-
- No, I saw some clips that could not have been shown on the local
- news -- the men masturbating on top of floats, naked men whipping
- other naked men, NAMBLA, etc.
-
- Local TV news gives the best possible coverage (for gays) of this
- parade. They don't show the depraved crap that is going on.

- # #Why? You don't deny that NAMBLA marches. Gay Perot supporters,

- #
- # And I saw what happened when the NAMBLA contingent marched by.
- # They were booed.

- # They were only a couple of people in the hundreds that

-
- The parade usually has thousands of participants, not hundreds.
- The tape I saw of the 1990 parade had at least a dozen people
- just holding up the NAMBLA banner. No one was throwing anything
- at them or booing them in 1990. Why suddenly, in 1992? Sudden
- realization that NAMBLA was bad PR?
-
- You still haven't answered the question: why were the Gay
- Perotistas not permitted, but NAMBLA was in 1992?
