Homosexuals celebrate in ravaged New Orleans |
Homosexuals celebrate in ravaged New Orleans
By Joe Kovacs
Despite the devastation and ongoing suffering by thousands from
Hurricane Katrina, homosexuals paraded on Bourbon Street in New Orleans
over the weekend, and have rescheduled their "Southern Decadence" event
for tomorrow.
"It's New Orleans, man. We're going to celebrate," Matt Menold, a
23-year musician wearing a sombrero and a guitar slung on his back,
told the Associated Press.
An account of the small parade on the homosexual newssite 365gay.com
noted: It was a scene like something from a Fellini movie. Amid the
death, the destruction, and suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina a small parade behind a tattered rainbow flag made its way up
Bourbon Street on Sunday. The marchers said they were celebrating
Southern Decadence. The group - about two dozen people - all said
they lived in the largely gay French Quarter. Defiant, they said they
were not about to flee the community despite orders from the city to do
so.
One marcher carried a sign proclaiming, "Life Goes On?"
"The shocking callousness of New Orleans' gay activists towards the
severe suffering of its fellow citizens cannot be adequately
articulated in a news report," says James Hartline, a former
homosexual, who describes the "Southern Decadence" festival as being
"replete with tens of thousands of men and women engaged in public
nudity, prostitution, illegal drug use and destructive public S & M
sex."
"The idea that human beings are continuing to party while hundreds of
thousands of fellow citizens are starving, dying and suffering from a
multitude of sicknesses brings into focus the real lack of judgment
that these constant advocates of special gay rights demonstrate in a
time of crisis."
According to Agape Press, Hartine himself has AIDS and is now warning
homosexuals about the consequences of their lifestyle.
As WorldNetDaily previously reported, Hurricane Katrina walloped New
Orleans just two days before the annual homosexual "Southern Decadence"
festival was to begin in the town, an act characterized by some as
God's work.
The event has been slated to go on tomorrow in the nearby town of
Lafayette, La., featuring "Floatin' Floozies," according to the event's
website.
As writer John d'Addario explained in "Southern Decadence 2005: A
How-To Guide" posted on FrenchQuarter.com:
Parades and non-stop parties aside, Southern Decadence may be most
famous (or infamous) for the displays of naked flesh which characterize
the event - which is only fitting, since New Orleans in early
September is generally the closest thing you'll ever experience to
walking around in a steambath outside of a health spa. While police
have started to crack down on public lewdness and pressure from a local
crackpot conservative religious organization has caused the five-day
festival to become a little more sedate than it was in years past, the
atmosphere of Southern Decadence has stayed true to its name and public
displays of sexuality are pretty much everywhere you look. The event
has been endorsed by Mayor Ray Nagin, who promoted the activities in a
letter stating: "There is no place like this on Earth! Southern
Decadence XXXII is an exciting event. We welcome you and know that you
can anticipate great food, great music and great times in New Orleans."

Gee Rob, for someone who detests homosexuals so much, you sure seem to
have them on your mind a lot. Is there something you'd like to tell the
group, buttercup?

Good for them! They're celebrating life and the fact that they survived,
Instead of bitching about it, why not do something to help the
survivors? Donate a few bucks to the ARC or some other organization.

You mean you're pissed they're not all dead. You people like other people
dying and suffering. You cheered Katrina on. You hate that New Orleanians
are still standing, going to rebuild, and have even *bigger Mardi Gras and
*bigger Decadence than ever before...

How wonderful that they refuse to be defeated.
It takes a truly sick person to try to twist this into hatred - hence rob's
posting it.
Oh, and, stay killfiled, loser.

One of MANY excellent stories of how the human spirit can prevail,
undaunted, in the face of awful adversity.
GOOD for them!!!
(Thanks for reporting some *good* and *heartening* news in the
midst of what usually consists only of sociopathic hate-spam from you,
Rob. Since even a broken clock is right twice a day, I guess that
was bound to happen sooner or later.)

Some situations are so tragic that the only possible way to cope is to
laugh. Or, as in this case, continue on with already advanced plans to hold
a celebration. It is not callousness or insensitivity to tragedy; it is a
way not to break down in to a crying jag.

Isn't it odd that all the way through World War II people celebrated
Christmas, birthdays etc., yet nobody claimed that it was in bad
taste.

Rob Wade the phobic posting bot and closet homo is just pissed that the
predominantly gay French Quarter suffered the least damage!
