    I still can’t wrap my head around the fact there’s a group who intentionally named themselves “proud boys” which somehow isn’t a group for openly gay men. If they weren’t a neo-fascist terrorist organisation I’d think the whole thing was a joke.

      A openly group of gay men should now co-opt the name…make an app and website for it and everything. Pride banners for sale on the site. Bumper stickers, everything.

        That’s such a fucking good idea.

        proudboys.com seems to be a dead site, so IDK if it’s going to be available to buy.

        Edit: I’ve just made the rash decision to purchase theproudboys.org and theproudboys.gay.

        I guess I’ll figure out the best way to design a resources page for LGBTQ+ folks. I’m not even LGBTQ+, but i figured this could be a good way to subvert those fascist assholes.

        This was done on The Other Site a while back. /r/proudboys got taken over and turned into a queer meme page.
