\u201cStraight Pride\u201d is officially coming to California<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Straight<\/p>\n

City officials in Modesto, California say they are considering granting a permit for a \u201cStraight Pride\u201d event scheduled for next month.<\/p>\n

Organizer Don Grundmann from the National Straight Pride Coalition tells his local news station that the event is his group\u2019s \u201ccultural answer\u201d to \u201canyone that supports the LGBTQ lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially it boils down to two religious views of the world,\u201d Grundmann says. \u201cOne is Christianity, which is represented by heterosexuality, a culture of life, and its opponent is the LGBT movement, which is represented by an opposing religion and an opposing view of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Grundmann, who calls<\/a> drag queen story hours \u201cmutilation of children,\u201d has been circulating flyers around town that say: \u201cJoin us to celebrate heterosexuality, masculinity, femininity, babies\u2013born and unborn\u2013western civilization, our wonderful country, Christianity\u2013Celebrate Life!\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is scheduled for August 24, one week before the \u201cStraight Pride\u201d event in Boston.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been fired from a job for being straight? Have you been banned from the USA for being Christian? No? That\u2019s because it\u2019s Straight pride day EVERY DAY.<\/p>\n

City officials say their phones have been \u201cringing off the hook\u201d with people opposing the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been getting letters, emails, comments, and phone calls<\/a> all day about it,\u201d says city council member Kristi Ah You.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ah You adds that, while she supports free speech and first amendment rights, but doesn\u2019t support the idea of a \u201cStraight Pride\u201d event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if we ignored it and let the people do whatever they\u2019re going to do, I think maybe four or five people would show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, city spokesman Thomas Reeves says it may be required by law to grant the permit even though they disagree with the event.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cSo although the city does not share in the beliefs of some groups that choose to hold their events here, we may not be able to deny a permit based on an organization\u2019s values,\u201d Reeves said.<\/p>\n
