George Takei continues to be an internet treasure, especially in the arena of defeating hate.
I wonder if the BTS and TikTok kids can help LGBTs with this. What if gay guys took pictures of themselves making out with each other or doing very gay things, then tagged themselves with #ProudBoys. I bet it would mess them up real bad. #ReclaimingMyShine

Within the day, the hashtag #ProudBoys had a decidedly different flavor than the last few years, as it had been completely reclaimed by the beauty of gay love, acceptance, and celebration.

Seeing all these happy couples co-opt the #ProudBoys hashtag is awesome. From hateful jackbooted dip shits to people in love. Nothing could be nicer. @VP Pence, you will love this, check it out.

How much would you pay to see the neo-Nazi freakout about this thing of beauty?
