DALLAS: Straight Pride Rally Draws Two Attendees

Three if you count the Proud Boy who showed up late.

The Advocate reports:

A Straight Pride event at Dallas City Hall plaza attracted three supporters on Saturday. The march was hosted by the anti-LGBTQ group Protecting Our Next Generations (PONG). On its Facebook, the group promised the event would include discussions of abortion (“it is murder”), marriage values (“one man and one woman”) and genders (“there are only two”). An event flyer also posted on page reads that “we as Americans are allowing our values and morals to be compromised.”

“I knew that attendance would be low, but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw that it was just them,” activist Soraya Colli told the Advocate. But according to Colli, only two people showed up for much of the event. Both men were from Boston, the Dallas Voice reported; the local PONG member who organized the march was not present. “Much later, they were joined by a member of the Dallas Proud Boys and a woman named Princess Vanna,” Colli tweeted.

This was the event organized by the alt-right hate org Super Happy Fun America and an anti-LGBT group called “Protecting Our Next Generations” which shares ridiculous, hysterical lies to promote its agenda.

SHFA is claiming oppression and “bully tactics” from the “Democrat-controlled” Dallas city government for “gouging” them with fees to host their event on City Hall plaza and are threatening to sue – (cont.)

– even though the fees are totally legal and required of ANY group wanting to host an event at the Dallas City Hall plaza. At today’s event, the SHFA rep was surprised to learn that a trans rally was cancelled recently because they couldn’t afford the fees either.

SFHA had told the city there would be 2k people at their parade, necessitating street closures and major security, hence the fees. No one was denying them the right to speak and gather – nor us the right to protest.

The 2 SHFA organizers were hilariously outnumbered by pro-LGBT & anti-fascist protestors – and about a dozen police. Much later, they were joined by a member of the Dallas Proud Boys and a woman named Princess Vanna who claims she converted from lesbianism after finding God ??

That’s it – that was their “parade.” “Princess Vanna” claims she “rebuked” them because she didn’t know what the event was really about and as a “Christian” she doesn’t like “pride.” She spent an hour proselytizing while the SHFA chumps livestreamed their non-event.
