Notably, Proud Boys\u2019 chairman, Enrique Tarrio, posted on Parler: \u201cStanding by Sir\u2026 I will stand down Sir!!\u201dThe debate clip has also been spread on Telegram, and the phrase \u201cstand back, stand by\u201d has been incorporated into the group\u2019s logo.As such, members of the LGBTQ+ community decided to take things into their own hands by redefining the term Proud Boys, associating it with gay pride, love and acceptance.Who are the Proud Boys?The Proud Boys are a far-right, anti-immigrant, all-male group with a history of street violence against its left-wing opponents. The group was founded in 2016 by Canadian-British right-wing activist Gavin Mclnnes.Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have banned the Proud Boys from their platforms. Since then, the Proud Boys have taken to lesser-known media outlets to share their sentiments online.How did the Proud Boys react?Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the Proud Boys group, told CNN he was not sure what social media users were trying to achieve.\u201cI think it’s hysterical,” said Tarrio. \u201cThis isn’t something that’s offensive to us. It’s not an insult. We aren’t homophobic. We don’t care who people sleep with.\u201dHe also added, \u201cOne of the messages they want to send with this is that they’re trying to drown out our supporters, they’re trying to silence us. When you\u2019re trying to drown out other people\u2019s thoughts, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything progressive about that.\u201dThe group has also since renamed themselves the Leather Men. McInnes explained the rationale behind the new name: \u201cWe Proud Boys stand up for Western Chauvinism and political violence, but we can\u2019t allow ourselves to be associated with all this gay content. That\u2019s why we\u2019re changing our group\u2019s name to something manly and tough, with cool matching leather jackets that could never be misconstrued.\u201dOne of the group\u2019s members, Marcus Smith, was particularly excited about the new name. \u201cJust imagine how cool it\u2019ll look when a bunch of us dudes show up to a bar together all wearing badass leather.\u201dHowever, LGBTQ+ Twitter was equally quick to react, and took over the hashtag #LeatherMen with images of gay couples donned in leather.Online retailers are also distancing themselvesThe gay community isn\u2019t alone in protesting the Proud Boys. Retailers such as Etsy, Amazon, eBay and Teespring have begun to remove Proud Boys merchandise from their websites.A representative from Etsy confirmed in an interview with The Verge that merchandise with the \u201cstand back and stand by\u201d slogans have been removed, saying that \u201cSellers on Etsy agree to follow our policies, which prohibit, among other things, hate against protected identities, attempting to incite violence against individuals or groups. We actively monitor the site and review and remove merchandise that violates our policies.\u201dAlthough the Proud Boys merchandise had long been banned from the site, the representative mentioned that prohibited items do occasionally slip through the company\u2019s filters."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"International","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/international\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Gay Community Reclaims #ProudBoys to Stomp Out Hate","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/international\/gay-community-reclaims-proudboys-to-stomp-out-hate\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
