^ I agree it was really offensive to say.
Things are heated in both sides. Is this fair? : http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/lets-get-naked-this-pride-gay-editor-defends-nudity-at-torontos-family-frie
"Glenwright’s piece was a response to Toronto District School Board trustee Sam Sotiropoulos, whovoiced his concern earlier this month over children viewing illegal public nudity at the event.
Sotiropoulos created a firestorm on Twitter after asking Toronto Police if they would enforce Canadian law against public nudity at the Pride event. The trustee was called a ‘homophobic a**hole’ and an ‘outrageous bigot’ by homosexual zealots.
Under Canada’s Criminal Code it is illegal to be nude in a “public place.” Section 174 states that a person who is “so clad as to offend against public decency or order” is “guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.”
Glenwright’s piece also took a swing at Toronto Mayor Rob Ford who stated a principled opposition to attending the World Pride Parade hosted in Toronto this June.
“I’m not going to go to the Pride parade,” the Mayor told a candidates’ forum for the 2014 mayoral election earlier this month. Amidst catcalls, he continued: “I’ve never been to a Pride parade. I can’t change who I am.”
Glenwright argued that “homophobes” who are in leadership positions — such as Ford or Sotiropoulos — balk at nakedness “on a parade float” because it “triggers a primitive hatred” for “two men f**king.”
“It reminds them of what we do in the privacy of our bedrooms,” he wrote.
Glenwright ridiculed Sotiropoulos’ “concern for children” as a legitimate reason for opposing nakedness at the Pride parade.
“So let’s call it what it is and stop allowing these bigots and nudity-haters from masking their issues with concern for the wide-eyed children. And let’s remember that Pride is not the Santa Claus parade — its roots are in protest and sexual liberation.”
“Let’s get naked!” Glenwright concludes."
Is it fair to Sotiropoulos? He's saying something against a behavior, not against what someone is. Being naked in public is a behavior that people of any orientation can be arrested for. Is it a surprise that people accuse gay activists of not wanting to have a serious conversation when they get their opinion shut down by "homophobic a-hole bigot" remarks? It would make the most open minded person think these people are jerks.
