Oh when the straight go marching in. I will not be in that number. When the straight go marching in.
Boston.
Boston has issued a permit for a Straight Pride parade in August

Matt Sahady has strong-armed the city of Boston into giving him a permit for a Straight Pride parade in August.

So who is Matt Sahady. Oh, just your average Trump-loving, commie-hating extremist who wants to throw Americas enemies from a helicopter.
Sahady is a force behind the Boston chapter of a small far-right group called Resist Marxism. While Resist Marxism would like to have you think its all about protecting America from leftists, it traffics in anti-Semitism and white supremacism.

Sahadys stunt is another reminder of the strong connection between the far right, white supremacy and anti-LGTBQ hatred. The Straight Pride movement is inextricably linked to the White Pride movement. The only saving grace: you just know those floats are going to be pathetic.

I will be there. No I will not be there in their number. I will stand with the protesters. Yes I am white, female and straight and I will protest the hell out of them.
Jaysus! What it is about guys, some guys not all guys, that feel their sex and color is more important that the rest of us. PATHETIC!
White supremacists can kiss my ass. There is no place for you in this world.

(2,343 posts)1. There is a straight pride parade
every day in this country. It's the daily milling about, going shopping, going to work, going to school etc. These "straight pride" people are showing just how stupid they are. I hate that we cater to the bigoted, racist a-holes in this country.

I would love to see a contingent of drag queens show up to march with them.
