Milo Yiannopoulos named marshal for 'Straight Pride' parade

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been named the grand marshal for Boston’s "Straight Pride" parade.

Organizers announced Friday the former Breitbart editor as the parade's grand marshal after they originally used actor Brad Pitt's name and likeness for the event.

The head of Super Happy Fun America, a group that "advocates on behalf of the straight community," told the Boston Herald that Pitt “was not super happy” about the group using his name and likeness without his consent.

“I really like his movies and his lawyers sent us a letter asking us to take his stuff down but, you know, you’re allowed to do satire,” John Hugo, president of Super Happy Fun America, told the newspaper.

The organization later named Yiannopoulos, who is openly gay, as its grand marshal for the event.

“I might technically be a sequined and perfectly coiffed friend of Dorothy’s, but I’ve spent my entire career advocating for the rights of America’s most brutally repressed identity — straight people — so I know a thing or two about discrimination,” Yiannopoulos said (more at link)

“Provocateur”?

Since when is it provocative to be on the right side of things?

I guess anything that doesn’t jive with the agenda of the left-wing and LGBTQ community, and baby killers and Muslin sympathizers, is now called provocative?

“Right-wing provocateur” — nothing like throwing out a pejorative bomb in the very first three words of an article, huh?

Did you EVER read about a “Left-wing provocateur”?

“Provocateur” sounds more faaaabulous than “enemy”.

I have said that the honk pill is at least better than the black pill if after being red pilled they still seem to struggle.

There is a video embedded in the article, featuring a still of Milo speaking after the Orlando shooting. Here is a pic from that speech-note the flag behind Milo:

Apparently, this flag became popular after Orlando:

The fight for America's soul won't be won in National Review or editorial pages. It is THIS type of fighting back and things like #WalkAway that will keep Deplorablism alive for another 4 years.
