Hate group designates June "LMNOP+ Month" & the result is predictably gonzo

Hate group leader and former Virginia politician Eugene Delgaudio stars in a hilariously awful video announcing the start of “LMNOP+ Month.”

The letters stand for “Lifestyle of Mainstream Normal Ordinary People,” he said.

Delgaudio’s organization Public Advocate USA was recognized as an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2010. They’re best known for kooky street theater and wild claims that shadowy groups of “homosexuals” have infiltrated the government.

From cheesy opening music (complete with hand-clapping) to the awkward women holding rainbow-colored umbrellas behind him, the video is as ridiculous as the group’s publicity stunt.

Delgaudio makes it a point to tell his followers that he recorded the video in Lafayette Park across from the White House. The area has been the scene of multiple clashes with federal authorities as protesters demand justice for George Floyd, a Black man murdered by a white Minneapolis police officer.

I made it to 1 minute 11 seconds. I got bored. As a gay guy, I found it bland.

When you think about normal enough, it doesn't mean much at all. I have yet to see a "normal" anything and I mean that.
