Jeering from the sidewalks at members of the parade and vice versa, during the mile and a half walk from Copley Square to Boston City Hall today as the Straight Pride event took place.

At midday the procession started its journey. Members of the Super Happy Fun America movement were confident and merry, talking about the need for parades like this.

“I think this is about mocking the overly politically correct [society],” said Florida Lawyer Chris Crowley. “You shouldn’t be afraid.”

Although no official estimate has been taken it looked like 150 to 200 people arrived in support of Straight Pride. Many more lined the streets in protest.

Signs across the barrier ranged from, “If you hate gay people, blame straight people for having gay babies,” to, “F--- Straight Pride.”

“We’re being made to feel abnormal,” said Patrick Lama. “There’s only 10% of gay people, but they force their views on us.”

Lama started to list all the movies and networks that he felt does this, specifically Netflix.

Netflix threatened legal action against the group after they used their logo on advertising for the event.

As the parade moved along Tremont Street, signs from the parade read, “Who gave you life,” and, “Make Normalcy Normal Again.”

Nineteen year-old Chris Estes travelled up from southern Mass. to attend the rally.

“I’m here for a good time,” said Estes. “I wanted to meet like-minded people and there’s people. I spoke to a couple from Texas.”

Coming from a liberal family, Estes has turned the opposite direction and see’s himself as a conservative. Even traveling to the Trump Rally in New Hampshire.

I was nervous about that, but there are a lot more protesters here today,” he added.

“It’s difficult being a Trump supporter and gay,” said Peter Brown who came to the parade with his boyfriend Marky Hutt. Peter has started his own group, “LGBtrump.”

As the procession closed in on City Hall, both groups at one point were walking on the same street, Sudbury St., with no barriers between them and seemed to not know what to do.

Police had lined the streets the entire way and this sudden lack of barrier caught the groups off guard.

Police have been quick to act on any violence and have been swarming the streets around City Hall since early this morning.

A few arrests were made, and a Boston Police spokesperson has said details will be made available later today.

At 2:13 p.m. the speeches started with a national anthem. There was a delay due to a few speakers being denied access to the event by police.

Crowds could be heard outside the police cordon set up, countering the speakers views.
