Counterprotesters, Straight Pride Parade marchers clash in Boston
The Boston Herald ^ | August 31, 2019 | Stefan Geller

Chants of hatred and disgust were tossed across police barricades between protesters and supporters of the Straight Pride Parade on Saturday which ended in 36 arrests and 4 injured officers, according to Boston police.

Tensions flared in the crowd of about 200 people which was composed mostly of counterprotesters and peppered with far left groups like Antifa. The controversial parade garnered national attention since its inception in June.

“We’re covered in black so when we attack these guys we can’t be prosecuted,” said Jon Crowley, an Antifa member who told the Herald that he felt violence was the only way to deal with the people marching in the parade, which went from Copley Square to City Hall Plaza. “They are fascists, 100%. How else are you going to get them to shut up?”

“Counter-protesters”

Since when is a pride parade considered a protest?

I am SO sick of everything the left doesn't agree with as being labeled as *controversial*.

It would not be *controversial* if the media didn't make it that way.

It's no more controversial than gay pride marches.

What a bunch of BS!!!!!

Why doesn’t the Left want normal people to be proud of themselves?

Except he’s telling the media using his real name that he is conspiring to commit violence, which is prosecutable...

The left are so f’ing stupid it defies description. Are they going to attack their moms and dads for being straight? I thought they reached the lowest point of dumb years ago but they continue to keep surprising me. They prove that dumbness is a bottomless pit.

To the best of my knowledge, Straight people were havign a Straight Pride parade. I suppose that the media called them "Protesters". The queers and their supporters[read Antifa] tried to interrupt them. Or in the words of the media, they "Counter Protested."

I do not believe that the marchers were protesting anything. They were just having their parade. I suppose that they thought that if the queers could have a parade, so could they. What they failed to understand is that now we live in the age of perversion and degeneracy, thanks in part to the infinite wisdom of the voters who put two perverts, degenerates, and traitors in the White House for a total of 16 out of 24 years. So what the perverts and degenerates can do and what normal people can do are two different things.

That’s the queer mafia for you! Thousands and thousands of people attend the gay parades with no problem, but when normal people have a parade, the queers have to cause trouble to stop them from parading. Tells you who and what they are.

I’ve often wondered if a “Straight Pride” parade could ever happen. It doesn’t seem fair that those of us who are NOT gay have fewer rights than those who ARE gay. It’s sad to see what this country has come to.

Homofascists are not about equality. They want supremacy and power far beyond their 2% of the public.

We should schedule another Straight Pride Parade next year. And we should have families parading...
