“Straight Lives Matter” and “its great to be straight” say some early arrivals at the #StraightPrideParade.

Follow this thread today to get live coverage. If I am not posting here, it’s probably because I’m live at Facebook.com/n2sreports.

The “Trump Unity Bridge” has arrived.

This guy is wearing a Cuban flag on his hat, and a “Honkler” pin on the other side.

Signs brought by organizers.

“It’s great to be straight” and “Thank you @marty_walsh”

On the other side:

This guy “identifies as a shark” he says.

People shouted “Clown Lives Matter” as two clowns arrived.

“Make normalcy normal again” says these signs that just showed up at the #StraightPride parade.

This guy who is driving in the “parade” has his license plate covered with words “Blue Lives Matter.”

Speaker / lawyer for the group excited the crowd by describing a lawsuit he filed to force cops to protect their march.

He says he’ll drop it if cops work to their satisfaction or expand it if cops fail to.

Ironically, a cop told me to collapse and put away my tripod right after that clip. Everything else will be handheld.

About to go live fb.

Milo has arrived.

My first livestream basically showed the march that got the SPP folks to their staging area. Only some people got in, and cops blocked a ton from entering.

I spent about an hour trying to get in, and just did.

Activists not starting until cops let their friends in.

Apparently they’ll be starting “soon” with the National Anthem.

Counter demo is about 30 meters from the main stage, according to my auto lens.

About to go live at Facebook.com/n2sreports. Raw, live video means you see EVERYTHING no matter what.

The event has ended. The #StraightPrideParade participants left.

At the primary counter-demo spot, a handful of activists remain, sandwiched by cops. They’re kettled in on three sides but have one exit.

A bit of action remains. Going to go live again.

Things went haywire here on the anti-“Straight Pride” side. I was speaking with @VerminSupreme when suddenly a person was arrested in the intersection.

I ran over, cops pointed mace at people, and behind me threw down @RodWebber, who was shouting in pain and taken away.

Importing all this footage will take forever, but I wanted to get this up HD quick because it is IMPORTANT. Retweet/watch to the end.

Documentarian/activist @RodWebber (made a film re @VerminSupreme) was thrown down/arrested when he didn't move while filming cops.

It seems @RodWebber was in serious pain and couldn't get himself up after it happened.

Just discovered: @RodWebber was live-streaming when he was arrested. Watch here: m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

To be clear on previous tweet, it seems he basically was filming the police and started to leave, which is what the cops had ordered. It’s not obvious to me why they did this at all.

I was behind the cop like that ran at him. No idea why they wouldn’t do it to people around me.

Ok, I'm at my Airbnb. Let's keep looking at some video. I'll be jumping around a bit. At the #StraightPrideParade rally itself, @adamkokesh gave a controversial speech. "The culture war is less useful than masturbating" he proposed, including his audience.

Here is the full @adamkokesh speech. I wanted to get that out in full so people can understand his attendance, which confused a lot of people and still seems to continue to.

By the end, many wanted him off the stage, but several hugged him.

Jumping to the beginning, Milo was asked before the march about why he was there. He called it a "wonderful cause" and added that he doesn't see the group as homophobic, just "anti-c**t."

Here's a look at the first part of the parade, where there were significantly less counter protesters.

Toward the beginning they crossed paths with @VerminSupreme, and one spit at him, calling him a "fascist."

Other than police, I think this is the only physical violence I personally witnessed all day from any civilian.

"You're the really f****t. You know who you are, b***h. F**k you!" offered one counter-protester against the #StraightPrideParade

"F*** you, you f***ing piece of s***"" one black-bloc clad activist told a SPP participant dressed as santa, who replied that somebody needs to give him a bath.

The guy dressed as a sharked added to the diologue, saying that "Donald Trump is your president."

This clip of two clowns is too absurd to summarize. Just watch it.

Things got a little more serious at this point, when one counter-protester was arrested and rushed into a police van (I didn't see the original moment of arrest). You'll hear a sequence of clicking sounds in this clip, which are cops expanding their batons.

Bringing everything a little full circle. Remember the earlier tweet where @VerminSupreme got spit on?

Here's me asking him about that, and you'll see at the end of the clip how the police moved in and the chaos beginning, seconds before @RodWebber's arrest.

Hey guys. Noticed a mistake on my part, wanted to correct myself: Earlier in the scuffle, I said I saw one person arrested ahead of Rod Webber. Indeed, there were two people being arrested in addition of Rod, three total.

Here's my full HD video of the march itself:

Milo Yiannopoulos claimed in his speech that straights "are the most brutally oppressed minority in the western world."

Full speech:
