A little bit of karma to make you smile. Trump may be back (God help us) but it looks like the Proud Boys aren't going to be with him.
From The Huffington Post:
A Black church in Washington, D.C., now owns the “Proud Boys” trademark after a judge stripped it from the right-wing group in a judgment Monday. The ruling gives the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church complete control over the group’s name and symbols, including the ability to monetize them as they see fit.
Judge Tanya Jones Bosier of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia awarded the trademark after the group failed to pay a $2.8 million default judgment given in 2023 when they didn’t show up in court. Should the church so choose, it’s now free to sell, transfer and license the Proud Boys trademark, including a black and yellow wreath logo with “PB” in the middle. Proud Boys chapters across the country can no longer use the name or iconography either, unless granted approval by the church.
. . .Church leaders filed suit after Proud Boys members vandalized the house of worship during a violent Dec. 12, 2020, “Million MAGA March” in support of Donald Trump after he lost the presidential election that year.
For those who aren't aware, the Proud Boys is a creepy, homophobic, racist group which associated itself with Donald Trump during his first term in office.
I personally think the group has some homoerotic tendencies. Its founder and former leader, Gavin McInnes, shoved a dildo up his own rear to supposedly prove that he wasn't homophobic.
Or something like that.
