Neo-Nazis protested an LGBTQ Pride event in Wisconsin, carrying swastika flags and shouting homophobic slurs. The group disrupted the event with chants of "Us or the pedophiles" and "There will be blood." Police quickly intervened, and organizers emphasized the support they received from law enforcement, religious leaders, and the LGBTQ community. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers condemned the protest, calling it a direct attack on the LGBTQ community, communities of color, and Jewish Wisconsinites. Instances of anti-LGBTQ protests and threats have been on the rise, particularly targeting drag events, according to GLAAD.
