Pride and parades…

ONLY in Northern Ireland would a gay pride march require permission from the Parades Commission, a body set up to take decisions on a different type of testosterone-fuelled parade.The BBC reported:

Jonathan Larner of the protest group “Stop the Parade” said it was “offensive”.

“Our outlook on this parade is a wholly peaceful one, we find the whole parade morally offensive,” he said.

“As evangelical Christians we believe what the bible says regarding sodomy – that it is a sin – and for that reason we want to oppose a parade that we see is promoting a sinful lifestyle.”
