As expected, the anti-gay protesters were at the Pride parade today. But they failed to rain on the parade for most people, not shocking them after many years of such protests. And they got a scolding from Sharon Osbourne.

@CareyGLY took some photos of the protesters today at the Pride parade, including one claiming that homo sex is a threat to national security. Check out more of his photos in this online album.

The West Hollywood Sheriff reported that the protesters were gone by about 2PM.

They are a regular fixture at Pride events, and organizers and law enforcement setup a special “free speech” zone that they thankfully stay within.

It can be a shock to see them if they are unexpected, but those who have been to pride events before are usually prepared and know that they will be there.

Part of the anti-gay group came right up to Parade Grand Marshall’s Sharon and Kelly Osbourne midway through the parade, reports RadarOnline, and Sharon stood her ground. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” she said over the loud speaker.
