Outrage around proposed Modesto 'straight pride parade'
An application to hold the event later this summer has thrust a California city into a national debate over "straight pride," as a similar event that started out as a joking skewer of liberal "identity politics" heads toward reality in Boston. Last month, Boston approved the permit application and route of an August straight-pride parade that many called a mockery of gay activism. Organizers insisted they "don't hate anyone" and are trying to draw attention to "heterophobia."
