Cops pull guns and fire pepper balls as California 'straight pride' march outside abortion clinic clashes with pro-LGBT protestors
daily mail ^

Posted on 08/28/2022 12:03:14 AM PDT by algore

A 'straight pride' march held in front of a California abortion clinic descended into violence as attendees clashed with counter-protesters and police.

The National Straight Pride Coalition touted the event as a celebration of 'heterosexuality, masculinity, femininity, babies - born and unborn and Western straight civilization, our wonderful country and Christianity.'

Founder Don Grundmann promised a calm organized march, telling the Modesto City council in early August: 'We're a peaceful group, we wanted to have a meeting. We're attacked as racist. We're a totally peaceful racist group.'

But it quickly descended into violence, as angry pro-LGBT rights groups clashed with officers deployed to maintain calm at the event

A large contingent of LGBTQ and pro-choice counter-protesters who took offense to the message behind the march also showed up - and violence ensued.

Skirmishes broke out between the groups, with counter-protesters draped in rainbow colored capes and holding placards that read 'Only the struggle has won - Women's Rights,' 'Fascists not welcome' and 'Straight Pride is Hate Pride.'

LGBTQ protesters threw bottles and, in one heated clash, swung signs on sticks at the Straight Pride members, driving them back away from the clinic toward the parking lot of a local Wendy's.

Police in riot gear - helmets, shields and batons - arrived to drive the LGBTQ counter-protesters back and disperse the groups.

There was a brief standoff in the parking lot of the Planned Parenthood clinic in which a phalanx of police pushed up against a wall of LGBTQ protesters.

Police could be seen pointing shotguns armed with pepper balls - hard plastic projectiles - at the crowd and firing. Authorities drove the counter-protesters back to a local car lot where they drifted apart

Why doesn’t headline say, “LGBQWERTYETC attack peaceful marchers”? At least the article tells the truth.

“Proud Boys and ‘Straight Pride’ allies fought with the larger LGBTQ groups and were driven back”

Sounds like the Proud Boys and Straight Pride are gonna have to up their game.

Still, I thought it was great they did their demonstration in front of an abortion clinic.

You can say that again. The article was a word salad of who’s who and counter who’s who. Immensely confusing.

So much for tolerance and peaceful coexistence.

Is this how it works:
I am gay (or bisexual or lesbian). I am given a month in which to celebrate my perversion. Officially.
But if you as a heterosexual normal person demonstrate that, it is hateful and fascistic.

BlackGenocide.org - perfect name. So, marchers can say they’re pro-life AND marching against Black genocide, too. It is true.

Here’s the patron saint of catching those. Some videos give his real name but to me he’ll always be Pepper Balls.

The straight pride march did not “clash” with pro-pervert protesters, the straight pride marchers were attacked by the pro-pervert protesters. Biased headline.

Don’t say straight. Say normal instead. The left knows there is power in controlling the language. ‘Straight’ implies it is an alternative. Normal is normal.
Same thing with the trannys. Don’t say “biological” male or female. That implies there are other kinds.
FTA: “straight pride is hate pride” What a clever rhyme. Why is gay pride ok then? It isn’t. We must take control of the language. Instead of cis gender, and 52 types of queer, reduce it to normal or sexually deviant.

I’m almost certain it’s a misprint/misquote. I believe he said “non-racist group”. I’ll see what I can find.

It looks like he did say that. He obviously misspoke and corrected himself.
Grundmann
I know nothing about this source. However there is a video clip of the Council meeting.
