Pride Karma

June 04, 2021 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

This was written by Fenway Fran – a founding member of my band, Bitchin’ Betty and the Sequined Backhoes.  She moved to Washington state and I’ll be damned if anybody knows why.

 

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.

    Great to see you posting here Juanita! This story gets even better… Apparently as the boat driver was jumping off his fiery boat, It was obvious to everyone that he had shit his bathing trunks! The boat with the gay flags, the one which had been harassed, had to go fish these jackasses out of the water. I wonder if they told the driver that he and his shitty drawers weren’t allowed on their boat!

    Oh, and this will shock precisely no one. Once rescued, the jackasses behaved very rudely on the gay boat, and when the sheriff deputies arrived, the jackasses didn’t even bother to thank the rescuers. No class trash!

    Must have been the BLM naval commandos again.
    Or god working in not so mysterious ways?
    MAGAs and boats are a dangerous combo it seems.

    There is nothing better than Lady Karma when she strikes early and often! However, like housebreaking a puppy, unless removed from the scene before the accident, they won’t learn. That boat needed to go down the second those Qcumbers merely “thought” about harassing the very same boat that rescued their underserving butts.

    Hope those Qcumbers were cited for every boating safety violation available.

    Celebrate Pride Month with same sex marriage legal being in all 50 states since 2015! Still work to be done until job, housing and other discrimination ends against the LGBTQ, women and persons of color. We need a big Blue Wave in 2022 to spread that 14th Amendment to everyone. We can’t spell freedom without equity and equality.

    Jane and PKM, what we really need is for folks to mind their own damn business.

    Welcome to the joint, Fenway Fran. Your bandname alone suggests you’ll fit right in here.

    I saw the story and would have rejected it as just too pat to believe. Looks like there’s been verification now. Law requires any boat or ship nearby to render aid … but it’s interesting to consider what would have happened if the positions had been reversed. First, it’s hard to believe any LGBQT party would harass another boat, as lazrgrl’s principle would indicate. But would the magats have rendered aid if they had been harassed and then the other boat caught fire and sank?

    Exploding boat? Was Mark Trail the one who soiled his swimsuit?
