It’s LGBT pride month, but three guys in Boston want a permit for a ‘Straight Pride’ parade
Washington Post ^ | June 4, 2019 | Marisa Iat

Pride Month kicks off in Boston on Tuesday with a lights event, a paint night — and preparations for a possible “Straight Pride Parade” this summer.

The event to celebrate heterosexuality in one of the nation’s most gay-friendly cities is meant to poke fun at the “identity politics” of the political left, organizer Mark Sahady wrote in a Facebook comment.

The parade organizers have designed a flag and designated actor Brad Pitt as their “mascot.”

“For them everything is based upon identity and whether or not one is categorized as a victim or an oppressor,” Sahady wrote on Facebook. “If you get victim status then you are entitled to celebrate yourself and expect those with oppressor status to defer to your feelings.”

Organizers of the Straight Pride Parade tentatively plan to host the event Aug. 31, Sahady wrote, and have filed a discrimination complaint against Boston for permission to fly their straight pride flag.

The parade will include floats and vehicles, Sahady wrote, and will run from Copley Square to City Hall — the same route as the official Pride parade will take Saturday.

It will go over exactly as well as a ‘White Power’ parade.

If they don’t get the permit, is it blatant discrimination?

Knowing the perverts that infest this city (and state) as I do I’d wager the clothes on my back that he’s getting death threats from the creatures who are just so full of love.

I think it is LONG overdue for stuff like this.

About thirty years, overdue. For real.

We live in a post-heterosexual age. When I was a teenager, we tittered over Playboy. We were randy men who deified Joe Namath, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra. We loved women. We loved how they looked, how they flirted, how they looked in lingerie. We worshipped Raquel Welch, Anne-Margret, Brigitte Bardot..

Women were a delight, a mystery, a conquest. We flirted. We chased skirts. We made out in the shaddows. It was glorious. And both sides enjoyed it.

It was like in a different universe.

It's not EIEIO pride month. Just because a band of perverts gets together and hijacks 30 days out of the calendar doesn't mean they own them any more than they own the rainbow or the word "gay," which they also stole.

The month is June, and there's nothing about smoking pud to be proud of.

Reminds me of a time when I was a contractor working at a federal agency. One of the folks who I worked with there headed up their “Hispanic Affairs Advisory Council” which apparently promoted and advocated for Hispanic employees. I jokingly asked the person if they had a “Germanic Affairs Advisory Council” (my “ethnicity”). They didn’t think it was funny.

Fascist nitwits never think questioning them or ridiculing them is funny. However, these lunatics deserve both 24/7.

“It’s LGBT pride...”

Thank God there are only 26 letters in the alphabet. Only 22 more genders to go. Pray their degeneracy at least respects case-insensitivity.

Actually, the only thing that would make these angry arrogant lettered ones more upset than having a Straight Pride parade would be NOT having one.

I’m still in favor of having it. Just pointing out that their source of imagined virtue and diabolical pride is the fact that they are irreverently different - making each new manufactured minority better in their misguided minds than the not-yet-evolved majority.

With that in mind, I think it would both increase the intensity of the Left’s pride-gasm and be more accurate in general to call it a Normal Pride parade.

The city gave them a permit for move In day. For the college kids. A total disaster! No body with a brain gets near town!, twenty five idiots will try and get Uhauls Ryders and all kinds of trucks under the ‘Storrow bridge because they are too dumb to read the zillions of No Trucks signs. Most of us will be on the Cape or up in the Lakes.
