Dozens of 'Straight Pride' advocates who support President Donald Trump marched in Boston on Saturday as hundreds of counter-demonstrators blasted them as being homophobic extremists.

As the hundreds-strong processions ended outside City Hall in one of America's most liberal cities, people from the two camps stood close enough to yell in each other's faces and in a few instances threw coffee cups and soil at each other. But there was no serious violence.

Police with batons and gas masks stood by in formation, ready to snuff out any trouble.

A couple of counter-demonstrators scuffled with police and threw dirt and eggs at them. One protester was seen being detained.

A group calling itself Super Happy Fun America organized the 'Straight Pride' parade in response to the hugely popular gay pride parades that take place in US cities every year.

Super Happy Fun America's website says Saturday's march is to 'spread awareness of issues impacting straights,' describing heterosexuals as 'an oppressed majority' in Massachusetts, the first US state to legalize same-sex marriage.

Critics say the 'Straight Pride' organizers are white-supremacists whose intent is to bait members of the LGBT community in Boston.

'The organizers of the Straight Pride Parade have long and well-documented ties to white supremacists and anti-immigrant movements,' a protester said to CBS News. 'In general, they are fascists who believe that they are the only acceptable type of being.'

The marshal of the 'Straight Pride' rally was Milo Yiannopoulos, a prominent and provocative member of the far-right movement in the U.S. who has been banned from several social media sites. He also happens to be gay.

'Honestly, as a gay man, I have been embarrassed and attacked by my fellow homosexuals for most of my life, and these people feel like home.'

He added that he stands for traditional Christian family values -- 'even if I don't always live them.'

Yiannopoulos sported a bedazzled hat that said 'Make America Straight Again.'

Counter-protesters showed up in droves in an attempt to show their declaration of self-love.

'We're here to celebrate our community. We're here to show up in the face of hate with love and joy,' one man told CBS News. 'We should celebrate our differences and celebrate the ways in which people from all backgrounds have contributed to this country.'
