TYT: Straight Pride Parade Fails Miserably

[WhoIsNumberNone]

A gentleman in Seattle recently decided he’d had enough of gay pride parades, so he tried to set up a heterosexual pride parade. Needless to say it did not go well. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Heterosexuals apparently weren't too prideful this weekend.

Blogger Anthony Rebello was the organizer behind the Heterosexual Parade at Seattle's Capitol Hill on Saturday. Over 2,000 people were invited on Facebook to attend the event created "in the name of equality [and] equal rights ... to celebrate our right to be heterosexual, and to encourage younger heterosexuals that they should be proud of their heterosexuality."

While 169 responded "yes" to the event, just one person showed up, according to Seattle Gay Scene: Rebello. Photos of him marching with balloons and a cardboard sign reading "Straight Pride" were posted on Facebook over the weekend.”*

4. This does have a comedic slant to it, but....

it's really just another particle of evidence that stupidity is alive and well in our species. Our species is cursed with a large and reasoning brain. That would be totally great were it not for the fact that some of us have DNA mishaps that ultimately result in "reasoning" such as this Rube exhibits. The crapshoot of conception is really a cruel gamble. Let's hope the emerging gene repair techniques afford future generations the ability to avoid such oopsies.

But here's another (and very serious) point of wonder that the above paragraph just brought to mind....... IF genetic medicine were available to any and all planned conceptions - if testing showed you were going to give birth to a homosexual without gene therapy - would you opt to insure your offspring would be straight???
