Suspicious substance mailed to 'Straight Pride' organizers turns out to be ... glitter

Anonymous envelopes sent to members of ‘Super Happy Fun America’ who believe straight people are an ‘oppressed majority’

Organizers of Boston’s so-called “Straight Pride” march have revealed that threatening envelopes posted to them and which prompted them to call law enforcement turned out to be full of nothing more hazardous than glitter.

The suspicious envelopes, filled with a “granular substance”, were addressed to three members of “Super Happy Fun America”, a group whose membership have previously organized and attended events, some of which have turned violent and who have links to far-right figures.

One of the recipients, Mark Sahady, is known as the leader of the Boston chapter of a group called Resist Marxism, an organization described by the Daily Beast as the new organization as a “front for [the] far-right group”.

Racioppi lamented the “violence” they received at the hands of the anonymous glitter-sender.

“I wouldn’t wish this for anyone,” he said.
