    Were his comments inappropriate? Has he opened up a hornet's nest? Will he be able to keep his job?

    His comments were inappropriate. Just not worthy enough for a resignation.

    In San Francisco, there are gay men that wear very colorful fairy costumes, with wands and pixie dust.

    It's sad when you can point out the truth and then get destroyed for it.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with straight pride, or being proud of being straight. As for the fairy comment, well, a while back it was not PC to call queers queers, but now they call themselves queers. And from the below pic, it looks like fairy might be the latest label they tag themselves with.

    I hope the left reacts to this the same way they reacted to Trump supporters being called deplorable and smelly.

    To the left, be careful what you wish for and force on others. The backlash can be a real B I T C H.
    I have been waiting quite a while to for this counter revolution to actually start. Look at the simple formula.
    Gay Pride=OK and promoted
    Straight Pride=Damn you sexist, racist bastard.

    This is the left at it's worst, but unfortunately, the truth hurts the left. They are having done to them what they have done to other, and now they want others to SHUT UP.

    So called "Straight Pride" like this elected official should be dismissed.

    It's fine to have "Straight Pride", but calling all gays "fairies" is an insult.

    Would it fair to call all straights "rapists"?

    Fairies is what they now call themselves. But does it matter what he calls them? A rose by any other name...… Further, the left is brutal to the right in just as bad ways.

    This is hilarious and hats off to the mayor for pushing this.

    And if this bothers them just wait until our new Supreme Court takes away that marriage thing from them.

    I think its rude to call a gay person a 'fairy.'

    ...unless they're wearing butterfly wings and carrying a wand. In that case, calling them anything else would simply be innaccurate.

    No, most gays don't call themselves "fairies" (except someone is wearing butterfly wings and a wand, but some aren't gay!)

    So, ok, and a guy who wear pants and a shirt is "rapist"!

    After all, "A rose by any other name", right?

    no logical argument can be made against a Straight Pride Month or White History Month, and the Identity/Victim-Oppressor pimps did it to themselves.

    Well, I seem to have hit a nerve. I have no need to know anyone's sexual orientation. They want to put it in your face (literally). I don't give a damn what you like or don't like. Stop trying to let me know this or that about anyone. I just don't care. But, if we are going to have "gay pride", then damn it, we can have straight pride. Gays are NOT special!!!!

    Nothing wrong with straight pride. The miracle of life itself results from Straight.

    I hope he doesn’t resign, he’s in the right.

    But his is "not in the right".

    He has every right free speech.

    What he doesn't have the Right is to denigrate citizens, to stereotype local citizens as whatever this bigot HE decides they are, regardless any truth inches, which is the usual bigotry.

    Some gays are "fairies", some are hard bitten bikers, some are God-fearing Republican millionaires. And some of those same groups are straight! (Fewer than many who suppose...)

    And none are "special"!

    Which is why the worst of this is the utter bigotry is from the several calls in this very place who call for the end of free speech, comments like "keep our kinky stuff to ourselves, Americans"! For wearing wings and wands? What BS!

    Of course, the worst call of all is the the calls that Republican call for the end of freedoms like
    "Supreme Court takes away that marriage thing from them."

    Yeah, the Republican usual call for destroying America! That'll fix those people who think America is Free!

    He does have that right. Free speech means sometimes you’ll hear things you don’t approve of.

    There is nothing wrong with straight pride as long it isn’t in the pretext of demeaning others. If your pride is just about being anti something then it’s hate - not pride. His website shows where his “pride” lies...

    Some pride y’all have.

    And it means the right for others to call for your termination.

    a demeaning movement appears to be afoot in the lesbian community.....they are apparently rather miffed at M2F transgenders who play in their garden.

    What does this have to do with straight pride?
    So proud you cannot stop obsessing over gays?
    Odd fixation... Seems to be a trend with the “straight pride” crowd

    Let me ask more slowly.
    What does seven lesbians protesting an event have to do with straight pride?
    Besides your obsession that is... Try again with just a small about of integrity if you can muster it up.
