White nationalist group interrupts Detroit pride event, members appear to urinate on Israeli flag

[RandySF]

A group of white nationalists marched on an LGBTQ event in Detroit on Saturday, demonstrating Nazi salutes and carrying weapons.

Members of the National Socialist Movement (NSM) caused outrage at the event meant to celebrate gay pride, and one member was photographed appearing to urinate on an Israeli flag.

The Motor City Pride is described on its Facebook event page as the largest pride month event in Michigan, with 40,000 people marked as attending. On Saturday, some individuals tried unsuccessfully to stop the NSM group from entering the streets, which were blocked off by police and lined with rainbow flags.

NSM members were photographed tearing apart one of the flags, which represent gay pride.

The group is considered one of the largest neo-Nazi organizations in the United States and is known for "theatrical and provocative protests," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

1. It was bound to happen.

While I am sure it upset many people, I am sure some were a little titillated. Good thing no one was hurt physically. I am sure we will be assaulted with claims of these assholes real secret desires, after all, homophobes are never straight.

NEVER straight.

3. I'm surprised that none of the Nazi were beat up by LGBTQ supporters and/or restrained by the ...

police (it wasn't the Nazi's demonstration so they were there illegally?, interfering with an sanctioned parade already in progress, and not doing it peacefully (destruction of property, the flag)). The anger that is in LGBTQ ranks is still there, from years of being knocked down by those outside the community.

4. "Economic anxieties" strike again...
