Not surprising, but sad nonetheless. The New York City Mayor's office has officially cancelled this year's Village Halloween Parade.

We’d hoped progress was being made in Anoka, Minnesota, the site of a rash of suicides among gay youth, but a move on the part of the Anoka Halloween Festival Committee definitely isn’t sending  a message of inclusion.

The festival committee has denied a request to allow Justin’s Gift, an anti-bullying youth group formed in memory of Justin Aaberg (a teen who took his own life), to march in the group’s popular parade on Oct. 27. The festival committee has also refused to answer community questions regarding its decision to deny Justin’s Gift members a spot in the parade.

Rebecca Krone, an Anoka mom, is leading a campaign on Change.org to allow Justin’s Gift to participate.

This video is making the interweb rounds today. Apparently this street preacher saw fit to erect a pulpit and spread the alleged "word of God" during LA's Gay Pride parade.

His sage advice? "Stop eating your poo poo!"

Watch as he instructs us, ever-so-lovingly, to take Jesus into our hearts (like him, clearly) after the jump.

The Russian courts certainly seem intent upon raining on our gay parade.

Moscow city court has apparently upheld a goverment decision to turn down LGBT activists’ request for permission to hold gay pride parades for the next 100 years!
