It's not so surprising to see something "tasteless" at a Pride parade (Gay culture has always pushed cultural boundaries), it is a little surprising to one of our city councilmembers expressing such an opinion, even if he is Gay. In my book, publicly endorsing the death of another person will always be tasteless. I think that Councilmember Schiff should consider apologizing, he wouldn't want to be seen as being as coarse as Representative Lindner would he? ;-) Michael Atherton Prospect Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
