Were Gay Pride marches disrupted by conservatives?

Gay pride month is winding down. Has anyone heard news reports of conservatives, Trump supporters, Christians, or members of the "alt-right" disrupting or attacking ANY of the myriad gay rights events that have taken place across the country in recent weeks?

[Steve_Seattle]

Maybe there were protests by a street preacher here or there, but has there been any organized disruption of these events? If not, does that not give the lie to the idea that conservatives are intolerant fascists?

A saw a story about the BLM group disrupting one of the pride marches.

"A saw a story about the BLM group disrupting one of the pride marches."

Yes, in Seattle, they disrupted the gay parade to protest the fatal shooting of a black woman who attacked police with a knife.

Why would Trump supporters disrupt the march?

[dforest]

Actually, I couldn’t care less.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Gays struck in the head by professors wielding bike locks? Anti-gay riots where windows were smashed and cars lit on fire? Masked conservatives blocking traffic on public thoroughfares?

Nope, that kind of garbage is pretty much the exclusive territory of the hard left.

Conservatives don’t disrupt free speech. We just don’t participate in things we disagree with. I’m sure there may have been like you said a couple os street preachers, but no large scale riots, car or store burnings, no hate crimes and not blocking highways. Only LW Democrats do that sort of thing

They are best left ignored. Tolerating is not the same as embracing.

Conservatives have jobs.

We don’t even have time to protest the leaches sucking us dry.

We will eventually find the time to shoot them all down though, when the pyramid scheme finally collapses.

[TheTimeOfMan]

Ignoring them has been a failure. Ignoring them, i.e., sitting on our collective thumbs, has only emboldened them.

Tolerance is a failure - the only reason the protests have toned down is because some of us went to these protests and punched people or carried AR-15’s.

Kid yourself all you want.

You say you don’t care what queers do. Given that faggots have murder, suicide, domestic abuse, and serious communicable disease rates 10-30 TIMES higher than straights you should care. You pay for their behavior.

[Neoliberalnot]

Conservatives fear the queer. Profoundly gutless conservatives, like the RINOs and other republicans live in fear of being called homophobic, although the only real homophobes were raped by adult queers when they were young children.

[Neoliberalnot]

Yep, and they do a dang good job of intimidating the right.

[RArtfulogerDodger]

I believe thousands were murdered by marching borwn shirted NRA members and people who celebrated Thanksging; so, yes. This Trump pogrom against the left dwarfs anything ISIS has done.

(Satire)

Your link is to a story in The Onion, which is - I think - a satirical site, so I don't really know how to evaluate what was depicted there. I do know, based on film of gay pride parades that I've seen, that the antics at those parades are often as lewd as those described in that article.

As recently as eight or ten years ago, even a liberal paper like The Seattle Times whould criticize some of those antics, but they wouldn't dare do so now. In fact, they are probably all on board with whatever grossness goes on.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The general public, by and large, tends to avoid men and boys who stuff their peters into each others mouths and poop chutes. As it should be.

[Cowgirl]

I have a friend who is street preaching there right now. He says the gays and lesbians are marching naked and police and fire department are right in the parade.

[jch10]

I’d say no.
