00:01:04.020 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.320 This is the 77
00:01:07.160 WABC Minicast. 1.00
00:01:10.520 The city's gay. 1.00
00:01:11.980 It's all gay today. This was 1.00
00:01:13.660 gay day. 1.00
00:01:15.580 Yet another pride 0.99
00:01:17.640 thing.
00:01:19.660 It seems like it's a year-round thing,
00:01:21.600 isn't it? Gay people 1.00
00:01:23.340 love being um recognized but then don't recognize them for being gay but then they want you to 0.51
00:01:30.740 recognize them for being oh i don't even know what's going on anymore but uh yeah it was very
00:01:36.040 gay in the city uh the past couple of days i've been here i saw a bunch of guys they were dressed 0.55
00:01:43.140 up like oompa loompas i'm assuming it's for the gay thing they were just like oompa loompas and 0.95
00:01:49.300 there were a bunch of uh people dressed up like minion walking around i don't even know what this
00:01:54.600 is i assume it has to be something to do with the gay festivities june is gay pride month um
00:02:03.840 and they just used to call it the gay parade as far as i remember when i was a kid and everything
00:02:11.080 they called uh the new york city uh pride parade what's called now the gay parade but now it's
00:02:18.520 pride because proud because i don't know what it is i'd like to think i could throw a girl a good
00:02:29.440 one uh or at least i used to be able to but the idea of of wanting to flaunt that and be proud of
00:02:39.220 it is silly it is just silly uh it it fit a lot well fit it it was a lot more uh descriptive when 0.59
00:02:48.940 it was just called the gay parade there's men walking around in g-strings if if that at all 0.97
00:02:56.340 and uh there there there are children lining the streets of this parade
00:03:02.160 and it's called pride, like to be proud of something.
00:03:09.180 So if I accomplished something really cool,
00:03:12.580 could I just join in because I'm proud of an invention I came up with
00:03:16.780 or a song or something? 1.00
00:03:19.540 Oh, I can't because it's the gay parade. 0.98
00:03:23.040 It has nothing to do with pride.
00:03:25.900 It's just they tested the word gay and it didn't test as well as pride.
00:03:32.160 So they just keep changing things to try to make it more palatable for the people out there that maybe they don't like gays.
00:03:44.120 I don't know why.
00:03:45.900 I mean, you know, for the most part, gay people, you don't even notice them. 1.00
00:03:49.520 And that's the way it should be. 0.89
00:03:50.660 I think that's what most gay people were trying to go for, just being a person who liked the people that were the same sex as they were.
00:04:04.940 And they lived their lives.
00:04:06.760 You don't have to know about it. 0.61
00:04:08.880 You don't know what goes on in your heterosexual neighbor's bedrooms. 0.66
00:04:13.640 Do you? 0.98
00:04:14.440 I hope not.
00:04:15.860 But you're peeking in the windows. 1.00
00:04:17.000 But for some reason, but for some reason, gay people, they feel this need to be like, yes, we have this type of sex and we're very proud of it. 0.95
00:04:32.900 There's a whole month where we tell you how proud we are of it.
00:04:37.760 And then there's a day where we parade down the street and tell you how proud you are of it. 0.99
00:04:44.800 And maybe I'm a little naive, but I would like to believe that the vast majority of gay people hate this. 0.98
00:04:52.740 They just hate it.
00:04:54.040 I think it's with a lot of activism. 0.58
00:04:56.280 Like, I think a lot of black people don't like Black Lives Matter. 0.97
00:04:59.740 And I think a lot of gay people don't like pride, this nonsense. 0.95
00:05:04.780 Because it's directly against the idea that you just want to be treated like everyone else. 0.89
00:05:12.000 You go to your job, you buy a house, you pay your taxes, whatever it is. 1.00
00:05:17.960 But for some reason, it's got to be flamboyant and just gay. 1.00
00:05:29.020 The whole gay thing. 1.00
00:05:31.640 And it's embarrassing, I think. 1.00
00:05:33.340 I think a lot of people are embarrassed by it. 0.64
00:05:36.080 A lot of gay people, they just look and see, you know, again, 1.00
00:05:39.600 Do you really need the five guys marching down the street with their asses hanging out, just being over the top gay and proud that you have sex a certain way? 1.00
00:05:58.660 Because that's really all there is. 1.00
00:06:00.360 If there's a difference, if you really want to find the difference between gay people 0.91
00:06:08.260 and hetero people, the only difference would be that they have sex in a very different 0.98
00:06:16.260 way than heterosexual people.
00:06:19.460 And everything else is supposed to be the same.
00:06:23.500 That's kind of the selling point. 0.95
00:06:25.940 Oh, why are you so homophobic?
00:06:29.760 We just want to lead our lives and do this. 0.99
00:06:32.420 Oh, but when we get in the bedroom, we have this crazy way of having sex.
00:06:40.960 It's the only difference.
00:06:42.560 But I swear to you, we want to let you know that that is the big difference.
00:06:46.940 And that's what we do. 0.59
00:06:48.240 And this is how we have sex. 0.99
00:06:50.200 And it's ridiculous. 1.00
00:06:51.780 It's just silly. 0.99
00:06:52.920 And we've been forced into celebrating this. 0.89
00:06:59.020 Remember when it was just tolerance?
00:07:01.640 We want tolerance.
00:07:03.300 We want a tolerant people.
00:07:05.840 And tolerance obviously means to tolerate.
00:07:10.100 You're not there with cheerleader pom-poms, you know, yay, this is great.
00:07:16.260 Literally tolerating something.
00:07:18.380 You could hate something.
00:07:20.500 But if you tolerate it, you're just like, all right, I'll tolerate that.
00:07:25.380 I'll put up with it. 0.99
00:07:26.280 And then when people started tolerating the whole gimmick of what gay people were parading about and the pride thing, that wasn't enough. 0.97
00:07:40.640 Then it became, you have to celebrate it. 0.96
00:07:45.120 And then once you drag religion into the whole thing, oof, ah, is that a mess?
00:07:51.280 because obviously there are people that are from the school of thought
00:07:55.280 that when they pick up a Bible and read it, 0.88
00:07:58.640 it says horrible things about gay people and what they want done to gay people 0.95
00:08:02.500 and, you know, plenty of religions. 0.99
00:08:04.820 Obviously, we've heard what goes on in some of these Islamic countries. 0.98
00:08:09.180 Whenever a gay person thinks the United States is the worst place to live 0.99
00:08:13.120 and so homophobic and, you know, gay people are dying, trans people, 0.99
00:08:17.760 how many have lost their lives this year? 0.98
00:08:19.580 you're parading down one of the busiest streets in the busiest city in the world and you're allowed
00:08:28.080 to do it and it's celebrated uh i don't know seems like a pretty good deal when then you look at
00:08:35.120 islamic nations and well we all know about the uh the old tour of the the rooftop bar that they uh
00:08:42.800 they have there so i don't know it seems like you got a pretty good thing going kind of back
00:08:49.700 off a little bit because the the whole idea that uh there are certain rights that aren't being
00:08:57.420 given to gay people uh and are being given to other heterosexual citizens of the united states 0.96
00:09:06.880 is insane i defy you to find one thing that uh gay people cannot do uh you you'd be very uh very 0.96
00:09:17.160 hard pressed to uh to find that a safer ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my 0.96
00:09:24.080 card doesn't get stolen it means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars and it means
00:09:29.780 there's no need to worry when i play at the park we're making every corner of ontario safer to make
00:09:35.400 all of Ontario safer.
