Most of Minnesota has not abandoned the basic value of tolerance. There are sections in the state that seem to be full of people that don’t accept you if you are not pure WASP. The Anoka area and into parts of mid-central Minnesota are that way. The Anoka-Hennepin area is also where Michele Bachmann’s district is. This area has long had people who want to make sure that the school district only supports the values of the religious right. Change is coming, but alas it is slow in that area.

Truthfully, parades do get full. The Chicago lLGBT Pride Parade had to limit the number of entries this year to keep it to a manageable length and it’s a common practice in big city parades. But I doubt this is the case here.

In order to change the minds of my oft bigoted Anoka neighbors, we need to be public. They need to see our faces and hear our voices. Please sign this petition, especially any of you MN readers.

I am re-tweeting plus I made my own tweet also. This is OUTRAGEOUS!!! Are we going to let our LGBT youth fend for themselves OR are we going to help them?

When did MN abandon basic American values of tolerance? Many of us are tired of right-wing theocracy and hatemongering.
