#ProudBoys hashtag on social media with images of LGBTQ+ pride, displacing posts made by neo-Nazis and white supremacists using the tag.Proud Boys, a far-right group founded in 2016, calls itself a ‘white chauvinist’ organisation.
The group was in the news after President Donald Trump failed to condemn them during the presidential debate last week, instead telling them to “stand back and stand by,” which many group members took as an endorsement.
