JUST HOW SICK IS SPARTANBURG S.C THIS IS AN ABOMINATION IN GOD'S EYES

smallest gay pride parade ever, but the biggest balls here.

About science- I never heard of anyone conceiving in anus or mouth.So, there are some natural -God given organs for both childbearing and sex. Set aside that it is sinful- it's simply unnatural.

[Glendale41]

Good for Greenville Spartanburg. I hope you have your parade every year, and I hope it gets bigger with each passing year. And for all you biggots with your big mouths or your hateful signs. Cross my path and you won't get up.

[akraus1221]

[vatlom]

Hey gays! What are You proud of? Wicked minded, You lead the country to a disaster! Haven't You learned from Sodom?

[SC1337]

@vatlom haha just another superstitious religious zealot , go read a science book

[CrownClownxx]

@vatlom Personally, I'm proud of my artistic skills and wonderful family-- as well as the fact I have a particularly sharp mind and DAZZLING personality.

You can respect what this nation was founded on and for (i.e. empty promises, genocide, lies). but you do not have to give specific demographics a headache for that.

[MrStruts1]

pretty sad they would only make one side leave, this is our future of America what a great Nation of equality for everyone but those with values, and respect for what this Nation was founded on and for

[maulhoik]

Wow! I can't believe they did this in that fundamentalist, racist town. I go once every few years to visit family. Talk about backwater! This shows promise.

[muhlissazombie]

@maulhoik hey now, i live in spartanburg and i wouldn't call everyone racist!! im far from racist

[RonnWinter1]

Meanwhile a local preacher is awaiting trial for preaching on the side of the street.

Fairness & Equality for everyone!

[Berzerkerevl]

oh no gay people! hide your children

[warningsofwrath]

The police seem to be a little up tight. All homos had better repent while they can, if they can. warnings of wrath .com

[totallynotstr8]

wow! i can't wait till i get to college. i'm planning on going to converse and i can't wait to participate in the march! ^O^

[xMiyaoMicksx]

Does anyone know when the next one will be? If so, please contact me. I miss it this year and I won't be missing it again.

[USAsleep]

I am from Atlanta Ga, so being here in spartanburg has been quite a culture shock. I found myself going into the closet, a place I have never been before.....thank you for a great video!

[xMiyaoMicksx]

@USAsleep I'm from Macon, GA and am now living in Spartanburg. Macon was a different kind of homophobe though. The ghetto kind, not the redneck kind. Lol.

[meanie555]

I'm not gey but I live in spartanburg and those protestors just dnt understand EVERYONE IS CREATED EQUAL!

[kilgoda]

WOW, the South is becoming liberal and open minded. That is wonderful!

[worsh1p]

@kilgoda No they're not...Trust me

[dp2446]

It was wonderful that day. The thing that amazed me most was how hateful the protesters were. Also the feeling of love, acceptance, community, and family among the marchers.

[eruppe8342]

for once i'm not ashamed that i'm from Spartanburg!!!!!! YAY GAY COMMUNITY IN SPARTANBURG MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!!! WE'RE QUEER AND HERE TO STAY

[sc6chuck9]

LOL, why do you think anyone calls it QUEER? Because it is !!!!!!!!

[eruppe8342]

yeah it is queer. you're not hurting anyone's feelings you stupid closeted fudge-packin fag

[sc6chuck9]

No packin here as I'm not queer. I did it the way GOD intended us to do, I married a WOMEN. There is no argument here, it's simple math, 1 plus1 is still 2 and SHE and I can make another Queer's can't. Being Queer is nothing but a self satisfying way of getting attention. I don't have to call you names because you do it for me by telling what you are and that's not normal it's QUEER!!!!!!!!!

[LawdHelp]

If you've never been to Spartanburg, SC, it is a place of well-meaning, but ignorant and intolerant religious communities.

It takes courage to be queer in a place like this.

[Xpaigey0]

dha burggg's steppin uppp :)

[rainbowheartgirl]

Cool video! I didn't know they had a pride parade in Spartanburg. I'm in San Francisco; ours is much bigger, so it's nice to see one from a smaller town/city. It's a shame you guys had protestors, though! When will people ever learn to mind their own business?

[sc6chuck9]

It's our town they are doing this in so it is our business!!!!!!!

[rainbowheartgirl]

Chuck, um, so what's the big deal? What's wrong with your town having a pride parade? You don't *own* the town. The town's for everybody. There are gay people in your town. If they want to celebrate, then let them celebrate. Not everyone in the world has to be alike. I'm sure you've got different races and religions and political parties in your town. What's wrong with diversity? If Muslims want to have a holiday celebration, are you going to protest them too?

[sc6chuck9]

How sad to see I'm having to reply about not believing in QUEERDOM. I feel very sorry for you hun as you didn't ask for your father to be one of those that needs the attention that being queer gets him, very sorry to hear that.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Chuck, queerdom? Is that a word? lol. Seriously, you don't even know me. You don't know my parents. You think my parents are gay because they want "attention?" Um, I highly doubt it. They live regular private lives and do their daily routine, just like straight couples in their 50s do. I have no idea why you feel sorry for me, but I am *blessed* to have had a wonderful and loving family, and I wouldn't trade them in for the world.

[xMiyaoMicksx]

@sc6chuck9 Do you live in Spartanburg? Cause I will personally kick your stupid ass.

[sc6chuck9]

LOL, as a matter of fact I do live in Spartanburg County. As far as you "personally kicking my stupid ass." goes, I want you to name the place and I'll bring my "ass" with me. However I must warn you. You will not find it a loose fit as it has only been used for one thing, the thing GOD made it for you see. And you called me "Stupid",,,lol,,, Looking forward to adjusting your attitude.

[xMiyaoMicksx]

@sc6chuck9 I call you stupid because you ARE. You are a close-minded bigot piece of shit who needs to get up with the century. You are of lesser intelligence than most people of my generation and it's about time that you just die. I don't have an attitude problem, I'm perfectly fine, thanks. Haha PM me and maybe we'll figure something out, asshole.
