Founder of Straight Pride Parade Just Accidentally Told the Truth About What His Group Is Really All About, and People Can't Stop Mocking Him

Founder of Straight Pride Parade Just Accidentally Told the Truth About What His Group Is Really All About, and People Can't Stop Mocking Him

Whoops!

Former Senate candidate Don Grundmann and his group, the National Straight Pride Coalition (NSPC), announced last month intentions to hold a straight pride rally in its home town of Modesto, California.

Despite the NSPC's website claiming to celebrate the "inherent superiority" of whiteness and heterosexuality, Grundmann insisted its members aren't racist.


Until he didn't.

At a recent city council hearing regarding the NSPC's rally permit, Grundmann accidentally told councilmembers that the NSPC was a "peaceful, racist group," eliciting heavy laughter from the crowd.

Watch below:

Grundmann was accusing Councilwoman Kristi Ah You, who hasn't kept her criticisms of the event secret, of pulling "the race card."

He continued:

"You pulled the race card to justify attacks against us in that park. When they come, you're going to turn right around and say we deserved it. We haven't done anything. We're a totally peaceful racist group."

Ah You, along with the rest of the observers, descended into raucous laughter and applause, leaving Grundmann unable to reclaim his point. The laughter continued on Twitter:

But not everyone was laughing.

Grundmann isn't the only straight pride advocate with skeletons in his not-closet. Another straight pride parade in Boston has also been linked to far-right and white supremacist groups.

Funny how that works.

That’s right: between the swag, panels, and trailer drops, fans were invited to “meet” Lee, who passed away in 2018 at age 95, via a digital stand-in programmed to chat like the real thing.

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.
