opposing view week 4

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/should-firefighters-be-forced-to-attend-a-gay-pride-parade
This article is about the pride parade in San Francisco about a 4 straight firemen were forced to attend the pride parade by their superiors. All men had a moral objection to homosexuality and were sexually harassed by the crowd and other LGBTQ people in the parade. This article makes it seem like these men were victimized for hating. It sympathizes with the men when the real moral would have said whatever it is no big deal, and join the parade. These men should be ashamed of themselves for even have view against homosexuality. Really there is nothing wrong with it.
And the jury stated that these men were right. That isn't right though... it's not justice.

Opposing Sides week three

So again with Pride Parades, extremists who are very against this topic usually are in favor for a straight parade. Most Gays think that this is a mockery because they aren't minority and when was the last time we heard of a man beaten to death because he was straight? The straight pride would be held just for the hell of having one because they don't like that Gay people like to express that they are gay. They think that they should be allowed to show the same pride of being straight. Yes that is valid, but when being straight is the socially accepted norm, there really isn't any need for one.

opposing sides week two

So again with the Subject of Pride Parades, many people are in favor for them. Mostly gays, and other allies. We think that it is an expression of our pride which it is. For years homosexuals and other LGBTQ people have been made fun of, attacked, ridiculed, and even killed and we can't help but feel that we truely are the minority no one cares about. This pride states that we have eachother and we don't have to hide or pretend to match a certian standard. Because we are our own people. That is what it comes down to.

So this week i decided to analyze the gay pride parades and what they actually mean. To some it is a harmless celebration of sexualities with friends and families. A place to feel safe and at home. On the opposing views they beleive it is a "vulgar" display of sin, drunkenness, and licentious individuals cross dressing and hooking up while walking down a street half naked. In this article, while trying to be objective, they criticize the event as promoting inappropriate behavior (especially drunkenness).
