Gov. Patrick to march in Boston gay pride parade


BOSTON—Gov. Deval Patrick will be leading a group of volunteer supporters for President Obama at a gay pride parade in Boston.

Democratic Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren also plans on joining the parade.

Patrick and the Obama for America volunteers will gather on Boylston street between Dartmouth and Clarendon streets at about 11:30 a.m. Saturday. The 42nd annual Boston Pride Parade is scheduled to kick off at noon.

Patrick is a national co-chair of Obama's re-election campaign.

I love this sort of positive marching, more people at the Boston parade than at any Tea Party rally, I bet.

Keep it all in perspective, friends.

Seems like the bigots and the demo-haters have landed upon that small article there.

They want to spread their hatred of Deval Patrick and candidate for Senate Elizabeth Warren.

Seems like they also want to say all gay folks are spreading AIDS! Boston Globe readers are a mixed lot, and evidently, someone on the right decided this place was the place to attack Warren and gay folks.

Join in the fun of making these cretins go sulk in the corner.

The best way to get to them is to make their comments look silly and hateful.

a Senate candidate march in Gay Pride events, along with the Mayor of the state's largest city, who rode in a convertible.

Not bad, for the first state to legalize gay marriage, and has one of the lowest all-over divorce rates.

Gay people are destroying this state, for sure! <satire>
