Proving once and for all that topless models should never be appointed ministers for equal opportunities, Italian babe Mara Carfagna has refused to support a gay pride parade, because, as she says, "gay prides are pointless."

"Homosexuality is no longer a problem, at least not the way the organizers of these demonstrations would have us believe," she said.

Gay rights advocates point out that for gays, gay pride parades are like gay Christmas and gay Halloween all wrapped into one big gay holiday. They also point out that 14 gays have been murdered in Italy in the past two years. Gay-murder advocates point out that the stupid queers deserved it and that they don't want they their streets clogged with glitter anyway. Mara Carfagna's nipples meanwhile, simply point out.
