"Straight Pride Parade" organizers get letters filled with glitter — and a bomb squad responded

The organizers of a controversial "Straight Pride Parade" planned in Boston this summer said they received suspicious letters, prompting a response from the FBI, three fire departments and the Massachusetts State Police bomb squad. They turned out to be filled with glitter, CBS Boston reported.

Parade organizer John Hugo said he and two other members of Super Happy Fun America, an advocacy group for "straight rights," received letters they deemed suspicious. They did not open them and called authorities.

"We, of course, called the police, I mean why would we open something like that," Hugo told CBS Boston. "Even if it's nothing in it, it's still terrorism as far as I'm concerned because obviously it's meant to intimidate us."

How dare we question the superiority of the gay movement. We straight folks should just bow down. This must end

LOL Glitter Wars. Now there is a reality show. Everything these days seems like an obtuse surreal reality show. Everyone competing for followers and ratings and championing this that and the other butt hurt cause right or wrong. It's like Jr. High School elections and petty cheer leading politics. That's fake this is real attacks on this person that person these people and those other people. I thought anti psychotic drugs were all the rage these days ? Have people stopped taking them ? At first it was comically amusing but now it has become a norm.
