Pride events always attract out-of-town crowds, and today’s Straight Pride at Dallas City Hall Plaza was no exception. All two of the participants were here from Boston. Not even Teresa Stephens Richenberger from Liberty City, Texas, the local organizer with Protecting Our Next Generation, appeared at the event. About 20 protesters showed up at City Hall Plaza.
One of the two Boston participants claimed he was kicked out of his home as a teen and was fired from his job because he was straight.
The two organizers complained about fees the city was charging along with the permit that would have amounted to about $12,000. They were shocked to learn from Jayla Wilkerson, a city attorney and trans activist, that a proposed trans march had to be canceled because they were going to be charged the exact same fees.
Reacting to a statement by Richenberger on Facebook that cities that are run by Democrats don’t welcome free speech, Wilkerson suggested Dallas’ LGBT community stage a Pride parade in her city and see just how welcoming they are.
One of the straight Pride people yelled insults at the transgender attendees saying, “We know there are only two genders.” He also said, “I’m part of the oppressed majority.” When two of the protesters got too close to the Straight Pride crowd of two, police separated them, ending the arguing. Some individuals approached the the straight pride duo to talk, one at a time, which changed no one’s minds and prolonged the pair’s visit to City Hall Plaza.
The Boston visitors, presumably from the group Super Happy Fun America that staged the Boston Straight Pride event this past summer, said this wasn’t the parade. They promised that one would be held in Dallas next year. That’s good that this wasn’t the parade, because there were no floats, no marching bands, no beads, no super happy fun. And next year, if Richenberger just brings a friend from East Texas, participation will double.

They look like the classic guys that live in their mother’s basement.
They should really just blow each other and get all this anticipation over with.
Any bets these guys are “serving” truck drivers at the rest stop on Saturday night?
This is, ironically, the gayest thing I’ve seen today.

Here’s a video from the event
Thanks Kurtz
Wasn’t it Pope Oaul XX111 speaking hot the Holy Roman Catholic Church who stated
“ while the Church has the utmost compassion a concernining a parents abject disappointment upon discovering a child is straight ; we feel that it is that parents duty h the o find an appropriate convent or boarding school to ship the wretched ( yet Christin loved) child away to ??
Anyway…. what he said/ me too.
Mark Davis from 660 The Question was too busy to show up?
My question is this; can you be straight if you’re an incel? . . . I mean, how would you know? 🙂
What a sad looking float 🙁 ….Oh wait, that’s a bench
We could always offer to help them plan a proper event. I wonder if they forgot to invite anyone to their parade. Did they forget to get some sponsors to underwrite the costs? So sad, what a waste of time and effort. Maybe they should just stay in Boston.
They shoulda invited Straight Dave ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELZjnIWo9OU
I feel sorry for them. All tarted up and only each other to blow.
