Heterosexual Pride to be celebrated in New York
 A Straight Pride Parade will roll out on August 31, 2008 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, just one day ahead of the annual Caribbean Labor Day Parade.
In a press release sent out recently by members of the reggae community, who have organized this event as a response to gay groups coming down hard on some dancehall music; the parade was justified as being, "...a chance for Heterosexuals to gather together and proudly embrace their sexuality. The Parade will also allow reggae and dancehall fans who are in New York City for the Labor Day celebrations to get together and celebrate reggae, dancehall and family in love and unity. Adults are encouraged to bring their children along for the celebrations, as the event will be family oriented."
Not only have gay groups launched massive global advocacies against what they call reggae's long history of gay intolerance, they have also been successful in hitting artists hard, in the pocket, by pushing for show cancellations. Their aim is reportedly to stop reggae and dancehall artists from promoting anti-gay violence, harassment and bigotry through lyrics.
The release said further: "Gay friends and gay relatives must be left at home or worse kept in the closet."

I would not miss this for the world. Bringing the children also. We have as much rights as the Homosexual and or Gay community to express our Heterosexualness. We need more of these events in every city and country in the World, and then perhaps the gays will get the message. We run tings unnu no run we.

Its about time we use our intelligence to denounce those that are against us. They have their pride..we have ours....STRAIGHT PRIDE DAY! SELL OFFF!!
Unbelievable! It never ever fails to disgust me how we can be so misguided and downright idiotic about how we do things. Our people are dying like flies, going hungry and homeless, our children are having the life sucked out of them by violent, filthy neighborhoods and crappy schools, our hospitals are more likely to kill us than heal us, our grocery stores sell us expired food, etc. etc. and you are going to march in support of "heterosexuality"?!!
This is definitely for those not-so-smart people who don't know what to believe in or fight for. Pathetic.

I think Peter Tatchell comment was nice, so I am posting it. I personally never decoded this interpretation of No Woman No Cry...
PETER TATCHELL'A small, self-selected group of reggae labels, promoters and artists have announced that they will hold a Straight Pride Parade in New York on 31 August 2008, in defence of homophobia and anti-gay lyrics that incite violence against lesbian and gay people:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/07/prweb1077774.htm
Commenting on the planned Straight Pride, gay human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, a spokesperson for OutRage! and the Stop Murder Music campaign, said:
"The US is a free country. Let them have their misnamed Straight Pride Parade. They say it is a celebration of heterosexuality, but really it’s a promotion of straight supremacism. Their parade is driven by a homophobic agenda. They defend artists who incite hatred and violence against LGBT people.
In their news release, the organisers promote a song by the singer Stapler called “Hit Them Hard,” which openly advocates violence against gay men.
“They falsely claim that the Stop Murder Music campaign is an attack on reggae music. Nonsense. It is an attack on a small number of reggae singers who have perverted reggae's message of peace, love and justice. They have betrayed the liberation ideals of the reggae pioneers and are hijacking the genre to turn it into an anthem of homophobic hatred and violence. They are encouraging civil war in the black community. They want black straight people to kill black lesbians and gay men.
“These idiots don't realise that one of Bob Marley's most famous songs contains lyrics that send a coded message of support to black gay men. It's called 'No woman no cry.' It was very popular in gay clubs when it was first released and it still gets played today. Some gay men sing along and add the words that Marley dared not himself say: 'No woman no cry…when you got gay guy,'" said Mr Tatchell.

Oh, just stay out of the gay man's way. I've heard that they didn't ask to be that way. Well, only they would be able to understand that. Just treat them as another person out there and assume nothing about their orientation, unless you are interested in doing something with them in bed. I support straight pride, but also support a gay man or woman having his say and respecting his or her space

You might as well call this an anti-gay parade! The reason homosexual people need a parade is because society is so oppressive than many of them are too afraid that they're going to be beat up and mocked for the rest of their life. Why the hell do you people care about THEIR sex lives? It doesn't concern anyone in the slightest! Celebrate your sexuality, but don't mock other people's.
