AOC Bashes Boston Straight Pride Parade For Having Few Accompanying Females

https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-bashes-boston-straight-pride-parade-having-few-accompanying-females-1457113

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a swipe not necessarily at the city of Boston, but at the men marching in the town's Straight Pride parade Saturday. Commenting on a tweeted video that shows mostly men with a few women marching, AOC said it looks like the men might have a "masculinity" problem.

"For men who are allegedly so "proud" of being straight, they seem to show real incompetence at attracting women to their event," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Seems more like a "I-Struggle-With-Masculinity" parade to me. Hope they grow enough over the next year to support / join LGBTQ fam next #Pride!"

The Boston Pride group last week said the parade was organized by white supremacists whose intention was to attract straight-pride detractors.

"The Straight Pride Parade is organized by a group of white supremacists and is an attempt to bait the Boston LGBTQ community."

found real men or women they prefer and wouldn't be interested in their little parade.

Probably best to ignore them. They hate that.
