News Flash: Some People Offended by Men in Feather Boas and G-Strings

Yesterday, Jerusalem city officials announced that they will “ban the annual gay pride parade set for next week, claiming the march would offend many of the holy city's residents”.

The city council, including the mayor, decided "it is not right to allow the march or other planned activities to take place in the streets of Jerusalem, fearing that it will create an uproar, offend a wide sector of city residents and out of fear of public disturbances," Eitan Meir, director general of City Hall, said in a letter to organizers.

Well, we all knew this was coming. For years liberals have been banning Christianity (and Jada Pinkett) from classrooms, government and the streets on the basis that it might offend people. Take this 2004 Christmas parade for example:

In the latest skirmish over Christmas in America, a Christian group is not allowed to participate in Denver's annual Parade of Lights, because church members sought to sing yuletide hymns and proclaim a "Merry Christmas" message on their float.

However, the event, now in its 30th year, will include homosexual American Indians, Kung Fu artisans, belly dancers and, of course, Santa Claus.

Looks as though turn about is fair play. Granted, this was Israel and not the United States, but American liberals have already laid the ground work for forbidding so-called offensive events. But then again, liberals have a warped sense of values – Nativity scene: offensive, Smearing feces on the Virgin Mary: art.

Now don’t get me wrong, the Burque Boy loves a parade, and a gay one at that - particularly if the participants look anything like Neve Campbell and Denise Richard ala Wild Things (unfortunately most of them look like Richard Simmons and Barney Frank.)
