@surgephilly: Baltimore Pride event organizers ordered armed guards to follow me around at the Pride festival in Baltimore, Maryland. The guards acted as a LGBTQ+ gestapo when they approached me demanding that I turn my camera off and leave the event. I refused and asserted my constitutionally protected rights to document demonstrations and exist on public property. Once tensions started to escalate, I informed a police officer about the situation. The officer told the goons that they were not allowed to follow me. They then admitted that they were just following orders from the Baltimore Pride event organizers. Do you think these “security guards” were trying to intimidate me?
