A group has applied for a permit to hold a “straight pride” parade in Modesto next month.
The city is in the final stages of reviewing the application for the event, which is slated for Aug. 24 at Graceada Park, said Thomas Reeves, community and media relations officer for Modesto. A decision is expected next week.
Fliers advertising the Modesto parade began circulating about a week ago, both in downtown Modesto and via social media, drawing the attention of the Modesto Progressive Democrats’ Facebook page. In addition to advocating for Christianity and a return to what he calls “old-fashioned American values,” his platform includes abolishing the IRS, the Federal Reserve System and the U.S. Department of Education; eliminating the federal income tax; and banning the vaccination of children.Grundmann also describes himself as director of the National Straight Pride Coalition, which is backing the event.
Should that approval happen, Modesto residents plan to stage a simultaneous demonstration across the street in Enslen Park.
