Organized every year by the Grand Plains City Council and a coalition of area churches, the Gay Shame Parade has been an annual event here since 1977, the year that citizens first became aware of gay people's existence.

Yes I know the union is joking. The people that publish it are anti gay.
I beleive they are making fun of antigay people. In case anyone misses the point.

Oh dear...it seems the The Onion's SATIRICAL piece has gone over a lot of people's heads.
People, this is not a REAL news item; it's showing up the stupidity of anti-gay protests by exaggerating them to the point of comedy.

It's a JOKE people, stop taking yourselves so seriously. There are no "gay shame parades" its all a satire. Yikes!
Ahem.
But about the REAL issue underneath this, I don't do pride parades, showing off your pride about anything is a sin, and bragging about your humility is too - my sexuality is my business, not something to assault the community at large with.

Hello people " The Onion", this story is a parody. The Onion is a very hilarious ,"newspaper". I read it every chance I get.

Freedom of Speech I suppose.
BUT, Gay Pride parades are much more fun than those. :)
THAT's why people have Gay Pride parades.

I have not attended a "gay shame" parade, nor would I, I have no shame in regards homosexuality.

Is that a joke? People actually treat each other like that? Jesus. That's so sad. I bet I would get murdered there and the police would sabotage the evidence.
