I'll post what I posted elsewhere:Those of us who disapprove of "pride parades" and the aggressive, embrace-our-views-or-else approach the alphabet soup lobby has taken, would not be served at all by a "straight pride parade." All this is is an attempt at trolling.
Exactly! Which is why it is such a good idea.
The mass media, pop culture (both in Hollywood and outside it), and the left are all unified on their messaging on those SJW issues. They attempt to intimidate/silence anyone who disagrees with them via boycotts of businesses, loss of employment, ostracism, and the rest of it. And because it is so pervasive, it is very easy for ordinary people who don't agree with them to be intimidated into silence. The result is that the public debate is very often one-sided.
A march like this amounts to a shout that "we're not afraid to speak out publicly", which is an
incredibly important message that needs to be heard. To some extent, it is what Trump has done -- acting as point man on issues on which other Republicans were unwilling to speak. Having someone out front who is willing to take those slings and arrows helps encourage other people to feel free to express their opinions as well.
I have my doubts that they'll pull it off, but they may well get a decent crowd of drunken Irishmen willing to speak out. And good for them.
