Those who preach tolerance and equality are normally the least tolerant and least equal of all.

That’s why I was not terribly surprised to learn that organizers of a gay pride parade in Charlotte, North Carolina, banned a group of pro-Trump gays.

“Gays for Trump” had submitted an application to display a float during this year’s Charlotte Pride parade.

“It was going to support Donald Trump,” group spokesman Derek Van Cleve told me. “It was going to be a patriotic float with American flags and a few ‘Make America Great Again’ flags.”

He also said the float would be populated with a number of drag queens – dressed as Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty.

“We wanted to have a couple of drag queens on the float dancing in ‘Make America Great Again’ dresses,” he said.

“All we wanted to do is let the community know the gay community does not speak for every single gay – just like the mayor of Pittsburgh does not speak for every single person in Pittsburgh,” Mr. Van Cleve said.

Nothing controversial, just patriotic.

“Not every single lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender citizen is anti-Trump,” he said. “Some of us love him and some of us support him – including myself.”

Mr. Van Cleve told me he was surprised when Charlotte Pride rejected their application.

It’s just unfortunate that Charlotte Pride does not practice what it preaches.

"For a group of people to claim to want tolerance, acceptance, and give it to every single person you can imagine to give it to, for them to sit back and judge me for exercising my right as an American to choose my leader without judgment is hypocritical," Gays for Trump organizer Brian Talbert told Fox 46.

But their decision to ban “Gays for Trump” smells of narrow-minded political bigotry.

Charlotte Pride should be celebrating diversity. Instead, it appears they are shoving gay Republicans back into the closet.


Film at 11.... 🤔


This smells of Victor and his friends... 🤐

Did anyone do a "gays for Obama " float in previous years?

Seeing as Trump hasn't even recognized GLB-XYZwhatever month... I'm not particularly surprised the organizers don't want to recognize him. But a blatant propaganda float like that doesn't strike me as appropriate anyway.

This isn't North korea... we don't have to recognize "dear leader" in every event... although you seem to want to.

Just as I thought... you're lining right behind the anti-Trump gay-homos... 🤐

Why do they need a parade, anyway? They don't want heterosexuals forcing their views on them... so why do they do it to us? Being heterosexual or lgbt xyzpdq isn't something to be proud of... it's just the way you are. It's like being proud of having green eyes.

Should we have a heterosexual pride parade? We can all wear "I love the kitty!" t-shirts, and the women can wear "I love the sausage!" t-shirts... and stuff.

So I did a search. Nothing came up when i looked for similar gays for Obama floats in Charlotte parades in the past.

Maybe they don't want to turn a lgbt parade into a political rally for one candidate? You wouldn't think for a moment that they may not allow that sort of float in the first place and someone just tried to submit one to make a scene and pretend it's something special to do with Trump, would ya?

Of course you wouldn't think that...

I have no idea what gay-homos think... 🤐

Because they all look fabulous. They'd LOVE you with your dreamy, Freddie Mercury looks.

I am a handsome man... but I don't fall fuh no banana in mah tailpipe, ayite?

they should march at a Trump rally. The hugs would go on forever.

They would prolly be welcome... 😟

Baptists "NO LIKE" moho's...

North Carolina is full of Baptists.

MACS, we agree on more chit than we disagree on.....Agree wholeheartedly with your reply and Love the t-shirt and float idea....let's just see how F'n tolerant they really are. ( even though that outcome is already KNOWN )

So you agree with the organizers of the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade when they wanted to ban the gay float?
Because there was never a float promoting heterosexual Irish.

I like hugs.

well, I'd send you a hug but the gay-homo parade thread just doesn't seem like the right place.. 🤔

go to Charlotte.

Tail... isn't every float promoting heterosexual Irish?

We're straight white males... jesus... the world is our oyster. Literally everything has been organizers around our amusement, our needs or our foibles. Complaining because some group that doesn't normally get recognized wants a float seems weak and childish. Like a 4 year old throwing a tantrum because the parents brought a new baby home...

what kind of baby..?? Is it deformed or somethin..?? 😕

The July Fourth parades and New Years Day parades all across our nation reinforce our heterosexual traditions and values.
