The “pride” parade in New York City on Sunday was a mass of protests and chaos.
Anti-Israel demonstrators blocked the parade route and attacked floats.
They sat in the street and chanted “Free Palestine” and “From the sea to the river, Palestine will be free,” according to Fox News.
Counterprotesters were also in evidence to push back against the LGBT narrative.
