Langford says he will not stop gay pride parade – Breaking News from The Birmingham News – al.com
He still won’t sign the proclamation, and apparently won’t allow banners on city property — two things that past mayors have done. That’s because he’s a bigot. At least he isn’t breaking out the firehoses.

Birmingham mayor denies gay parade permit- al.com
BMLL won’t sign the proclamation declaring Gay Pride Day, or issue a permit for the parade. This is just simple bigotry. He doesn’t even deny it.
In addition, Langford said anyone familiar with his personality and religious views should not be surprised by the denial.
“I’m not going to endorse, condone or condemn anybody,” he said. “I’m just not going to sign the proclamation.”
Of course, he says he’s “not intolerant”, but obviously, he is. This isn’t a new thing; the gay pride parade in Birmingham has been going on since 1989, and Arrington and Kincaid signed the proclamations and issued the permits. This isn’t about politics, it’s about Langford’s own bigotry.
Just to make clear: Larry Langford is a Christianist bigot and the spiritual heir of Bull Connor. That is all.
