GAY PRIDE PARADE JUNE 29, 2008
Anti-Gay Fascists Successfully Confronted at Chicago Gay Pride Parade
For several years now the end of the Pride Parade has been harassed by a fascist group called “Street Preachers,” who aim to construct an anti-gay, anti-women theocratic dictatorship in the United States.
They dress up their wish that all Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transgender people be murdered with Biblical quotes like “the wages of sin are death.”
GLN and others have counter demonstrated against fascist Street Preachers in past years, but decided that more effective action was needed this year. But just as we were getting ready to deploy our “remedy” to the Preachers, a Midwestern cloud burst again poured buckets of water on the parade and threatened to ruin the whole action.
A 400-square foot banner eclipses the fascist anti-gay bigots. Bash Back drummers kept up a thunderous pounding and ANSWER chanted endlessly to drown out the “Christian” rants of the Street Preachers behind the banner.
As the rest of the 320-contingent parade went by huge cheers went up for the successful action against the bigots who had for so many years taunted the parade.
Original air date on CAN-TV, cable access in Chicago: July 11, 2008.
