The horrors unleashed against the Queer community this year seems to have inspired far-right streetfighting gangs, white-nationalists and neo-nazis to organize a get-together of hateful anti-Queer folks, titled "straight pride". "Super Happy Fun America, a rebrand of far-Right group Resist Marxism, held the Straight Pride Parade in Boston on Saturday, August 31st. At its height, the event attracted approximately only 100 attendees, who were vastly outnumbered by the 2,500 people who came out in response to Solidarity Against Hate call for a mass mobilization to oppose them. As soon as the day began, police ousted a number of journalists covering the parade, after an argument in which an officer did not want to be filmed and refused to provide his badge number. This was followed with a dance party from the antifascist contingent. On the fascist side, a counter-protester was briefly handed a megaphone, which he used to announce, “This is the worst fucking parade. Fuck all of you Nazis,” before the device was snatched from him. Parade Grand Marshal Milo Yiannopoulos showed up shortly after noon, protected by a group of American Guard members, including American Guard New Hampshire President John Camden, who had spent the week prior tweeting violent rhetoric about killing communists and socialists. However, many of the planned far-Right celebrity guests failed to show. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who had been promoted as a speaker, did not attend or offer an excuse for his absence. Similarly, Billy Sessions and the Hiwaymen, who had previously promoted the event, did not attend. And the Patriot Saints, a splinter cell of the Soldiers of Odin USA that had previously promised to do security, openly disavowed the rally, calling it a “mockery of what a true patriotic conservative is.” The parade itself attracted numerous neo-Nazis and antisemites, including a man with “1488” knuckle tattoos selling Straight Pride t-shirts, and the Rhode Island-based Sarah Flynn, a member of the National Socialist Movement. And the homophobia was on full display from the Straight Pride organizers. Theresa Stevens-Richenberger, a featured speaker and Super Happy Fun America’s “Spiritual Advisor,” according to their website, told the crowd, “It’s not okay to be gay and if someone told you otherwise they lied to you.” One attendee, wearing one of Steven Crowder’s “Socialism is for F*gs” shirts, pronounced “I am anti-gay” and screamed “F*ggot” at protesters. - This Week in Fascism
The straight pride marchers were overwhelmed in Boston by the counter-protesters. Notice the number of MAGA hats
and not a half naked twerking child with mentally malfunctioning blue haired parnets could be found that day.
Why should anyone care about Americans killing each other, when they no longer even have a democracy? If gay people want better treatment, all they have to do is buy the government like everyone else does. Certainly, no one is seriously attempting to restore our democracy. Marching down main street is just a way to haggle for lower prices. Maybe when the KKK starts throwing them in ovens, they'll figure it out. I'm sure democrats will object, strongly, and vote the bums out of office! The lowest common denominator, is money and the guns doing all the talking worth listening to, while idiots complain they still have a functional government. Back into the closet with you, until you save up more money.
The Proud Boys are not a neo-nazi group. They are a far-right streetfighting group, with many white-nationalist and homophobic tendencies. And yes, they are well known for tokenizing.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed a “Straight Pride” parade in Boston on Saturday and what she said appeared to be a lack of women, calling it an "I-Struggle-With-Masculinity" parade. “For men who are allegedly so ‘proud’ of being straight, they seem to show real incompetence at attracting women to their event,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote along with a retweet of footage from the march. “Seems more like a ‘I-Struggle-With-Masculinity’ parade to me.’”
I assume you’re referring to the transgender dude wearing the dress, and yet at the same time he's wearing a MAGA hat .. Does seem to be somewhat of a contradiction
Nah, I'm talking about the whole three ring circus. The billionaire mayor of NYC had his pigs arrest 26 reporters in one day, and nobody said boo. He got a slap on the wrist, and only a fool still believes the American people are listening to even themselves.
Was starting to get suspicious as to why there werent any wide shots in most of these news articles across the media Protesters around the stage, lucky if there are 100 of them Counterprotestors on the road, maybe 300 tops Total non event from both sides hyped up by the media
How DARE they revel in their straightness. Really now, who in their right mind wants to flaunt their sexuality around like this? It's disgusting. I don't want to know about ANYBODY'S sex life.
OR, it could be that politicizing gay and transgender issues is not working across the board. There may actually be, (gasp) Gay Republicans!!!!!!!!!! Oh the horror.
You are obviously in the minority, and should never get on the internet or watch mass media. They sell sexuality so hard, that the Japanese, white US and EU populations are taking a nosedive. All the fun with none of the hassles and, soon, realistic AI and robots! If they disgust you, the best thing you can do is invest in the porn industry, and let survival of the fittest decide their fates.
