https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-bashes-boston-straight-pride-parade-having-few-accompanying-females-1457113New 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!"
<snip>
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."

(4,656 posts)1. Good point. I wonder why there aren't any mostly-women straight pride parades.
I have my theories.

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

Probably best to ignore them. They hate that.
