I thought they all fantasized about it. Being in the middle of it.

Wow, too bad it wasn't two guys kissing - that would've really blown their little heads off. Well, there's always next year.

Just shut off the #Thanksgiving Macy’s parade this year -after watching since I’m a kid. They really pushed it and added unnecessary girl on girl kissing -my kids watching!!

It's moronic, but it does make sense if one pieces it back together. "After watching since I'm a kid" is really awkward, should be more since I was a kid, but this person is a conservative, so being able to write at all is an accomplishment.

Given the unprecedented level of gun violence in this country and the number of Americans, including young people, who die shredded by bullets, the outrage over a kiss, even a same-sex one, seems misdirected and irrational. Do they really believe affection is wrong but deadly violence is just fine?

I was kind of half watching the parade and playing Candy Crush at the same time. I haven't watched the parade in many years, but I thought it would be neat to show my 9 year old. I found a live stream of it on YouTube. I haven't had regular TV since they did the analog to digital switch, which was before he was even born. Pretty cool all the stuff you can see on YouTube. There was a 360 live stream video of the parade on YouTube too, but I didn't watch that one as I couldn't control the perspective with my Roku remote. You can do that if you are watching from a computer though. Pretty neat.

butthurt xtians make me happy. I was so happy to see that moment during the parade, even more so than the kinky boots thing a few years ago! I knew there'd be whining and moaning about "the children!" from those horrible garbage people and it completely made my day! That's what I'm thankful for!

Love is love. And the "Christians" that are so distressed by a kiss need to get over themselves. Think I remember something about a greatest commandment (love) and not judging from that book they all like to quote so often.
