The community 'is standing together to reject this group and what they represent,' said Max Reed of the Modesto Non-Violent Collective.
A"Straight Pride" rally Saturday in Modesto, California, attracted ten times as many counter-demonstrators as attendees, according to witnesses.
Grundmann's request was ultimately rejected by the council, despite council member Mylinda Mason being a co-organizer for the rally. The council cited"security concerns" and insufficient insurance for the event as its reason for denying the permit. Insisting they were not notified the event was promoting straight pride, the Durrer family promptly shut it down, according to the. Grundmann, however, claimed it was broken up by the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department"for fear of protests and violence."
"Masculinity, femininity, the natural family of man, woman children, babies, born and unborn western civilization, Caucasians and all people—all of those are basic foundations that are under attack," Grundmann toldGrundmann had predicted some 500 attendees, but reports put the number closer to 20.
