    Basabe’s lawsuit accuses parade organizers of violating his First Amendment rights to free speech

    Oh look, another dumbass, asshole republican who doesn’t understand the first amendment but won’t let the stop him from being a complete douche.

      They always seem to forget freedom of association is included in the first amendment, and that includes the right to tell Someone you don’t like them and don’t want to be around them

    Let him participate, and carry large sings around him, pointing to him and telling the public the truth about this person.

    He can participate all he wants, they just don’t have to give him his his own float…

    Like, imagine the shit show every parade would be if anyone that wanted to got a float.

    The Macy’s day parade would be going on till new year’s

        I know the first Mad Max is considered a prequel because there’s some semblance of society left…

        But goddamn, I would love it for this to be the origin of their society. Like one year it reaches critical mass and a major parade is still going when the next is scheduled to start.

        And the only way to replace one is to destroy the ongoing one thru combat

        We go thru generations of the Parade Wars, with shit becoming so all consuming that it’s the only thing that survived. The instinctual compulsion to ridiculous performative vehicles that actually move incredibly slowly when you think about it.

          I could see how the whole “witness me!” thing originated more civilly, with the requirement being two unrelated witnesses and a notary on float application paperwork.

    I mean, the organization is just trying to make sure he doesn’t say gay. Wouldn’t want a republican to break the law.

    Seems to be missing from the thread (only last name mentioned at time of post):

    Mr Tiny Dick is Fabián Basabe. I heard he kisses men. Ok, that last part isn’t true. But I hope it’s an intrusive thought.

      I saw something on Facebook that I wish I could find. It was a tweet by a guy that said bisexuality was only when you had sex with both genders, it couldn’t be attraction to both genders because then everybody would be bisexual.

      Nobody wanted to tell him.

      I did hear he kisses men. And that’s true. Technically, I heard it from you, but I still truly heard it. Besides, if your name is Tiny Dick Fabián, why wouldn’t you?

        I’m not saying it’s wrong if Fabián Basabe ®, (allegedly better known as the ‘funnel-cake’, and ‘sea-men fairy’ to his alleged, countless, male romantic partners) likes to save dinner till after sex. That’s between him and the many men in his life to decide.

        And who are we to judge if he prefers body-building men who can carry him to bed and who can appreciate his wispy pillow-talk.

        I’m happy he gets to have these things in his life

      If someone was accused of sexism would you say “heard he kisses women”. Like this whole thing of joking about homophobic people being gay, at what point is it a little homophobic itself. Like all the cartoons depicting Trump as doing “stuff” with Putin

        You’re right. It could be read as a touch homophobic. But I only say it because I know he’d dislike it, not because I think there’s anything wrong with kissing men or sucking dick or eating ass. I make jokes about me sucking dick to disparage conservatives and I don’t even suck dick. Still, maybe I’ll retire that line of attack.
