"Just because you do agree with a lifestyle (that I and others know is unhealthy and destructive) does not give you a right to shove it down our throats and influence our children with such destructive behaviour."

Agreed. So there's to be more no more religious education classes in schools, and those infernal doorknockings are to be halted. If you could get rid of those 'hour of power' christian TV thingies in the mornings I'd also be much obliged.

Well, ah, my friends won and dragged me along to see the parade but I left early.

What I did notice was a reasonable crowd, less floats and the floats were moving slower to make up for this.

There were various commercial floats. There was an ANZ, Westpac and IKEA float, all with hired marching boys and people strangely cheering at this intrusion.

The police were fantastic and patient. I give them five stars for community PR.

"John Howard" was there without a significant slogan. Not really in a negative frame, just that he had to be there must have been enough.

Less in the Member for Bligh / Sydney Lord Mayor: Clover Moore's float for the state elections, which was paid for by the Sydney City Council. Naughty Clover. Tut tut. Less in the ALP and the Greens Float, and Shane Mallard didn't turn up with the Liberals float now that they have shunned him for preselection.

There was, however a good work choices float from the unions.

There were children in attendance an many Asian tourists. Near the family floats were naked men with stockings over their penises to make them longer. The families next to me left immediately. Oops.

It was generally what you would expect but I was glad to get home to my tim tams and the family. Once the bottles and cans and the drunks roll down the hill, you know you've been there too long.

The Surf Life Savers joined in this year too.

Who'd have thought those bronzed Aussie icons would be lured by such a profane, disgusting, polluting event, eh runner?

Maybe they don't really save drowning people. Maybe they're really out there drowning heterosexual kids or something?

Ikea? Always thought their furniture was a bit suspicious. And we all know what those firemen get up to when they're out there pretending to put out fires. It's all just a smokescreen (heh) for godless depravity.

Who cares if the attendance figures were exaggerated?

What's your real issue?

Your sly innuendo is another covert but obvious attempt to bash gays.

Sneaky, sneaky!

Figures indeed! Get a life, mate!

Provers.

What difference does it make how many went to this duscusting and degrading event.

Whats your point? I agree with Dickie. Your up to something but I dont follow this sort of crap enough to know what.

If the Government allow this sort of behavouir especially as an example to our children then no wonder why we have the trouble with kids and youth we do.

I think Andrew Bartlett supports these people doesnt he.

People with what ever on their whatevers 'indeed.'

Probably just as well I have never unknowly walked down a street to see this stuff carrying on.[ Anybody for cricket]

They say being gay is a deafect by gene at birth and people cant help it.

Fair Enough. But keep your private sex life to yourself. normal people dont want it jamed down their throats or their kids either.

You dont see married couples rally~s with a demo of their activities and body parts.@#$%^&*()_

These stupid pricks can stick their exposed you know whats up their * ---Ask your mother for sixpense.
