Whatever Happened to Unity in America ? We Once Had it , but some Evil People Want to take it Away . Live and Let Live . A Noble Ideal IMO .
It's not Brad Pitt, it's Milo Yiannopoulos. EIther this is comedy or it's an obvious gay pride false flag operation.

But...why on earth do asexual people need a parade ? I wasnt aware they have issues ? Are they being attacked, beaten ?
what a world...
I think the greater point -- both now with this Straight Pride parade and with the original Gay Pride parades -- is to say that no one should be shamed or lessened for their sexuality.
I'm happy to let consenting adults do as they wish on their own time. I'm most bemused that so many people seem to think it's appropriate to wear one's sexuality on their sleeve...
I don't get it exactly. But from what I could gather, apparently the world is made for couples -- or at least lovers -- and the asexual are excluded.
It gets ridiculous more and more with every new letter they add to LGBQT...
Well -- excellent point -- and I guess in my head I consider those perversions, not sexuality.
But even as I type this, I'm rethinking this. And I guess I have been. Porn is not what it used to be. Sissy porn... rape porn... Abuse porn... I'm horrified by much of what I've been reading and I feel like we've given society -- and KIDS!!! -- a loaded gun with no firearms training. It's pretty darn scary.

I guess only gay folks can celebrate how they screw other people.
Or not apparently... I was very surprised to learn just recently that the asexual -- the voluntarily celibate -- is considered part of the LGBT. Under the "transgender umbrella."
How that works I have no idea!!!
Wait! You mean they let celibate Christians who voluntarily give up sex in order to be closer to God march in their Pride parades, especially if they also endorse the Biblical beliefs on sexuality and marriage?!
We need rules and boundaries...which are of course always a torn in many a sides...but to me, leaving it to "personal feelings" is far worse (which to me is evident in current times) ...I fear where it will all end in a hundred years.
UPDATE: It's not Brad Pitt, it's Milo Yiannopoulos. EIther this is comedy or it's an obvious gay pride false flag operation.
As the controversy from the parade's announcement spread on Thursday, Brad Pitt - who the men had named as their 'mascot' - denounced it.
His representatives contacted them asking for him to be removed from their site.
In response, they named Milo Yiannopoulos as his replacement.
But as they had their plans mocked online, details of their more sinister political links emerged. Sahady and Bartley are both part of Resist Marxism, a Conservative group founded by the infamous New Zealand activist Kyle Chapman in 2017.

I just pretty much made that case to another poster in my last reply!
I get it.
But at some point, we all need to start acting like adults, give everyone the proper respect and courtesy due a fellow human, and walk away from what we must/choose. In other words, live and let live. If folks aren't hurting anyone, leave them be.

Is Milo speaking or just the mascot? Again, this is still speculation until they formally announce it. I'm sorry I jumped the gun on it because now everyone thinks it's the truth. That's how fake news gets started for the record.
That's always been my way in life BUT come on, I am not discriminating against those that are different to me so why am I being discriminated against to favor them?, it makes absolutely no sense and I believe the whole concept of PRO discrimination is actually completely discriminatory.
