This is a First Amendment violation, Republicans. You assholes are always whining about being cancelled by private businesses, but are perfectly happy to "cancel" anything they think is too "woke."

get fucked fascists.
Why can’t these assholes just go enjoy their Saturday like everyone else? Always worried about what other people are doing.
Don’t like drag shows? Don’t go! Go fishing or go see a movie. Go buy some Let’s Go Brandon flags. You can do whatever makes you happy as long as it doesn’t interfere with others right to do the same.
Miserable dorks.
Hey, I resent that, I'm a miserable dork! Let's call them precisely what they are: close minded, freedom-hating, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, fascistic douche canoes.
Which is especially ironic since right parties usually were more about not letting the government mess with peoples shit...
If the GOP didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any at all.
They go on and on about the first amendment, moan about private businesses even treading near to their first amendment right, but yet they're more than happy to curbstomp everybody else's they disagree with. Dirty bigoted hypocrites.
Laws for them exist only to be used against those they don't like. That's the bottom line.
And fuck every official (low level cop or not) who needs a judge to tell them they can’t mess with this parade.
I'm sure the cops will harass them anyway.
If you don't like gay, stay away and just let them partay
Fear queers? Then just steer clear and you'll miss their top tier cheers!
For any interested. I’m from Blount County. I went to pride. It was a great time. Love kindness and friendship all around.
An acquaintance working the checkin booth said they caught one of the known instigators trying to sneak in, but apart from that, everything went great.
Also, just saying, but their motto this go around was spectacular - “There’s pride in them/their hills.”
