Elijah Schaeffer covers Boston’s first Super Happy Fun America Straight Pride Parade, where barricades and police in riot gear clash with protesters blocking traffic. Attendees like Vermin Supreme mock left-wing views, while counter-protesters debate systemic racism—one insists only dominant groups can be racist, another calls it a white-benefiting structure. Schaeffer criticizes Vice Media’s one-sided coverage, arguing his interviews expose the parade’s divisive rhetoric and counter-narratives. The event underscores Boston’s culture wars, revealing deep ideological fractures over identity, free speech, and media framing. [Automatically generated summary]

Straight Pride Parade 00:10:10
unidentified
Boston is already prepping for a controversial event tomorrow.
The Straight Pride Parade.
The barricades are already up here at City Hall in preparation for the controversial Straight Pride Parade.
Pride Month is a joyful time for the LGBTQ people.
Thank you so much.
It's silly to say that they need a straight pride parade when candidly, straight pride takes place 365 days a year.
God knew it!
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
The group behind this is called Super Happy Fun America.
Wait a second, have you seen a pride parade?
unidentified
Blurdy and uncut cut because we have to represent everyone, right?
Finally, someone's standing up for straight people.
This is stupid.
I think sexuality is a big, like, it's very important, but I think you can just be whatever you want.
I don't think people need to make like a big deal out of this.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
So we don't need a pride parade either?
unidentified
No, we need a Pride Parade.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Slightly offensive on Blaze TV.
My name is Elijah Schaefer, your favorite host here on YouTube.
We are live in Boston, Massachusetts at the first annual Super Happy Fun America Straight Pride Parade.
Yes, you heard it right.
What we are doing behind us is following two different counter protests on the left and the right.
In between us is the actual straight pride parade, which on the left they are saying is full of hate and anti-gay rhetoric, but on the right they are saying is just to celebrate straightness, which they believe is under attack.
We hope you enjoy the show.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
She is left!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Ho, ho, ho!
So, uh, we're being led by the police right now on my left, which are in riot gear.
The police are wearing lime green, not my favorite color, but hey, it's like a little bunch of black wearing fleckas around here.
unidentified
I can't stand these people.
I mean, I call them Nazis.
I know that might not be the proper term, but that's what they believe in.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
So welcome to the douchebag print.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Douchebag Pride.
unidentified
We are free to be douchebags in America.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
That's what they're doing.
All right.
That's great.
You gotta love Reminiscrem.
unidentified
You have a shark arguing with the man that wears a boot.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Powers are no longer...
It's my First Amendment right to say F you.
But you guys can read it yourself.
That's true.
And so obviously there's different groups here.
Why are you opposing this straight pride parade?
unidentified
This is obviously not okay.
This is altruist, taking to the streets.
I mean, we need to be here and protest.
It's worse than I thought, honestly.
I didn't know they'd have all these like Trump flags and the American thing, because that's kind of saying like to be American is to be straight.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
We have a T-Rex!
T-Rex!
Here's a T-Rex with a Trump flag.
Some people would say this event's a troll event.
Do you feel like that's a true statement?
unidentified
I mean, yeah, probably.
Yeah, but it might be a troll event, but it's obviously like indicative that there are actual like big problems still in this country.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
All right, guys, we are walking along the parade.
We have happy music for Super Happy Fun America, which a lot of people think has a sinister underlying meaning of anti-gay terminology.
This is why we always get demonetized because, well, we have to say the things that YouTube doesn't want us to say, unfortunately.
You make America awful!
Hey, you said hey, man, this obviously makes you very angry.
What are your sentiments about this parade coming through here?
unidentified
My sentiments are that these people are trolling our city.
They're bringing hate to our city and the police are protecting them.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
People say that you guys are full of hate, pushing this agenda of straight pride.
I'm going to cut right in.
What do you feel about those comments?
All kinds of love for everybody.
unidentified
No hate here at all.
Love for everybody.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Is this so?
Obviously the main accusation is that this being a straight pride parade is an anti-gay parade.
What are your thoughts on that statement?
unidentified
Not at all.
Like I said, nothing but love for everybody.
Do what you want.
Follow your own path.
No big deal to me.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
So gay people are welcome here.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Hop over the fence, let the guys let you through whatever you got to do.
Get in here and super happy fun America.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
It's not the narrative I'm hearing wrong on this side.
This does not represent Boston.
These are not people from Boston.
unidentified
These are trolls coming to wreck our city and they should not be allowed.
Well, it's Boston.
It's a leftist asshole country.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
So you're wearing a Make America Great Again hat in the middle of the counter protest.
Why?
You know, I just want to see what people's reactions are.
unidentified
Like, I actually have a podcast, Nipcat Studios.
Nothing's been produced yet.
But yeah, I'm recording everything.
I'm trying to get a conversation to people.
Dinosaurs are gay!
Don't you think dinosaurs are gay?
Why did I do it?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Did you know that dinosaurs were homosexuals?
unidentified
I think if you don't know that, you're probably here.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Dinosaur!
The dinosaur won't talk.
It's tough when you went extinct for millions of years.
I don't really believe that, but I know people crap on me for that one.
Sometimes it feels like the crazy protests on the right and the left sometimes aren't doing as much to unite the country as they just sometimes divide it.
Would you agree with that?
unidentified
I would say so.
Like, a lot of people I've heard are like, what's the big deal?
Why is it a problem to have straight pride?
But really, it's because straight folks have the same protections.
They've had protections that queer folks haven't had or haven't had to fight for.
So that's why this is an issue.
Every day is like a straight pride parade.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Vermin Supreme, the best.
He's popular, guys.
He's popular.
Shark.
Shark.
Can I get a comment, Shark?
unidentified
Yes, please.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
All right, Shark.
So you are in a current altercation with a boot guy who's currently a king.
unidentified
Lick the boot!
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Lick the boot!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Dude, you have too much fun with this.
I like the attitude, man.
I like the energy.
What are your thoughts on Vermin?
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
I wanted him to run for president, but we can't have a king.
This is America.
unidentified
We don't have a king.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
You gave them an offer they can't deny.
You said, Secret ⁇ they could take you up on that.
Would you fulfill it?
Would you fulfill it?
Well, unlikely.
unidentified
I mean, I might whip it out, but I think I kicked them in the teeth maybe when they're they might bite that.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
You know, it could be a trick.
Where's your boot, Vermin?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
You need a boot.
unidentified
It's Bob's booth.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Whenever I see these cameras, they're here with like the- The red camera?
I always know that those are vice or like box or.
All right, so basically what we have on our left is Vice, and we can always tell Vice because they have really expensive cameras, not like our camera.
And what's really important about this is, is you've noticed how Vice is right here in the middle of the straight pride parade, which is essentially mostly right-wingers.
Now, we're, of course, here in the left-wing side, the counter-protests, marching alongside them.
And this is why it's so necessary that we get out to all these events, because there is a media narrative trying to be strung out over there inside to make this seem and spin it in a way that it's not.
And so while people accuse us of trying to spin this, we're just showing the other side that doesn't get any of the coverage.
We're tired of left-wing media only showing one side.
So people say that's bias.
It's not just bias, it's helping bring balance to the narrative in the country so people can watch both and decide for themselves.
unidentified
Vice is always behind you, trying to spin the narrative in the way they want.
V-I-C-E, Vice.
It's the place to go when you think it's nice, but they put their SJW agenda inside.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
I'm just here for the memes, more or less.
Just here for the memes, the clown world memes.
Exactly and so you just thought it would be a good idea to bring this and I've got him behind a shame guy.
Whoa, whoa, here we go, here we go.
unidentified
There's Leono Flix, man.
No Nazis!
No, no, no, I'm trying to do it!
I'm a fascist human.
No Nazis!
No fascist!
Oh, no fashion!
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Can I read your old hat?
unidentified
Can I read your old hat?
Would you lay your head down?
You can read my hat, but that doesn't mean no.
I'm afraid.
I'm going to read your hat.
I really would like to read your hat.
Okay.
Can you explain to me how you're wearing this hat as a young person in America?
I'm wearing this hat because I believe in the opportunity that America gives us.
I believe the left doesn't believe in that.
What opportunities have you taken advantage of in America?
I've taken a lot of advantages of a lot of f ⁇ ing.
I'm sorry.
You know, the opportunity of capitalism that we apologize.
You don't have to know all the answers right now.
That's why you don't have to follow someone who doesn't know them.
He's leading you off.
I have a speech impediment.
That's fair.
Trump makes fun of everyone with disabilities, so he wouldn't wait for you to speech.
You know, he does that all the time.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
It's kind of just his thing, you know?
unidentified
When you see the president of the bank, I mentioned the word regulator.
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
What do you think about ISIS?
unidentified
Oh, ISIS is very dull.
Shut up to Cruz, what do you think of waterboarding?
stephen colbert ▲ ● ▼
Oh, I don't want to talk about it.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Oh, I don't know what I said.
unidentified
I don't remember.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
I think that these people might be my family, even though I just met them.
unidentified
Everybody's fucked off.
I know.
No, please.
Everybody's nervous.
And this is how it goes.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
I like that.
unidentified
I know.
Yes, everybody's first.
Everybody's first.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Everybody's nervous.
unidentified
Who are you?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Slightly offensive.
unidentified
Slightly offensive?
Is that like a name on YouTube or something?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, it's a podcast.
unidentified
It's a podcast?
Yes.
As a white guys, with a podcast like that, what's your stance in the world?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
What's my stance in the world?
unidentified
I'm pretty big or not.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Why are you marching out here today?
unidentified
Because I wanted to see what they have to say.
I'm not an idiot.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
I want to listen to actually what they have to say.
I know I look like I'm on the counterside, but I'm not.
Redefining Racism 00:03:00
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Right, we got a man up here flipping people off.
Sir, you're flipping him off.
You disagree with this parade?
unidentified
Yeah, I disagree with this parade.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
What are the fundamental ideologies?
unidentified
What are the fundamental ideologies?
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, like that, what you would say you guys would differ on.
unidentified
They're hatemongers.
Anyone that's not white, Christian, straight, American in their eyes is excluded.
The black guys, too?
Because I saw the black guys in there.
Do they hate black people?
They don't give a shit about those black people.
The only reason they give a shit about the black people is because they're carrying black guys.
I do too.
And the only reason they will allow them to be there is because they're carrying one of their signs.
You didn't have to earn your privilege to love someone.
You didn't have to earn it.
You're racist.
Why is such a race?
I'm racist?
Yes.
I support you.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Okay, let's switch.
unidentified
Let's switch.
All right.
Now what you're going to say.
Let's switch.
I'm a bigot.
All right.
Race haters.
You got a black woman that can give switch places with me so she cannot be a bigot or a racist?
All right.
Come on.
Please.
You're a racist bigot.
I'm a racist bigot.
Because my black ass can be racist.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Isn't the difference of opinion, the definition of racism?
You guys think racism is discrimination?
They think it's discrimination plus power.
Plus power.
There's a difference.
It's a difference.
It's a difference of idea.
unidentified
Racism is not an opinion.
Racism is a system.
What is the definition of racism?
A system that specifically benefits one group of people.
That group of people can't then come and say, hey, people outside of this group, you are a racist.
I can't benefit from white supremacy.
I can benefit from the patriarchy, which is why the whole bigot committee, all of that is like crazy.
But I acknowledge my privilege as a man.
As a black man, I still acknowledge the system of hierarchy that's working against me.
But for the perpetrators to say, no, this is the definition of this term that's been applied to us.
That's like Nazis coming and saying to Jews, you know you're the Nazis.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
So that's what you're saying, is that they don't, that your guys' definition on the left would be different than their definition on the right, so they're wrong or no?
unidentified
This is my thing.
At what point in time did the dictionary's definition start being second-guessed by people's opinions?
So because this group feels that the definition of this term is different than what the dictionary says, now we have two opposing definitions for one term?
Racism only has one definition.
It only has one group that has benefited by it.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Let's go check out what's going on over there.
I'm gonna check this out.
unidentified
Here we go.
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Hey guys, things just got completely out of hand.
Live Traffic Conflicts 00:00:27
elijah schaffer ▲ ● ▼
Immediately, people are fighting the police now in the Boston Police.
And this is what's happening now at the very end of things.
We are live here on the streets of Boston.
We're keeping you reporting at the front lines.
Here we come.
Look, right into traffic, right into pedestrians.
