‘Straight Pride’ Organizer Indicted by Federal Grand Jury for Alleged Role in January 6 Insurrection
One of the organizers of a Boston anti-LGBTQ “Straight Pride” event has been indicted by a federal grand jury for his alleged role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection.
Mark Sahady, 48, of Malden, Massachusetts, is facing a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding, according to the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Sahady is the vice president of Super Happy Fun America, the organization that held the widely-mocked “Straight Pride” parade in Boston in 2019.
On its website the group claims it “is a right of center civil rights organization focusing on defending the Constitution, opposing gender madness and defeating cultural Marxism.” In reality, the organization’s leaders reportedly have ties to far-right wing extremists.
