You not only have those rights, I will defend your continued possession of those rights. So long as we live in a free country, the parades are allowed by all. That's why we have a St. Patrick's Day parade, a Christmas parade, the (cinematic) Easter Parade, the May Day parade, the Thanksgiving Parade, the New Years Day Parade, and the inevitable Homecoming Parade.
I'm not certain of your point. Are you suggesting that you would like to declare such parades, which are secular, as illegal? And from what authority would you like to strip people of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights to peaceable assemble?

There was a Jesus parade in my town once during that whole national day of prayer. There weren't any gays on the committees so it wasn't very good. You do know that gay pride is to remember an historical event as well? But as far as I concerned you can throw a big boys that still pee the bed parade for all I care.

Homosexuality isn't mere behavior.... but then again, if you really WANTED to know what homosexuality is, you wouldn't be wallowing in voluntary ignorance, would you?
And who says you DON'T have the right to put together parades like those? All you need to do is get permission from whatever city through which you'd like to parade. Don't worry about getting permission, though. They support your rights to free speech and peaceful assembly even if you don't.
The fact that you think you have to "condone" homosexuality speaks volumes about your bigotry. It's not a moral issue or a psychological issue. The only real issue is whether or not you're going to get your head out of the early 1970's and acknowledge that homosexuality is a normal, natural, healthy, unchangable sexual orientation.

Yes, we have those rights. You are obviously a religious person. So I won't try to start an argument, but rights are like that. Freedom of speech gives a person the right to say anything no matter how others may perceive it. I dislike the hate speech directed at atheists. Christians have the right to say it, and I will defend their right to say it. Just don't expect me to be happy about it.

You are probably going to get your account banned for simply making an honest point here. And I'm probably going to get flagged for saying you had an honest point to make.
The far left and far right only believe in freedom of speech if they happen to agree with that speech, and Yahoo Answers caters to them.

I suppose so, if you really wanted to parade it. Free speech and all that.
You might want to talk to your significant other before the Adultery Pride parade though.

I think you should find a "Learn How To Spell" parade and pay close attention. Start there with the free will to learn how to spell. It may come in a little more handy than the other options.

I 'm not scared,Gay's are a crime against nature and should not be in the public eye or seen by children once Gay's become completely acceptable ,it will just open the door for the next bizarre behavior,so what will we be forced to accept next bestiality,and child molestation as normal I for one will not hold my tong, I think when they try to convince us that this is normal they are trying to convince themselves

Yes, they should be part of your rights.
As someone else said, you do not need to condone it, just tolerate it.
Personally I am more offended by the rights that some Christians exercise than I am by those that certain minority groups do. i.e. anti abortion demonstrations....very offensive to me yet I do not feel they should be stopped, people have a right to free speech etc.....
