Perhaps he is the one who derailed the thread. You highlight me as an example, yet do not denounce how these guys brought disrespect to Etem? There should not have been even a mention of "rape" in this thread, yet you choose to pick on me? Please read the thread again. a poster mentioned "I have never heard of a gay person raping a straight person " Then a different poster replied Dahmler. you are confused as to who mentioned rape in the first place. you have misplaced your ire, which happens a lot in threads regarding sexuality.

Is that a problem for you? 3 yes you are allowed to be proud that you are heterosexual, but since you were born that way it is a bit silly to be proud of something you had no control over. 4 No it does not mean you are a bigot 5 No, in 20 years all the uptight, holier than thou people will have passed away leaving a Canada free of bigotry, and no one will give a crap about dressing rooms and who is in them. 6 Please enlighten me as to just where you get this stuff about schools and dressing rooms?

chon derry Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 although the lgbt community in rupert isn't big enough to have a parade it is recognized and respected. this foot bridge in our tourist waterfront area reflects it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks rad, they should keep that year round. The (former?) Canucks "fans" complaining on Facebook crack me up. The Canucks have participated in Pride events for the last 4-5 years, or at least as long as I've been watching hockey. Did they not notice before? Why pick now to boycott the team?

Which is hilarious as 1) the Canucks won't miss them and 2) The teams they say they'll cheer for instead are involved in LGBT outreach programs anyway. Good riddance. You should never waste your time trying to please stupid people (as evidenced by them supporting other teams that also support Pride). 56 minutes ago, ThrustyPrusty89 said: That looks rad, they should keep that year round.

I've been sick since Thursday, but if I'm feeling better I'd like to head to Pride as I know many people who are gay/bi/trans/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trend in schools isn't it? Thanks Let me re-word that: Quote I've got a couple question. Do Italian/Greek/Indian/Irish/African/Japanese/Lumberjacks/etc. people have more rights than Canadian people? Why do they need a parade/festival ? Am I allowed to be proud that I am Canadian? If I am proud to be Canadian does that mean I'm a bigot? Will we have to have separate dressing rooms in 20 years? That's the trend in schools isn't it? Thanks And yes, much like we had to overcome racism against Africans, Irish, Japanese, etc., we also have to overcome substandard treatment of people in the LGBT community. Sometimes that takes legislation to enforce what should be equal but isn't treated as such, and certainly it takes recognition that a problem exists to begin with. I'll be happier when the day comes that people don't treat each other differently because of their religion, colour of skin, orientation or anything else but until the issue deserves attention.

This is where the reason for Pride comes from, its a way for gay people to show we are proud of who we are despite what people may say or think of them. I don't see how that gives gay people more rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
