Summary
A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.
Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.
Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.
The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.
No arrests were made.
I saw that way differently. In my reading they converted a homophobic slur into one that targets the kind of people who are not gay, but do really hate being called that. Therefore using the term for something that is deserving of public shaming and were people absolutely have a choice of being that way.
They called a largely homophobic group of men who like to be clad in leather and be surrounded by big manly men by a word that they would truely be dispised being called. It would be hilarious and beneficial if that usage of the word would become the new norm and people calling motorbros ‘fags’ instead of gay people.
I don’t think many LGBT people would be mad at nog being called fags, but instead the term referring to hells angels roleplayers.
