'Straight Pride Parade' organizers say they received suspicious envelopes in the mail. They were full of glitter

(CNN) — The FBI and Massachusetts state police are investigating after three members of a group that plans to hold a "Straight Pride Parade" in Boston next month reported receiving suspicious packages in the mail Monday.

At least three parade organizers received envelopes in the mail with no return address, one of the organizers, Samson Racioppi, said.

Racioppi is part of the group Super Happy Fun America, which has applied for a permit to host a "Straight Pride Parade" in Boston in August.

He told CNN he discovered the envelope in his mailbox around 1:30 p.m. Monday and called the police because of its strange appearance.

Sahady said he was later told by an officer that the envelope contained glitter and a handwritten letter.

If any of them touched the glitter, it would probably turn them gay. That's just science, and everybody knows that. Lucky these bold men of action turned the unopened envelopes over to the cops before any of them got contaminated.

On the other hand, glitter is super happy fun, so maybe someone was just trying to support these feckless chaps, who seem neither happy nor fun, let alone super.
