PHILADELPHIA: “Queer Rage” Protest Draws 1000+ Outside Hotel Hosting Republican Leaders [VIDEO]

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:

A day before the newly sworn-in president was set to visit Philadelphia, the streets in front of the Loews hotel in Center City became a gathering place for protesters to dance, chant and express their hopes for the next four years. Philadelphia police estimated that more than 1,000 people were demonstrating as part of a “Queer Rage” dance party.

Except for some minor fence-pushing, police said, the gathering was peaceful. Organizers of the event said it was mostly intended to protest the GOP’s plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act. But the topics expanded to include Trump’s immigration policies, his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border, and his cabinet picks.

The demonstration ranged from angry, profanity-laden chants directed at the upper floors of the Center City high rise, where Republican congressional leaders are staying, to waving glow sticks, singing and dancing.

Trump is due to arrive at the hotel today.
