Arturo Gossage also watched the parade.

Greek Int'l. Market, W. Rox., cor. Wash&Grove

Sophia's pantry in Belmont.
Sophia's pantry in Belmont. Also most of the Armenian grocers in Watertown have them. Have also seen them at Christo's in East Arlington.
Mediterranean cooking supplies.
Thank you! Any other shops with Greece, Turkey, Mediterranean cooking supplies around Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline?
my suggestions above still
my suggestions above still apply. I have bought several pans for baking pita from Christo's and have also seen them at Sophia's Pantry (which is where my Very Greek Parents go shopping almost weekly). Between Christo's and Sophia's you should find most of what you need (including ingredients), and the Armenian bakeries/grocers also have a number of Greek food items as well.
Asian supermarkets
also, I got one for 4 bucks in a Chinese dollar store in Cleary Sq, Hyde Park.
Was MassEquality there?
Did a gay group march with a banner? Not because it was Greek, but because it was a parade to march in.
Adam, cute picture!
I dunno, Mark,
Do the organizers of the Greek parade have an extensive history of being loudmouthed, provincial bigots? If they don't, then maybe MassEquality didn't see them as a target for public shaming.
I suppose
The Greek Orthodox Church isn't infamous for protecting homosexual priests, so missing the motivation for MassEquality to want to be in their parades? Seems like every parade is an opportunity to get attention, so they would want to participate. Memorial Day is on the horizon for those 12 gay veterans to march somewhere.
Perhaps you could back up your assertion
by listing some of the parades in which MassEquality has tried to march?
It was a suggestion for them
They seem obsessed with the southie parade instead of seizing the many opportunities for their countless numbers of gay veterans to march and be recognized. In 35 years perhaps they can get Private Bradley Manning to march with them, or as Chelsea Manning if Bradley gets the sex change operation.
Right....
They're "obsessed" with the Southie parade, even though there are plenty of other opportunities to march ... in precisely the same way that the black students in Greensboro in 1960 were "obsessed" with getting served at Woolworth's lunch counters, even though there were plenty of other places to eat lunch.
Nice tangential slam, too, by the way.
Asshole.

As someone posted on another thread:
Don't argue with an idiot.
He'll drag you down to his level and then beat you with his experience.

Homosexual priests
You mean pedophile priests.
There is a difference, Put down The Pink Swastika and learn it.
While the GO church isn't
While the GO church isn't spotless, keep in mind that most Greek priests are married and have kids.
That's the solution
Rather than priesthood being a haven for homosexuals to go and not have to explain why they don't marry. There is much less need for homosexuals to hide in the priesthood now, but much damage was done in decades (and centuries) past.
O Rly?
Your take-away from the Catholic pedophile revelations is that the problem was homosexuality?
Here's a hint: Homosexuals are sexually attracted to people of the same sex. Child abusers are aroused by exerting dominance over powerless innocents. There's no particular reason to believe that the priests involved in the pedophile abuse were gay.
Or, as a comic (I can't find a cite now) put it, "When they rape you in prison, it's not because they're gay, it's because they like that scared, defeated look in your eyes every time they see you afterwards."
Hint, homosexuals have sex with same gender
Having sex with someone of the same gender is called a homosexual act, especially in the eyes of the victim. Are boy victims thinking they were just a powerless innocent whose attacker just happened to be a man because the vast majority of pedophiles are men? No, more like that a creepy guy wanted help finding his puppy and/or gave him toys and treats for having sex with him. Where do you get the dominance crap? These creeps claim to love children, much like Michael Jackson did.
Prison rape is not pedophilia. You show how confused you are by claiming so. Its more like the raping and pillaging of populations in war.
Gay priests and pedophile priests are NOT the same. I'm sure there are plenty of gay priests that are not pedophiles. I've never claimed that because someone is gay they are a pedophile, which seems to be your false assumption. I'm just saying that when a pedophile chooses victims of the same gender, that is technically homosexual, by definition.
Get educated
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=2117&page=143
It is for exactly this reason that men who prey on boys are called male-male molesters not homosexual molesters.
Yes, they consider themselves hetero
A study back in the '90s reported that over 90% of male child molesters who choose male victims identify as heterosexual. I'm just saying that victims have a different perspective.
Keep digging
I'm sure home for you is down there somewhere.
1990s?
Eons ago in social science.
Then again, your awareness of the world and ability to learn seem to have ceased and regressed at that point.
Also, please post your 'reference" ... somehow, I have a hunch that this "research" was some of the nonsense and garbage created out of pure bullshit for hire by one George "Rent Boy Renter" Rekers.
So what exactly are you disputing?
You claim the opposite? That most men preying on boys consider themselves gay (or chicken hawks)?
Show me your "source"
And then I will tell you.
Try again
And rape is not "having sex with someone."
Many men who rape women do not see it as a sexual act; some can't even get it up.
A request
And that would be: Enough!
Although I don't have any specific recommendations, I'm sure there are better places to discuss one's feelings on sexual predators than the comments on a picture of some little kids dressed up for a parade.
They just want to win Adam.
And the complete asininity of dumping their stinking little squabble all over your harmless parade celebration eludes them.
It's like they wander over here from the Herald after their meds kick in.
I agree
Its a really cute picture and sad SwirlyGrrl brought up pedophilia.
Please
I'm a parent. I recognize somebody trying to play innocent. Just stop, OK?
Have a Rebetika video..
..as a worthy antidote to all this chest pounding.

Thank you Adam
When I saw the firestorm on this particular topic set off by what I thought was just a cute picture of 5 little girls in cultural costumes, was about to post the same request. Thanks for beating me to it.
