WHY ARE THE HETEROS SO UPSETEROS?
Straight Pride 2019 | Boston
The short answer is that they are not... the right wing extremists are. In 2019 a group called, “Super Happy Fun America” orchestrated a straight pride parade. It was set to march the exact same route as the lgbt pride parade.
You might be wondering now, why should I care?

HATE IN DISGUISE AS PRIDE
People flew in from other states to attend this parade, carrying signs that say, “Make Normalcy, Normal Again”
Looking at photos it’s hard to tell if if this was straight pride or a trump rally.
This entire event was coded in white-supremacist messaging. Straight pride was not about being proud of your sexuality.
Straight pride was an attempt to be little and antagonize the lgbt community.
When met with backlash by protesters from the lgbt community at the event. Straight pride participants yelled, "Boston doesn't want you!" and "We out number you!"
NOT CONVINCED? HERE’S THE REAL KICKER
Mark Sahady, a lead organizer of Boston’s “Straight Pride Parade” is now facing a felony charge for his alleged participation in the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
That’s right folks. One of the people who thought it would be a great ideas to host a straight pride parade, was also one of the right wing extremist who literally committed treason against his own country in the name of Right Wing Conservatism.
Why It Matters...

The LGBT Community is constantly under attack by legislation and even society at large.
When large organizations comes together in such a way they invalidate what little progress our community has gained thus far.
We have an actual reason we celebrate pride. Trans, Non-Binary, Queer, Lesbian, Gay and more have died for what little rights we have now.
That’s why... we celebrate pride.
