Likely one of the primary reasons you support gay marriage today Jim is because people over the years challenged the norm. Your position is quite hypocritical.

"there's a reason so many politicians and sponsors don't want to be associated with the parade, because they're in the wrong"
And one of the reasons is that they don't want to have to defend themselves against baseless accusations of intolerance, from the likes of you. That's precisely why you incessantly make these claims when losing an argument, in the hopes that it will shut some people up. It works, especially in the case of people seeking to win elections. That it doesn't have a shred of intellectual honesty, doesn't mean it's not effective.
"Your position is quite hypocritical."
It's not the least hypocritical. It would be hypocritical if I supported the right of heterosexual vets to march as such, but not homosexual vets.
Spence, I have asked this several times, and you keep dodging. I'll do it one more time, and I'll try to go slowly.
If everyone (not just homosexuals) is being asked to set aside sexual identity for an afternoon, how can that be considered to be discriminatory? If every group is being treated exactly the same, where is the discrimination?
You have fun trying to answer that. Hint..., screaming "HATE CRIME!" isn't really answering the question that I asked.
Here, I'll make it asy for you, all you need to do is fill in the blank.
"In this case, homosexuals and heterosexuals are being treated identically. All are welcome to march, and all are asked to leave sexuality out of it. I, Spence, think that's discriminatory because ______________".
