The originating article is from The Beaverton, a Canadian SATIRE ON LINE SITE
(wiki-The Beaverton is a primarily online Canadian news satire publication, based in Toronto, Montreal and Whitehorse.[1] It features news stories, editorials, vox populi and other formats (such as university reviews) whose structure and layout mirror those of conventional newspapers but whose content is contorted to make humorous commentary on Canadian and world issues)
The article that was picked up by twitter and passed around is here-https://www.thebeaverton.com/2020/10/as-gay-twitter-reclaims-proudboys-hashtag-proud-boys-change-name-to-leather-men/
Captain Truth in post 17, provided the info that it was from a satire site, I am grateful that s/he provided this.

It smelled like conspiracy: a former male escort who was going by a fake name and had somehow obtained White House press passes on a regular basis was covering briefings for an obscure right-wing news outfit, and had even gotten to question the president. Suddenly, the blogosphere latched onto Gannongate, exposing the sordid details of the 48-year-old zealots life. Gannons motive was simpleto become a playerand his fate now hangs in the ever narrowing gap between disgrace and a big book contract.

(33,041 posts)"Tom of Finland, was a Finnish artist known for his stylized highly masculinized homoerotic art, and for his influence on late twentieth century gay culture. He has been called the "most influential creator of gay pornographic images" by cultural historian Joseph W. Slade.[2] Over the course of four decades, he produced some 3,500 illustrations, mostly featuring men with exaggerated primary and secondary sex traits, wearing tight or partially removed clothing."

(10,749 posts)Same folks in the new #proudboys images should also show themselves wearing the black and yellow fred perry polos with biden harris on them.
Also, if it's not a violation of some kind, add #villagepeople.
I think this idea - from George Takei I think - was fantastic. The fascists won't go away, but the mockery might rock them back on their heels.
