No Pig Sex for you

Well, after I posted this story on Friday, they canceled it on Saturday. The big sex pig party was canceled due to the 'festivities' happening in the Doubletree Hotel.

Peter LaBarbera of the Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, was totally excited about it of course, expressing his joy on AFTAH site

MAL Maneuvers CANCELLED

As many of you know, extreme Christian groups have been pressuring Doubletree to cancel the “Obama Inauguration Pig Sex Orgy.” For two days, the hotel stood firm while the accusations and falsehoods kept coming in. Just this morning, I told the management of Doubletree how impressed I was that they resisted the calls to shut us down. Unfortunately, the matter escalated to Doubletree Corporate, and the word has come down that they will not allow our event to go on as planned. To say that I am pissed would be an understatement. We have a right to privacy and sexual freedom. I appreciate the efforts of the Centaurs [a D.C. homosexual sadistic sex group] in helping us set this up and fight the cancellation. I want to apologize to each of you who, some who have been with me for 9 years, for having to disappoint you at the 11th hour.

He shouldn't link this to Obama, BTW. However, several gay bloggers and non-bloggers were upset, but y'know...I think in the long run, it may be for the best.

I'm not going to rehash my feelings about this; y'all know I'm not a fan of these things. But I'm realizing that are a rising number of gay men who feel the same way. After reading some comments about this on Joe and Pam's blogs, I finally felt like there were diverse opinions about the issue.

To be really real, I'm surprised that folks were shocked at the cancellation: having a sex party during an huge event, advertising the party like it was a goddamn High School Prom was bound to start trouble. I ain't mad they canceled the party. It was probably the best thing to do. However, Peter and his freaks should not be in our business, but we should not be giving them gasoline to fuel the fire.

Could the Annual Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL) Weekend kick off a not-so-cute year for us?

*Warning* I'm ranting, so you are warned.

As Obama becomes the next President, an orgy of leather will be happening almost across the street.

Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Leather (basically a huge sex party) will be in town and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Peter LaBarbera, big boss of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, has begun his 'attack'.

Peter got a hold of the info involving the details of this event:

We’ve now got a KILLER line up of DEMOS, including super skilled rope bondage, sounds play, and flogging. LIVE Music and Sound is gonna be provided by THE BLACK PARTY DJ Rich King. So you can suck, fist, rim, and [f–k] TO THE BEAT. 15 Slings, Piss Tubs, Rimming Stations, a Bondage Cross, and a Flogging Station.

Accomodations

We have just received word that the Doubletree Hotel has a few rooms remaining. Call the hotel at 1-800-492-5195 and ask for the Centaur Mid-Atlantic Leather room block. [Centaur is a D.C.-based homosexual sadistic group]

This Maneuvers is a PRIVATE and INVITATION-ONLY event. It will be held at the nearby Doubletree Hotel, located at 1515 Rhode Island Avenue NW. Go to the Second Floor, which is where all the Convention Rooms are.
We are the only event on this floor and our desk is in view of the elevators.

Door Times

The Maneuvers will be held on Saturday, Jan 17. Doors open at 10pm and will close at 12 midnight. No admission after 12. Play continues until 4am. …

All pigs must be on our email list and pre-approved to receive an Invitation…

Then after he received this info, he march on over to the hotels, where the debauchery will take place. Not only did he warn the hotels, he took all of this info and posted it up on his site, including hotels and their parent companies. As you will see, he is trying to shut it down. Peter will probably fail, but he could accomplish a huge powerful goal.

This could be a start of backlash for us. I know we have these 'parties', but this one is too close for comfort. This is not to far from Obama's inauguration. This could our Senator Robert Kelly (sorry, X-Men reference) that tips the scales from us to the kooky conservatives.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of these type of events. These events can set us back and almost unravel our argument for marriage and basic civil rights. I think we should celebrate our sexuality, but I don't want this to bite us in ass...I could go into a rimming joke, but I won't.
