I don't know if anyone has been following this but a group in Boston is organizing a straight pride parade.
A gay man will be leading Boston’s “straight pride” parade. Super Happy Fun America, which is organizing the
parade to “advocate on behalf of the straight community,” announced that Milo Yiannopoulos would be the grand
marshal after Brad Pitt made it known he was none too pleased they were using his image to advertise the event.
Pitt “made it clear” to the organizers that they had to stop using his name and likeness, according to the
Hollywood Reporter.
John Hugo, president of Super Happy Fun America, told the Boston Herald that Pitt “was not super happy” that
his image was being used. The group complied and by Friday morning had replaced Pitt’s pictures and mentions
with “redacted” and “censored” signs. It then announced Yiannopoulos, who the group described as “the most
censored and most lied-about man in the world,” would be the “mascot and Grand Marshall of the parade.” Hugo
acknowledged the choice may be a little strange: “I know it’s a little ironic to have a gay conservative as
our icon.”
I think it's down right hilarious.[/FONT]
