You just signed up and 100% of your posts are in this thread so, no you're not.

Maybe I've become enlightened but I didn't even blink when I saw it today.

Just doesn't concern me in anyway

I was just pointing out something in Dan02's post. It seems to be a sentiment shared in the GL community.

For the record I don't care if the flames are marching in the pride parade, nor am I homophobe.

If your view is that the flames should not participate for x reason. You are likely a homophobe. Because you can't really come up with a non homophobic reason that the flames shouldn't be participating in a large community festival.

If you truly don't care that's fine but the I'm not a homophobe but the flames should stick to hockey comments are homophobic.

I support gay people, not such a fan of the groupthink and vitriol that goes along with the movement. The get in line or shut the f up mentality is the way of tyrants.

Flames can do whatever they want, but so can the posters in here. Saying the Flames should stick to hockey is hardly homophobic, not that I agree with the sentiment. But still, throwing around the word homophobe at every given opportunity is a little witch hunty for my tastes.

That's not a very tolerant view.

First time poster, long time lurker.

I prefer to read about hockey on this forum, not beaten to death social issues. I was bored so I opened the thread, it probably would be better off in the off topic forum IMO.

I think there is more of a grey area to this issue then what you are stating. What if you just don't care either way and are tired of hearing about this played out issue?

Don't concentrate 100% of your posts in a thread about it?

I think its great that the flames are supporting this as an organization. And as long as players arent being pressured or forced to drive a bus in the parade its win-win.

Bored so you opened the thread, eh. And then so, so bored you decided to sign up and post exclusively in here. Yeah ok. "why am i not allowed to have a dissenting opinion?". Because society doesn't have to be tolerant of your intolerant opinion that supports continuing inequality and discrimination towards a minority group.

And for the record I think the Flames participating in Pride is great. I'll be heading down with my family too. It's a fun event.

So can someone just ban this poster now? I mean, it's probably inevitable. Might as well get it over with.

Any of the threads here on Calpuck can be opened or not. If I prefer reading about something else, I don't open the thread.

So what is the "x" reason that the flames shouldn't participate that isn't homophobic?

Yeah same here.....will be great when it is just normal sauce for everyone.

[FlamesAddiction]

I think it's great. In fact, I would like to see more players participate.

The LGBT community is susceptible to harassment, bullying, and is still fighting for equality in many areas. The more high profile proud supporters there are, the better.

I think with sports especially since many of them have a history of having homophobic atmospheres, the athletes probably have a lot of influence on the young people still growing into their skin.

Stick to hockey is coded language though.

Because I assume the same people would have no problem with the flames coming out for the stampede parade.

Or any other community involvement like the flames foundation. It's only this community involvement that they should stick to hockey

This sounds like you're complaining about intolerance of intolerance. Sounds pretty stupid.
