A “straight pride“ event gathered just three supporters in Dallas, who waved their flag and argued with counter-protesters nevertheless.

Two members of Super Happy Fun America (SHFA), a group advocating for “straight rights”, turned up to protest after claiming the original event had been postponed in a series of Facebook videos.

The men were seen confronting counter-protesters carrying transgender pride flags who approached them.

“Are you a heterophobe?” one asked while filming a video later posted on SHFA’s Facebook page.

The other claimed he had been sacked from his job “for being straight”.

SHFA said a planned larger rally fell through after its organisers, Protecting our Next Generations, were “unfairly treated” by Dallas city officials who asked them to pay thousands of dollars for a permit, which would cover security costs.

The two men said they decided to turn up anyway to “express freedom of speech”.

“I knew that attendance would be low, but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw that it was just them,” activist Soraya Colli told the LGBTQ magazine Advocate.

Ms Colli said the pair were later joined by another supporter and a woman who later “rebuked” them.

“They really believe anti-fascists are out there throwing bricks and beating up Trump supporters,” Ms Colli said, “but instead it was LGBT allies with rubber chickens and cowbells to drown them out.”
