Last month, Political Fun Time's hometown of Modesto, CA experienced the world's very first "straight pride" event, organized by far-right chiropractor/failed political candidate Don J. Grundmann and his sidekick Mylinda Mason, and attended by proud boys, biker chuds, and the alpha-male himself Jesse Lee Peterson!
For this episode we are joined by Max of the Central Valley Pride Center, a counter-organizer who did great work organizing the community against the fascists, and Abner, a UC Berkeley School of Journalism graduate who runs the independent journalism outlet Left Coast Right Watch and did excellent coverage of the whole event.
