"SALISBURY, N.C. - A Christmas controversy is taking one Rowan County community by storm five months before the holiday.

A holiday parade that has taken place for nearly 60 years will be canceled because organizers have received threats.

The community is shocked and angry.

"I think that's really cutting out the spirit of Christmas,” resident Bryan Norton said.

“Canceling a parade, a Christmas parade that they do every year -- that's ridiculous,” resident Liz Crunkleton said. “It's ridiculous. It really is."

The Holiday Caravan Parade usually marches through the streets of Spencer and Salisbury.

However, this week the parade board posted to Facebook and said it was dissolving the parade due to hate mail, email, and threats.

Last year, the board booted a parade participant, Avita Pharmacy, from the parade due to non-compliance.

The board said Avita tried to display LGBTQ rainbow flags and other times that weren’t pre-approved on the float.

In a statement, Avita Pharmacy said, in part, it would love to see the parade continue in a way that is “welcoming and inclusive of all groups.”

"Hopefully, we'll be able to bring our communities together and still have our parade,” Salisbury Mayor Al Higgins said.

She said that she and Spencer’s mayor have reached out to the parade organizers to find a resolution."

So in short, a Christmas parade, not holiday, has been on going for 60 years. That is a long time. A bunch of faggots wants to put their gay pride float in the Christmas Parade, they are denied. So the founders and hosting staff are now getting death threats and threats of violence and they canceled the parade. I mean what are a bunch of hormone pill popping, limp wrist, effeminate men going to do? Slap everyone with rubber dildos turn head and walk away in a strut?

I say we should support our fellow Christians and let them have a parade, if they want a fight, it should be everyone pitching in to prevent violence and push back if it ever breaks out. I mean kids go to this to see santa and celebrate in Christ and a bunch of faggots are going to have it canceled due to violence. It is bad enough that the police force is understaffed as it is because they too are afraid of all these "chimp outs" and being demonized by the media for doing their job.

Serious question though, isn't this why we have the militia? Isn't it everyone's civic duty to stop any threats both domestic and foreign? They have voluntary firefighters but what about the police and security that even just there to protect the people so they can celebrate a holiday in peace?
