The organizers of Saturday's Straight Pride rally in Modesto, California imagined an event that would draw hundreds of people — and it did, but not in the way they hoped.

美国有人发起异性恋骄傲游行,几乎没人参加

加利福尼亚莫德斯托市的周六异性恋骄傲游行的组织者想出一个活动,以为会吸引数百人参与。游行的确吸引了这么多人,但情况并非如他门所愿。

For the event, organizers originally intended to use the Durrer Barn due to being banned from using a public space. When the owner of the venue found out their intentions, he ordered them to leave, effectively banning them from that space as well.

组织者们被禁止使用公共区域,原本打算将该活动地点设在Durrer Barn,但该店老板发现了他们的用意之后要求他们离开,也不让他们用了。

As a last minute resort, the group staged the event in front of Planned Parenthood on McHenry Avenue.

这群人在最后关头把活动地点设在了位于McHenry大街的美国计划生育协会前面。

“This whole thing was presented to me as a little meeting, and I had no idea it was going to end up like this,” said Leo Durrer, the owner of Durrer Barn.

Durrer Barn的老板Leo Durrer说:“我看整个活动就像个小型会议,我不知道最终会这样结束。”

“I trusted these people wholeheartedly because I did not think they had a mean bone in them. Maybe it's a really good lesson for me to check things out better in the future.”

“我完全相信这些人,我不认为他们骨子里就很刻薄,可能对我来说这真是一个教训,以后要好好了解情况。”

Police reported that 200 people were present outside the Planned Parenthood. And while this could be seen as a win, only about 20 of those were supporters of Straight Pride. The rest: the LGBT+ community and its allies who had come to protest.

警察报告称有200人出现在美国计划生育协会外面,虽然活动看起来很成功,但这些人中只有20人支持“异性恋骄傲”,其他人都是LGBT+人群和支持者,都是来抗议的。

In contrast, an estimated 250 people attended a vigil on Friday at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church to celebrate Modesto's diversity ahead of the Straight Pride event. That event was organized in part by Matthew Mason, the gay son of Modesto Straight Pride co-organizer Mylinda Mason. Mason had previously come out against the Pride.

相反,在异性恋骄傲游行之前估计有250人参加周五在圣保罗圣公会教堂的集会庆祝莫德斯托市的多样化。这个集会有一部分是由同性恋人士Matthew Mason组织的,他是莫德斯托市异性恋骄傲游行的共同组织者Mylinda Mason的儿子。Mason此前曾站出来反对这个异性恋骄傲游行。
