Винаги съм била против тези паради, не за друго, а зашщото демонстрират 
лош вкус, пошлост, и според мен не са нищо "възпитателно" за децата.
Знамето също няма място на обществени сгради освен ако не е нещо, 
специално обслужващо такива хора.
Но да забраняваш на служители --да купуват--, не дори да носят, но да 
купуват Pride lanyards, това вече е другата крайност. Аз вчера почти си 
купих изкуствени цветя в техните цветове, просто красив букет с ярки 
цветове. Струва ми се последните години се лутаме от една крайност в 
друга и не можем да намерим резонни и справедливи решения.

Не е вината на тези хора, че са такива. Така са родени.
Не одобрявам пошла демонстрация, но в същото време не одобрявам и 
подигравките или дискриминирането им. Много известни хора са били 
такива, да не говорим за животинския свят. И се чудя толкова ли е сложно 
по дяволите да намерим цивилизован подход. Аман от разделение - бели, 
черни, хомо, хетеро, леви, десни...
