so anyone who, for whatever reason, acts flamboyant/theatrical in public should be compelled to stop?
Because it's not how the majority is genetically wired?

that will kill the tourist biz in Provincetown! HA!

If you've never been there, you wouldn't believe how much fun it is, banter hurled back and forth but all is in the spirit of entertainment.
Don't recall any viewers hurling rocks, wielding bats, or shooting the locals. It's like stepping into a musical comedy right on stage.

Never been but have heard Key West has some similar antics happening.

I just figure live and let live, if truly accepted rather than simply tolerated only when behavior is considered acceptable (kept in the closet?), there'd be no need for "Pride Marches" of any kind.

I think both parades are stupid, partly because neither side should feel uncomfortable being who they are.

What if we, as a species, were more than just sex? What if there were more to us?

Sorry, I'm talking crazy...

I wasn't figuring that actual sex acts were what people were complaining about when they say it's being put in their face.

People can walk down the street wearing chaps, feathers and sequins for all I give a $hit. Would just give me something to tell the wife...."Guess what I saw....."

threadjack threadjack on (is that possible?)

turns out there are bad people on both sides...and a few interesting stories in the aftermath.

3 dozen people who were protesting the Straight Pride Parade were arrested, so far only two of the first 16 to come before the judge have had the charges dropped despite the Suffolk County D.A.'s request for leniency for those charged with low level offenses Others will be let go, but something like 6 are alleged to have assaulted police. The judge has given every indication he will deal harshly with those individuals if the charges are accurate, as he should.

A mitigating circumstance that is being investigated is the timing of and necessity of police use of pepper spray. But the D.A. said several protesters were legally exercising their rights to protest.

And another factor has surfaced...Super Happy Fun America, the group that organized the parade, is led by Mark Sahady. He is a member of Resist Marxism (are Marxists gay?) founded by an alt right leader and has a "history of violence" (Boston Globe)...including a Free Speech rally in Boston back in 2017 that attracted white nationalists.

Motivation? Worth waiting to find out.

I think I mentioned it previously.... The grand Marshall for the straight pride parade was notorious homosexual Milo Yannapolis... Definitely wasnt an anti-gay thing...

Joel, if Ron hadn't started this thread, I wouldn't have given it a second thought even though I live close to Boston. Just seemed like a stupid, misguided attempt at being provocative.
But I'm finding the aftermath to be more intriguing.

The DA is playing politics, Frank.

And the white supremacy angle was played well before the parade began.
It's probably true that the organizers were involved with a group like that. Who else is stupid enough to hold such an event?

But it appears that the parade did not emulate that mentality.

The only violence came from those protesting the "parade".

Calling these protests "free speech" should be embarrassing even for most liberals. You don't embrace free speech by trying to squelch opposing free speech with violence and force.

Side note: I find it odd that you mention the tie to white supremacy but have not mentioned the "protesters" tie to Antifa. Those masked thugs were in the belly of the crowd getting pepper sprayed.

And you haven't mentioned the actions of one of the "Squad" broads. Presley is pushing for an "independent" investigation. Because she doesn't trust the cops or the judge.

Think about this.
A "straight pride parade" was pulled off over labor day weekend in the city of Boston.
And the polarizing impact will be orchestrated by the DA and Squad Presley.

It would be funny if it weren't despicable.
