PrideFest Anticipates Protests At Annual Festival

Fest Supporter Says They Will Ignore National Socialist Movement's Actions

MILWAUKEE -- The 14th-annual PrideFest, which draws thousands of people each year to Milwaukee, gets under way Friday at the Summerfest grounds, where protesters are already preparing to meet festival goers.

People Protest PrideFest

The protesting group, the National Socialist Movement, who self titles itself America's Nazi Party, is circulating fliers on the Web calling for like-minded people to protest PrideFest on Saturday.

Randy Borremans, the organizer of the Milwaukee protests and a Green Bay, Wis., resident, said that homosexuality is unnatural and immoral.

1. I need to see about helping out next year.
Wasn't sure if they had one here and where it was. Fargo, my Great Pyrenees, and I worked the one in Dallas a few years ago registering voters.

He makes a great sandwich board, and everyone loves to come over and talk to him and pet him. I put his bandana on with an "Ask Me About Registering to Vote!" button.

Hon, what HAVE you been smoking? He's a horse! Thus, his popularity! :D



Thanks for the website! I'll have to miss Drinking Liberally this month. :-( I'll be in Minneapolis. We're not sure yet if Al is employed. If he isn't, I'm dragging him with me. :D

8. Here's what they need to do...
Have some guy who vaguely looks Hitleresque (moustache, dark hair) standing outside Pridefest. Nazi uniform from the waist up. From the waist down, fishnet stockings and four inch heels.

He wouldn't have to do anything. Just stand there. The Nazi's have to either go away or risk looking ridiculous.

Did I mention that there should be at least a half-dozen security personnel there? That would be a good idea.
