It’s Pride Month, rainbow flags are flying high. Here in the Other Washington (the state), even our little downtown of several blocks sports the colorful banners. We live on the cusp of the state’s Cascade east/west divide. Our end of the county is deep purple, but you need to drive just a few miles east to be in MAGA country.

Moses Lake is an oasis in central Washington. A family was motoring on the lake, their boat decked out with Pride flags, when they were harassed by two men and a woman on another boat. At first, the flag fliers thought the people were yelling support, but as they got closer, the woman was flipping them off, and they were yelling about gays and flags. Then they raced around the flag boat half a dozen times, screaming their fool heads off, and finally sped away when they noticed one of the Pride guys had his phone out. That’s when Karma hit big time. As they raced away, their boat EXPLODED! And they were rescued by…the Pride Guys.

The account that made the WaPo is fantastic, complete with video and quotes from the Pride Guys.
