The city of Boston will likely be holding a Straight Pride parade in August thanks to the work of a far-right group called Super Happy Fun America.
According to its website, Super Happy Fun America wants to “celebrate the diverse history, culture, and contributions of the straight community.”
The group consists of three members: President John Hugo and Vice President Mark Sahady, who identify as heterosexual, and “Gay Ambassador” Chris Bartley, who identifies as gay.
Yesterday, Bartley told Queerty he’s working to bring “Straight Pride” to Boston in an effort to “showcase how extreme the left has become.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“My motivation to participate in this year’s Straight Pride is to make the far left realize how insane they have become and how overarching they are,” he said.
And now, the tweets…
i’m totally fine with Boston having a Straight Pride parade, provided:
1) LGBTQIA+ people can attend & be oblivious to straightness & treat it like a random party event
2) there’s a mock protester brigade with bullhorns, yelling how all straight people are going to burn in hell

Doesn’t Boston have a straight pride parade every time the Patriots win a Super Bowl?

Here are some of the people attending the Boston Straight Pride Parade, including a @Yankees fan.

PLEASE let Boston have a Straight Pride Parade. Imagine the fucking content that will come from this, the memes, the news coverage, the cringe. This is literally a GIFT to fags, accept the gift girls.

The best part about the “straight pride parade” in Boston is that a bunch of gay people can just show up and march in the parade and then the three guys who arranged this absurd event just look like three guys marching in a gay pride parade.

Shall we keep going?
They’re planning a “straight pride” parade in Boston, presumably to commemorate that historic moment when courageous heterosexual frat bros finally stood up to the gay cops who had been harassing and arresting them for decades.

I thought the Boston Straight Pride Parade was the line of guys in light blue long sleeve button downs going to their finance jobs every morning???

Boston already has Straight Pride; it’s called St. Patrick’s Day and there’s even a parade.

I assumed the straight pride’s intention was to create a place where straight people are celebrating their support for gays. This sounds like it’s something else. I’d still be curious to be a fly on the wall to see what it’s all about. I think pretty much most people are aware that having a straight pride to celebrate straight people is absurd because people already support straight people automatically. They don’t have to worry about not being accepted for being straight.

One of the guys organizing it, one of the straight ones, has said on his facebook page that they’re doing it to ridicule “Identity politics” which means gay people in this case.

You would then be assuming incorrectly.
This is all very well documented. Alt-right trolling of what they perceive as the “left,” led by white supremacist who tries to root out “cultural Marxism,” and their ilk.

Having a “Straight Pride Parade” is like asking Lincoln to free the white people?? _Duh!
RevJames
Perfection, thanks I’ll be using that.

Performance art is sometimes hard to understand, although I’m not sure this is supposed to be performance art.
Silly as this is, I might take the train up there to look. I’m actually a little curious to see what kind of d*****-bags would march in this parade!
mulletkitty
None. It’s just a troll by some dissafected alt-right “culture warriors.” Sort of like these neonazi marches that file permits to hold events in public spaces, draw 9 supporters, and cost cities millions of dollars.

Face it, ANOTHER BUNCH OF TRUMP LOSERS. HOW LONG BEFORE THE NAZI PARTY AND THE KKK ARE INVOLVED.

These knuckleheads really are the forgotten breed. Nobody wants them and they cry in their creatine shakes, go to gym, come home and f*ck the couch cushions. Waaaah.

It’s telling that one of the organizers is a known anti-Semite who has made repeated anti-Semitic statements online. You can be that if he hates Jews he’s no fan of gays, racial minorities, etc. And he’s probably a closet case on to of it. But what’s more pathetic and disgusting is that there’s a self-hating gay man who’s involved with these creeps. Their insecurity and fragility would be laughable if it weren’t so offensive.

I hope along the route there will be lots of fast food franchises selling large milkshakes in throwable cups.
