yguy,

Would you please answer Calzaer's most recent post?

If your purpose of this thread is not to show a link between pedophilia and homosexuality, then what is the purpose of this thread? What did you intend when you started it? What are the exact premises/conclusions of your argument? The only one who seems to know these answers is you.

Thank you, Helen - at least someone understands what I'm getting at!

Indeed, it is a good possibility that they crash the parade with the acquiesence of the law. Reminds me of when "gay" activists insisted on being included in the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade. What goes around comes around, I guess.

I'll bet if you emailed them with a query regarding that they'd be willing to explain why they allowed the entry.
I don't see why I should be the one to do that.

I couldn't find a list of entries for the NYC march on their official website (www.nycpride.org), I'm afraid...so I'll have to take the columnist's word for it.
If you lived in NYC, and you were able to verify that indeed NAMBLA was to be allowed in the march, what would you do?

If you are claiming you don't understand what I say, how does distorting what I say aid in your quest to understand?

For about the dozenth time, I wanted homosexual rights advocates to draw a clear line between themselves and advocates/apologists for pedophilila.

Look, if I were a Jerry Falwell supporter, and he came out and said homosexuals should all be lynched, what would you think of me if I had no comment?

I wouldn't think anything. Just because someone doesn't say anything, doesn't mean they agree. You seem to be the only one here that thinks that silence means agreement.

I have never made a post anywhere on Infidels stating, "MURDER IS WRONG! IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!" Does that mean that I think that murder is right?

And the "homosexual rights advocates" on this thread did exactly as you asked: we expressed disgust towards pedophilia. The only person I see here who is possibly presenting a different opinion is Fr. Andrew, and like I said previously, it seems like you have issues with him no matter what he says.

If you wanted "homosexual advocates" to cry foul on the subject of pedophilia, why did you not simply start the thread out by asking for it? You could have gotten your two-dozen "yes, pedophiles are vile!" posts, and then have been satisfied. Or you could have used the search function to seek out past discussions on the very same topic. Or you could have a moderator search for you, should you find the search function disabled. Or...

I'm curious as to why you say it is not your job to contact parade coordinators to ask why NAMBLA was allowed to enter a float. You are the one asking all the questions, you are the one with the problem. And yet you say that it is not your job to find an answer for your question?

Face it: NAMBLA is for gays as The Honourable Reverand Fred Phelps (God Hates Fags) is to theists. A fringe group that by no means represents the whole.

AFAIK, there have been no apologists for murder posting here.

I find it puzzling that so much energy is being expended to expose my alleged duplicity by people who would have every reason to distance themselves from Fr. Andrew, but have, at least in his recent thread, left him unmolested, you should excuse the expression.

"The" Parade? There are thousands of parades. NAMBLA hasn't marched in any of the ones in Southern California: Long Beach, Christopher Street West, San Diego.... Never have.

I saw supporters of abortion clinic bombers marching in a Christian-sponsored anti-gay protest once, however. The actions of your christian brethren don't reflect well on you, yguy, even though I know you had no idea who they were or what their plans were. But I didn't see you out there repudiating them so I must assume you support the murder of doctors.
