MODESTO, Calif. — A Northern California city has denied a request to hold a so-called Straight Pride rally at a park.
Modesto city officials on Friday denied an application by the National Straight Pride Coalition for an Aug. 24 event at Graceada Park.
Organizer Don Grundmann had estimated 500 people would attend. The group says it supports heterosexuality, Christianity and white contributions to Western civilization.
Opponents argued the rally would promote hatred of LGBTQ people and minorities.
City spokesman Thomas Reeves says the permit request was denied over safety concerns, because the group lost its liability insurance and the parks department determined the event wasn’t consistent with park use.
However, Reeves says the city would allow the rally at a downtown plaza if the group proves it has insurance by Tuesday.
Isn’t it ludicrous how they can have a parade and we can’t? LOL, no matter the reason CA gives, the truth is staring us in the face.
Normal people aren’t allowed to rally in California, which is a lot like a psycho ward where the most abnormal person is the psychiatrist!
Heterosexuality hasn’t been under attack as homosexuality has.
Under attack? Seems like WE have to adopt their lifestyle! It’s disgusting. They claimed they just wanted to get married and be left alone, so we gave it to them. Now we have to “accept” drag queen story time, gays walking down the street naked in front of kids, and pedophilia normalization!
LGBTQ is full of sensitive people who are offended at the very thought of not being adored as a tolerant, accepting, respectful group when in fact they are intolerant, bigoted and disrespectful of heterosexuality and the promotion of same sex marriage and traditional family values.
It’s the world’s gone crazy cotillion!
BTW, California is a shithole!
The city should be renamed to Molesto.
That’s not true at all…
I guess you don’t see the Progressive progression.
Nope, that’s not what was being discussed…
Yell at your child in public? Have the state take them away for abuse.
Dress your little boy up to look like a slutty woman and have him parade around with sodomites and pedophiles? Get media praise.
People are attacked for expressing their views on homosexuality as homophobes because of their right to freedom of speech.
Commiefornia receives alot of money from the sale of Adult Videos.I don’t call it porn except for snuff films , violent BDSM and especially underage child sex videos.
If all the heterosexual people in Modesto would dress up,wear makeup and flaunt themselves like these ■■■ EXTREMISTS, they would have a permit.
