On Saturday, June 07th, 2008, the NSM WI Southeast Unit hosted a protest of the filthy festival known as Pridefest in downtown Milwaukee, WI. Pridefest has been known as the second largest gay and lesbian festival in the world, and this year was announced as THE largest. We wouldn’t miss this one for the world and to those who did, sucks to be you.
Comrades started to arrive from Illinois, Michigan and Missouri throughout Thursday and Friday. We had some good times making signs for the protest and good meals. We also had the ability to watch all the pre-event media coverage on WISN12 and TMJ4 where SSGT. Borremans of NSM Wisconsin gave some solid phone interviews. The coverage was fair and gave us some good publicity.
Saturday morning we were a little behind schedule with weather issues, but made it to downtown Milwaukee where we passed out leaflets against homosexuality on our way to the main gates of Summerfest for our protest.
The protest kicked off with a slew of queer ARA throwing glittered water balloons across the street, but even with how close they were to us, no one was hit. After the police arrested three of the scumbags, they were able to dismantle their “weapons of mass destruction” by popping the balloons.
The police also did a great job of taking their flags in which they were trying to break down to use the pipes against us. We had some interested locals come by where we were able to chat with and explain our stance to who were very receptive and went home thinking highly of the NSM.
SSGT. Borremans also conducted some other televised interviews which we enjoyed watching on the 10pm news. We had a black preacher man come show his support of us on the moral position we were taking and did a fair interview with him where he admitted to having a problem with Israel and why we were REALLY in Iraq.
Probably the most interesting “visitor” of the day was a woman whom worked at Pridefest who came by to ask us how she could STOP being a lesbian. We can only have hope for this one to repent and change her ways. We passed the megaphone around and told these disgusting people exactly what we thought of them and their festival. We wrapped up around 3pm and headed for the parking structure to take some group photos.
With rain and tornado warnings already under way, we came back to a local home where we watched the news, ordered pizza and knocked back plenty of brews. After a few hours of card games, we hit the hay about 1am.
Here I sit on Sunday morning waiting to take the few out of towners to the bus station thinking how proud I am of the few and proud that had the guts to come out with us yesterday. While slightly disappointed in those who promised yet failed to show up, we had a new addition to the NSM Wisconsin family whose application is in route to state headquarters as we speak.
Again, I am truly proud of those who came from near and far to join us and make this event a huge success. Hope to see those who didn’t get off the fence for this one to make it out to Omaha over the Fourth of July weekend for the mass protest of a furniture company who hires illegals. With camping and concert afterwards, that’s even more incentive to get off your computers and DO something for your Race and Volk.
Hail Victory!
