A group of Boston men are planning a "Straight Pride Parade" to mock identity politics and exercise their right to free speech.

The group putting on the event, Super Happy Fun America, said the parade will celebrate the "diverse history, culture, and contributions of the straight community!"

Mark Sahady, one of the organizers, wrote on Facebook they had to file a discrimination complaint with the city to get approved. The parade is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 31.

"If you would like to come as an individual, march as a group, or bring a float or vehicle, then get in touch. This is our chance to have a patriotic parade in Boston as we celebrate straight pride," he said.

Sahady also said in a Facebook comment the group is "poking fun at the identity politics of the left."

"This is also about free speech. In cities with Democratic administrations the 1st amendment rights of those who don't agree with the politics of the left are not respected. We are going to change all of that by using their language against them," he said.

"We want tolerance, and we want tolerance for everybody — not just the LGBTQ community," organizer John Hugo told the Washington Post. He said "a very famous gay conservative" will speak at the event. The group named actor Brad Pitt as the event's mascot.

At the end of the parade, they plan on raising a "straight pride flag" over city hall.

The effort comes as Boston prepares to host its annual weeklong LGBT pride celebration. June marks national LGBTQ Pride Month.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Good for Mark.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Caleb Williams isn't really a "true" rookie because he turned 23 late into his 1st season in the NFL!"

Super Happy Fun America sounds like a terrible combo special at a dingy Chinese takeout place.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Bob Kraft is going to have a float in this right?

do you like your Budweiser in the can?

It must be tough living in a city renowned for its acceptance of gay people like Boston.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Yeah it must be really tough on them to live in a major American city. Boston is super intolerant with all of its universities.

What are you talking about?

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

LBGT people should be more grateful to straight people without whom they wouldn't exist.

It's clearly stated.

Got it.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Universities are intolerant of straight people?

Was that the point? Or universities cause it's attendees and the surrounding areas to become intolerant of straight people?

Lots of straight folks scared of gay folks

"straight" folks
