Hello all and Happy New Year
I usually suck at making threads so I usually don't but I was surprised no one had mentioned this so I figured I would.
Anywho, onto the story!

Sounds nice but of course, without fail, here they come
JEEZ, lady. Get over yourself.
Oh well, one step closer to being a "Free Country"
Also the article mentioned a pretty interesting situation where a Seaworld float was protested by PETA members for their continued mistreatment of marine mammals, mainly orcas. 19 arrests were made and in another article it mentioned one of the protestors was a 12 year old girl.
Here's a link to that story on its own

Gay Wedding on Float Featured at Contentious Rose Parade - ABC News
One hundred twenty-five years of tradition collided with change and controversy as the Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., today included a gay marriage ceremony on a float.
In a note posted to Facebook, LeClair wrote that he wanted to provide the world with a glimpse of a loving gay marriage.
"I could not pass up the opportunity to declare my love and commitment to my soon-to-be husband for the whole world to bear witness," he wrote. "This is an opportunity to celebrate the long journey to Marriage Equality and honor those who came before us."
Sounds nice but of course, without fail, here they come
Nevertheless, supporters of traditional marriage objected. A San Diego woman created a Facebook group to protest the ceremony, and urged people not to view it live or on television.
"I guess they think they can pervert this year's theme "Dreams Come True," to allow this disgusting exhibition," she wrote. "Tell them NO! Tell their sponsors NO. Tell them you will boycott the parade by not watching or attending, and that you will NEVER watch or be part of it again."
JEEZ, lady. Get over yourself.
