Right-wing activists plan Normality Parade (Poland)

[Meeker Morgan]

From Radio Polonia:

Members of the right-wing All Polish Youth organisation intend to organize a “Normality Parade” this coming Saturday. One of their leaders informed the media that their aim is to show that a vast majority of Polish society supports “normal” marriages of one man and one woman. The Parade is meant as an answer to Gay and Lesbian Equality Parade which took place last Saturday. Member of the European Parliament Wojciech Wierzejski hopes that the parade will change the international opinion about Poland. Mr Wierzejski announced that he intends to demand an all-European ban on Gay and Lesbian parades. The MP is certain that the mayor of Warsaw who attempted to ban the Equality Parade will “take the right decision” and allow the parade at such short notice. The mayor, however, responded that he was not sure if the parade was such a good idea as his doubts concerned demonstrating sexual preferences regardless of their character. If the mayor does not allow the Parade, it will be organised as an election meeting of the League pf Polish Families which does not require the such an approval.

1. That is NOT a Normality Parade. It's a Bigot Parade.

If they're going to make a public spectacle of themselves, they need to give it an accurate name, for Pete's sake.

3. It's a BORE parade, you mean

All those pasty, freshly scrubbed, squeaky clean and undoubtedly overdressed participants will be interesting only if the crowd shows up stocked with elderly vegetables.

I used to love the Gay Pride parade in Boston. It wasn't a freak show to me, it was ART, full of color and fun.

I can't imagine anything duller than a parade praising normality. I have no idea what normal really is, but I'd think it would be bigotry and conformity.

4. I'm picturing an endless parade of Ward and June Cleavers,

dragging their terrorized, well-scrubbed children with them. No color, no pizzazz! :(

7. Ward and June Cleavers? Nope.

Think skinheads.

8. I think a lot of the religious right are just skinheads in disguise anyway

[Meeker Morgan]

9. Maybe so, but in central Europe ...

... "right wing activist" means skinheads, no maybe about it.

The Catholic Church laps it up of course, but it isn't an explicitly religious movement.

2. If you're a right-winger, you're not normal. You're damaged goods.

Severe emotional and cognitive diminishment is the root cause of being a right-winger.

5. But homosexuals are normal...

...

6. Of course it's a bigotry parade ...

... I just copied the original headline.
