BLM and Antifa, having created a lawless CHAZ in Seattle, are preventing homosexuals from celebrating "Pride Month". How sad.

[BenLurkin]

“gun” violence?

[Bogey78O]

Blame ya people. They did that.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Ahhh...the Good Old Days when we celebrated Perversity, Buggery and Carpet Munching! Those were the days!

As America’s “French Revolution” eats its own, who will be our Napoleonic despot?

The Democrats are the real homophobes!

BLM-established, anti-violence CHOP is a mere 3 weeks old, but they’ve managed to kill 3 black people already.

Forward!

[a fool in paradise]

that’s only the beginning. Communism kills.

The numbers of times I have read about how all of the different Democrat groups are all together on this “Pride” thing, but every single black, Hispanic, whatever group I know of, personally hates the gays and will not stand to be around them.

They are great over there, but don’t come here.

Seattle is doomed for any business. The City Council and mayor made sure of that. Oh, and, the CC will tax to death whatever is left. They need to get paid too.

Sounds like the fruits are social distancing! That would surely mean a decrease in syphilis cases,wouldn't it?

[Jan_Sobieski]

Cry me a river.

Voting for leftists has consequences

I am from the U.S. I use “karpov” as my moniker because I am a chess fan. Free Republic does not allow links to Bloomberg, after a complaint lodged by Bloomberg.

[reagandemocrat]

Well, Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.

[dp0622]

I agree but it doesn’t seem to be enough reason to vote against the Democrats. Although I think Trump being a real man is attracting maybe 25% of black male voters

You know, I had about 50 things that I was going to say, but I guess I'll just sum them up and say: "Thank God".
