A march celebrating “straight pride” outside of an abortion clinic in California devolved into violence as participants clashed with more than 200 pro-LGBTQ and pro-choice counter-protesters, according to a report.

The National Straight Pride Coalition, which organized the event, held for the fourth consecutive year in Modesto on Saturday, described its cause as backing heterosexuality, the “natural nuclear family,” Western civilization, Caucasians, Christianity and nationalism.

The handful of straight pride demonstrators was joined by members of the far-right group Proud Boys outside of a Planned Parenthood building ahead of the rally’s start — and were met by counter-protesters draped in rainbow flags and waving signs reading “Fascists not welcome here,” the Modesto Bee reported.

----------

200 counter-protesters show up to protest a "handful of straight pride demonstrators?" okay, den.

I thought everyone had the right to protest unmolested?

It sounds like the pro-LGBTQ and pro-choice counter-protesters don't agree with that sentiment.

I guess the guy eating a kebob in NYC wasn't so bad after all.

The very fact that the counter protestors were waving signs that said "Fascists not welcome here" is a pretty good indication that the counter protesters were ANTIFA or Communist groups as that's their war cry slogan

What do protestors really accomplish, other than bring a media circus.

I’m not defending the proud boys but tell me how many stores they have looted, how many people they have dragged out of cars and beaten, how many people have the proud boys attacked on the street? That’s going to be a pretty darn short list compared to ANTIFA rioters. Who are the agitators again? Seems like you are looking at the wrong group.

Who started the violence?

The article doesn't say.

Which leads me to believe ... it was the LGBTQ/antifa agitators.

Otherwise they would be screaming about "the proud boys committing violence"

I guess you do remember that the head of the Proud Boys could not enter DC on January 6 because he had been arrested for vandalizing a church?

I can see being for black lives and being anti fascism as positive attributes. The Proud Boys and this 'straight coalition' sure seem to be putting out a more antagonistic view as to other innocent folks. So they are not mirror images.
