Rose Bowl Goes Gay

 

The traditional “America’s New Year Celebration,” the 125th Tournament of Roses Parade combined with the 100th Rose Bowl Game, is scheduled to celebrate those anniversaries on January 1, 2014 by joining together in a very un-traditional matrimony of two homosexuals, Aubrey Loots and Danny Leclair, atop the AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s wedding cake-shaped float which will fittingly bring up the parade rear.

Aside from anyone’s personal or religious feelings about men marrying other men and women wedding other women, a practice still banned in the majority of American states and the world, questions of propriety and purpose come to the forefront. 

That is, Is it reasonable and proper to sanction performance of a wedding during what has always been an apolitical, non-controversial, non-sectarian event?  Also, What is the intent of officials of such an event, who specifically proposed it, and why?
