Mainstream cultural acceptance won't protect LGBTQ people from political persecution or extremist violence.
On Saturday, 31 men linked to the white nationalist group Patriot Front piled into a U-Haul truck in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Carrying shields, helmets, a smoke grenade, and long metal poles, they set off for a Pride event in a nearby park.
According to the local police chief, these men, who had traveled from a dozen different states, had written documents : Prepared for a riot, they would enter the park, antagonize Pride attendees, and set off smoke grenades as soon as someone tried to stop them.It never came to pass, fortunately. After a 911 caller reported seeing a group dressed like “a little army” pack into the U-Haul at a local hotel, cops stopped the truck and arrested the men on the misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to riot.
, Dulce said the men “got right in our faces” and “attempted to escalate to violence” before a security guard escorted Dulce out of the room.
