San Diego woman calls for boycott of Rose Parade over plans for live gay wedding

Please take a few minutes and email the Rose Parade people and thank them for allowing this float

*******************************************************

SAN DIEGO - In a Tournament of Roses Parade first, two men will exchange vows live on a parade float, but a San Diego woman isn't happy about the parade's plans for the same-sex nuptials.

Karen Grube has called for a boycott of the annual Tournament of Roses parade over plans for two men to be married on top one of the parade's 46 floats on Jan. 1.

Grube told 10News the traditional family event is not the place for political agenda, and she said, "Growing up and being a part of that whole tradition in Pasadena was just incredible."

Grube said whether you're for same-sex marriage or not, the wedding is a slap to those that don't support it and the 30 states that haven't approved it.

if this would not be a dream come true for the gay couple marrying.

Also, I went to her FB page and it's all Jayzus-GOP-Duck Dynasty. Surprising, huh?

So saying that it's not a place for political messages is out of ignorance.

and the only reason marriage equality is a political issue is because she and her ilk made it into one.
