-attributed the rector's remarks, above, to Sara White, an "administrator" of Trinity Church.  The fact remains, however, that the church, on the basis of the statement by its chief local official, disapproves of the drag and burlesque activities planned for the Florence "Pride" event.  Drag and burlesque are commonplace activities for so-called "gay pride" celebrations of perversion.

There you have it beternnun. Neither she nor the church were ever sponsors, and she nor the church were ever 'turned off'  and rescinded their invitation to use the park as you stated.

 

You wrote:

Plainly evident from what she wrote you posted, yet she didn't write anything and the invitation wasn't rescinded:

When we approached the organizers of PrideFest about our concerns, they withdrew their request to use the park."

 

You go on to yap about shows of 'perversion' being common among gay people, yet will not answer the question about the shows of 'perversion' among straights. Check out spring break just to name ONE recent perverted activity.

  Drag and burlesque are commonplace activities for so-called "gay pride" celebrations of perversion.

Beternnun be what you are-if you're straight?

And where do you get that Sarah White is the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church? The article said she was the administrator but where does it say she's also the rector? 

 

From the TD online, June 10, letter from the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church:

"I am writing as rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in response to the article May 31 regarding our involvement in PrideFest.

 

 

Has there been any news coverage?

I haven't seen any. It's been kept quiet as far as I know.

I'm sure Condie will know all about it & as soon he gets home from warming a church bench, he will let us know.

 

Sorry contendahh, oh befuddled one, but no, your saying it means nothing.

___

And YOUR saying it means nothing means nothing! Two can play your silly game.

Why don't you just go down to Pride Fest and apologize and make nice? See who you know there. You know you want to go.

___

Because I have nothing for which to apologize to the perverts.

Sure you do, you need to apologize for calling them perverts.

______

I calls 'em the way I sees  'em.

Full Definition of PERVERT

What you don't realize hh, is Adam and Eve performed the first act of sex

and in the eyes of God it was a perversion of the plan he had for the act of

procreation. And we, as the human race still preform a perverted wild thing.

 

===========

LOL, like I didn't know the meaning of perversion. You call them as you see them? Been peeking? Tsk, tsk.

Jack, beternnun thinks it's OK as long as the folks are 'straight'.

 

I fail to understand why anyone needs a "pride fest". Why so demonstrative? It's not like we (heterosexual) have straight fests?!
Keep it in the bedroom and out of public domain and no problem

I fail to understand why idiots steal ID's to hide behind. I bet you also steal

credit card info.

Gays and lesbians often express plea to simply be left alone to do what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. But that is obviously NOT the way they behave.  For years, these "gay pride" PUBLIC parades and PUBLIC demonstrations have ventured far from the PRIVATE bedroom and into the PUBLIC square.  By any reasonable standards of common decency, the filth and raunchiness to be seen in many such activities should be disgusting to both gay and straight observers.
