Philly Got a Head Start on Trump Protests With "Queer Rager"
Phllly Magazine ^ | 26 January 2017

Posted on 01/26/2017 5:51:04 PM PST by Lorianne

More than 1,000 people came out for the “Queer Rager” dance party outside the Loews Philadelphia Hotel last night to protest President Donald Trump and the GOP retreat, which will occupy the hotel until Friday.

The protest brought a steady throng of dancers and demonstrators who voiced their concerns about a wide range of issues surrounding Trump and GOP policy on the Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ issues, law enforcement, immigration, climate change and more.

Philly is in the national spotlight right now – and protestors are showing up. The demonstrations will continue into today and likely grow in size, as Trump is expected to arrive at the hotel early in the day. Protests include a lunch-hour “die-in” as well as a march and rally held by Pennsylvania’s largest healthcare workers union and other demonstrations with various agendas. One protest approved by the city is expected to bring at least 3,000 demonstrators.

Aaaand that’s why you’ve lost the House, Senate, Majority of Governorships, and the Presidency.

I saw footage of that.
It wasn’t a “protest”, it was a Grindr meetup.

I knew there were many, but I didn’t know there were this many. They seem to be everywhere.

I don’t get why they chose Philly. Ridiculously expensive, elitist, and they are not going to go sightseeing.

I agree. Let's just say that you have to be secure in your manhood. Picture Cher in Moonstruck-- "Snap out of it".
