Pro-Trump Gays Banned from Pride Parade

Written by Teunis Felter

Members of a gay, pro-Donald Trump group in North Carolina are considering taking legal action after they were prohibited from participating in the upcoming “Charlotte Pride” festival and parade. A Charlotte Pride spokesperson said the organization reserves the right to deny applications from groups that “do not reflect the mission, vision and values of our organization.”  Brian Talbert, of Gays for Trump, said his group shouldn’t be vilified for supporting the president. Charlotte Pride’s statement invited “all” people who “share our values” to attend the Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade.
