i myself wouldn't argue its bigoted. its just holding a different opinion then others. its what makes the world go round.
no need to insult peoples religious beliefs. (i'm referring to your post about st paddy) some catholics truly hold allot of reverence for st paddy.
to many catholics its really not about going out gettin wasted and bangin chicks. though really now adays thats certainly the main motivation.
but some actually try to follow their religion
which i respect.
that said.
i'm not a catholic, (i was raised one though), and to me the best thing in cases like this is
the less hostility on both sides the better.
as for the parade, having gays in it its a good thing.
