Interview with Anthony Rebello on Heterosexual Pride Parade

The LGBT community, the media, and the internet in general have been raging over the recent Heterosexual Pride Parade that took place in Seattle, Washington at Capitol Hill. The man behind this social media rage fest is Anthony Rebello. After deciding that he wanted to have a parade in celebration of his own sexuality, he took to Facebook to create an event and invite others. (https://www.facebook.com/events/426907587464714)
However, many who found the event were appalled and offended. They immediately began to accuse Rebello of being a homophobic bigot and soon took to all forms of social media to continue, and escalate, the harassment. When I heard about this I became curious and decided to see who this man was and why he thought a straight pride parade was necessary. After reading a line in his Blog, Smile Me A River, where he questioned why everyone had decided to attack him without reaching out to get his side of the story first, I knew what I had to do. I did reach out to Rebello and, admittedly to my surprise, he responded and agreed to an interview. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Anthony Rebello.
