Milo Yiannopoulos was ‘grand marshal’ for rightwing event

The Boston Straight Pride Parade Actually Happened And People Were Not Happy"Seems more like a 'I-Struggle-With-Masculinity Parade to me'" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

Clashes erupted at a “Straight Pride” parade in Boston on Saturday when counter-protesters turned up in droves to oppose the event.

Boston Police Department spokesperson James Kenneally told HuffPost three dozen people were arrested on various charges, including disorderly conduct, unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon and assaulting officers. 

According to the Boston Globe, about 600 counter-protesters met an estimated 200 marchers when the parade reached City Hall Plaza, where police barricades prevented protesters from accessing a concert stage where the Straight Pride rally was held. 

The event featured floats and signs expressing messages of support for President Donald Trump such as “2020 Trump” and “Build The Wall.” 

Ostensibly upset that city officials were protecting the marchers and permitting the parade, some protesters reportedly turned their anger towards the police towards end of the rally, prompting scuffles, arrests and the use of pepper spray. 

People at the counter-protest event featured signs with a range of messages for the Straight Pride marchers, including “Oppressor cannot be oppressed,” “A straight pride parade is called TRAFFIC,” and “love is love and straight pride is hate pride.”

A Facebook event for the counter-protest, titled “Fight Supremacy: Hands Off Our Pride,” called the para group white supremacists ― a claim supported by multiple links between the straight parade’s event organizers and far-right groups.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) derided the event on Twitter, pointing out a clear lack of female representation at an event purported to promote being straight.

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh also condemned the event, suggesting Bostonians celebrate events this weekend which promote the city’s values of “inclusion, love of the community and acceptance of all.”

The rally was organized by Super Fun Happy America, a group which, according to its website, advocates on behalf of the straight community ― which they believe are an “oppressed majority.”

“The day will come when straights will finally be included as equals among all of the other orientations,” group president John Hugo is quoted as saying on the site.

City of Boston officials approved the group’s application to host the event in June, but denied their request to raise the Straight Pride flag at City Hall Plaza.

I didn't know that. Still it's a skewed mentality to host such an event while being part of the (alt)LGBTQ+ community

To me straight pride really sounds like "I want to be seen as special" from folks who actually are LUCKY to not be deemed weird by anyone and to receive automatic acceptation in every situation.

What's next? Rich folks gonna tell us they want their own social programs cause they're jealous of the broke ones  getting special care lmao? Just enjoy your luck bunch of fools lmao!

:saladga:

The event is a troll to get the left triggered and make fun of them. Its not a serious straight pride that people are proud of being straight. This is why we shouldnt give this event attention and we should mock them instead of being offended.

It's a troll but also made to mock actual prides.

They basically laugh at their intents like if it wasn't needed anymore and just LGBT folks who are moaners/ attention whores. These fools  don't know how needed it still is. :/

What?? If that’s a joke I would rethink throwing words around like that. There are actual pedos in the world. Nobody deserves their life ruined because you disagree with their politics :awkney:
