Get ready, Prattville!
This year, we’re bringing the magic of *Rainbow Stars and Open Hearts* to the city’s Christmas Parade, and we want YOU to be a part of it
Now for its modern counterpart.
The small town of Prattville in the US is in the sights of a drag queen activist. Okay let me fill in a few details. The rapt attention of the LGBTQI+ is on the Annual Christmas Parade in the state of Alabama.
We hear that they on a fund raising drive to provide transgender gear to children who turn up on the day. This fund raiser will run all the way through to the end of December.
How do chest binders and compression underwear sound; anyone? Though they say this is for anyone 13 years and older.
This parade is a tradition in the town. It is marked on the calendar as the main bill to kick off the holiday season.
This is why this queer-bloc plans to go boldly into the public square.
And their slogan?
“WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE OUR PARADE FLOAT THE GAYEST AND MERRIEST EVER!
Bear in mind this is a conservative town in the Bible belt.
This was the start. Prattville held its first gay pride event this year so it all flowed from there.
The city council allowed this Christmas parade to take place; even though it was opposed. This was as they were afraid of a legal battle.
Will this be coming to a town near you?
Yes unless you know how they operate it will.
Now let’s take a step back for a moment and look at a bit of interesting piece of history that you might not know. Guess who owned the Greenwich Village bar Stonewall Inn at the time of the Stonewall riots. Why it was owned, and run, by the New York Mafia. In fact they owned the majority of the guy bars and clubs throughout the late sixties.
The blackmail of its wealthy clientele over the homosexual issue was rife. Pay up or we will out you was the line.
It worked the other way too. Bars of this kind would not have existed without the mafia.
Of course the mafia also bribed the police to turn a blind eye to the goings on at these places.
Funny how this is never aired. It is not the context they looking for I guess.
Then there is religion.
This year both Resurrection Sunday and Christmas are in the crosshairs of this type of activism.
How is it legal that they able to hijack this parade folks ask?
Those versed in the law say as this is a public funded event in the public arena anyone can play a role.
So what if it is not in the character of the occasion.
Then it is the duty of the organizers to set out the rules for those who take part. Like no pride floats, or parades within a parade. Strictly stick to the theme.
And if it is not there in black and white then you do not have a case.
Who’d have thought there would come a time such as this when it would be necessary.
Yet it is.
