Outrage around proposed Modesto 'straight pride parade'
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | July 25, 2019 | Hannah Knowles

Posted on 07/25/2019 12:31:27 PM PDT by artichokegrower

The event is billed as a "straight pride parade," but it's not just about heterosexuality. A flier for the celebration posted online describes an amalgamation of conservative rallying cries: Christianity, Western civilization, "babies -- born and unborn" and more.

What no grown men dressed as nuns whipping naked men on the public street? What kind of pride can this be?

You can bet folks this classy aren't going to demonstrate all the great heterosexual positions either. But I do hope they fly this flag:

Isn’t “straight pride” a hate crime? How dare these bigots take pride in being normal.

What a silly way for my hometown to make the news...

But I am not surprised.

I don’t get it. Why no tolerance for normal people?

Sounds good to me!

“Walking down the lane, through intersections to celebrate God, life and moral virtue ... with none of the intersectionality.” is a sign I might carry were I there.

... well, off the top of my head that is....

Outrage over this, but not over the debauchery during the annual Folsom Street Fair.

Typical leftists in Modesto.

They oppose the First Amendment rights of participants Straight Pride Parade, all while hardly a single voice opposes a gay pride parade.

Hypocrites with ever fiber of their nonexistent souls

It seems like every time a few people on the right get frustrated and voice their opinions, they get opposition from others on the right.

Can’t chant “Send her back!” because it’s racist.

Can’t have Straight Pride parades because they’re homophobic.

I think it’s great. I wish my town had the same balls. I live in the bay area, close enough to attend. We’ve totally rolled over in the culture war. It’s time we start fighting back.

There's always a money quote and this one is a doozy.
City Council member Kristi Ah You told CBS Sacramento that she would not allow the event if it were her decision.

"I don't think we need to give a permit for anything that when you go to the page it talks about whiteness, it talks about western civilization, it talks about being Caucasian," she said. "That's all hate crime stuff to me; that's not OK."

Kristi Ah You Dirty Whore is exactly right. We DON’T “need to be giving a permit” to people who celebrate their Christianity, their whiteness and their heterosexuality. THEY DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ PERMIT!

Their right to assemble and express themselves is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

And why is this arrogant bitch not being charged with hate speech and other assorted “hate crimes”?

The LGBT lobby has brought this backlash on themselves when they decided to bully everyone into submission. Whether it’s from suing Christian cake bakers, forcing expression-crushing speech codes, or their failure to rein in transgender sexual deviants and “female athletes”, a lot of support they used to enjoy from “live and let live” Americans is starting to fade.
