On Saturday, about 200 people participated in a much-publicized and much-maligned “straight pride” parade in Boston put on by a group calling itself “Super Happy Fun America.” There to greet them were about five times as many “anti-fascist” counter-protesters ready to “protect” the city from the “homophobic” paraders. By the end of the day, the Boston police arrested 36 people, including “activists” who came armed with dangerous weapons and who proved they were prepared to get rough, even with police. In response, two members of the “Squad” of far-left freshmen Democratic congresswomen urged their supporters to donate to help bail out the “allies & accomplices” who “put themselves on the line protecting the Boston community.”
As The Daily Wire reported back in June, after their initial parade request was turned down by the City of Boston, Super Happy Fun America filed a discrimination complaint and eventually forced the city to formally approve their “celebration of heterosexuality.” As noted by The Washington Times, the mayor of Boston made sure that residents knew where he stood on the parade, urging the city to “turn our backs on hatred” and accusing the event organizers of “sowing division between people.”
