#1 An interesting choice by the ambassador. Do they host Christian, Ahimaddi, Shiite, Hindu, and Jewish pride days, too, or is this just something they do for the LGBT crowd?

#2 LGBT Pride month was celebrated government-wide. Our embassy is sovereign territory, remember. This was just the State Dept.'s version. Nothing to do with the Paks, who never miss an opportunity to demonstrate (sort of like donks).

#3 What are the odds that this gay rights event will improve the life of a single gay Pakistani in any way?

What are the odds that some gay people in Pakistan will be killed, hurt or at least scared by the outrage and the backlash against the promotion of homosexuality by an infidel government?

What are the odds that those who held this event care more about the lives of gay Pakistanis than they care for the admiration of their progressive friends who live in complete safety and security??
