There is a gay pride parade on saturday that I would like to protest without getting arrested. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do it?

I was definitely going to get a shirt, but it just doesn't seem like enough. They get a whole week to make a point, and I feel as though I need to do more. I wanted to make signs that say something along the lines of "Its not hatred, its decency" but I really don't want to get into trouble, and around here, its hard not to get arrested. I can just see myself being charged with something as stupid as resisting without violence for just being there. There have to be other people protesting, right? It just doesn't seem right to me that these people get a week for something that most people don't even agree with, yet if I utter one word in opposition, I am suddenly a biggot. Its amazing how embracing and open-minded the homosexual society is, until someone who disagrees is around...

I’ve sat here passively reading your posts over the past few years, enjoying the alternate perspective on various issues, even though I’ve never agreed with anything you’ve said. I will continue to think that you have every right to believe what you want, but this post is simply unacceptable, and I can no longer be friends with you. Please remove me from your friends list and never, ever talk to me again. Thank you.

I honestly cannot believe you actually said that to me after all of these years of being friends. I do not understand why my being politically active would lead you to dislike me, but I suppose if that is the way you truly feel, then we were never really friends in the first place. I have put up with your lesbian-ish posts over the past few years and have never complained, because I was under the impression that we were friends, regardless of the time that has passed and your apparent change of lifestyle. I am not sure if perhaps your friends have influenced you into deciding to stop being my friend, and if that is the case, then you are in need of a new group of friends. If that is not the case, then you are a truly ridiculous person for your decision in this instance. Friendships should be able to last through disagreements, but apparently some of us have matured while others are still stuck back in the 7th grade "I dont agree with you so we arent friends anymore" mode. Let me know if you change your mind and decide to be an adult

I do not understand why my being politically active would lead you to dislike meI don’t recall saying anything in my comment that even remotely alluded to disliking you for “being politically active.” In fact, I qualified my entire statement with the fact that I feel you have every right to believe what you want to believe and say what you say, regardless of my feelings on the subject. What I was actually referring to was your blatantly homophobic attitude (which, again, you can have and I don’t care-but I also don’t have to read it, which is why I’ve chosen to unsubscribe from your journal

Something seems to get lost in the translation of online posts, as I did not mean to sound condescending towards you. My reply was not meant to be a personal attack, but rather a question as to why you are "defriending" me over a disagreement. Why we cannot agree to disagree is well beyond me. You assume that I am protesting the parade solely because I dislike the homosexual lifestyle, when in fact, I am protesting for many more reasons. I do not believe it is right for homosexuals to have a whole week and a parade to flaunt their sexuality. I do not believe it is decent for any group, whether straight, gay, or anything else to do so. I do not believe it is right for homosexuals to have a whole week and a parade while there is only one day for blind people, who happen to get missed, as their day is right in the middle of gay week. You define me as homophobic, which I find ridiculous, as I am not afraid of nor do I hate homosexuals. While you may not realiz it, one can choose to disagree with a certain stance without being hateful.
