There's been an update in this story, the hate preachers at the heart of the Cal Anderson police riot are now attempting to sue the City of Seattle over what they claim is religious bias.

The city didn't allow them to hold their event in a location on Pike st where there wasn't room. The church says, that was one point of bias ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Once the cops rioted, the event was shutdown by the city. The church also says bias there too.

The lawsuit claims Mayday USA was denied a permit to hold its event along Pike Street due to bias over their religious beliefs.

Trouble brewing in disfunctional @mayorofseattle office with โ€œapprovalโ€ of Christian Nationalist rally against LGBTQ+ people in Cal Anderson park in LGBTQ+ neighborhood of Capital Hill. Last time, in May of this year there was a police riot against protesters of this event. Now Feucht and Co. are back for more. Good discussion.

Barring a last-minute change of heart, the city plans to allow the Labor Day weekend event to take place alongside pro-LGBTQ counter-programming.

So um... let me tell you... painting over in the dubest possible way a gorgeous art installation featuring a rainbow color pallete just a month after PRIDE in Seattle's gayest neighborhood which is named after a well liked gay politician was not particularly popular.
