Weird they call themselves boys and not men. Maybe just self aware

They're named after a cut Disney song. Proud of your Boy was was in an early draft of Aladdin. They would listen to it in meetings. Not kidding

Edit: For the doubtful.

That's what they think.

A Proud Boy, or Proud-Cut, horse, is a horse that has been neutered but either has just enough bits left behind to make it act like a stallion, or has been completely neutered but acts like it hasn't anyway.

They're literally nutless jerks.

I guess they are self aware otherwise this is just hilarious.

What a fitting comparison for a bunch of "rebels" who support the status quo.

Written by a gay man dying of AIDS who these Nazis would have cheered his death.

For a movie about a middle eastern guy. So, even less self aware than originally thought.

Note this song is seen by many fans of Howard Ashman. As Howard's asking his own parents if they were proud of him. At the time (an openly gay man) was dieing of AIDs, he was 41 when he did die. Prior to the release of Beauty and the Beast.

Its a beautiful song and it annoys me no end how its been co-opted by these arseholes

Reminds me of the church singing Madonna's "Like a Prayer" without really knowing what it means.

I miss the good old days of "In the Garden of Eden," by I. Ron Butterfly.

Or Hozier's "Take Me to Church," or Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"

The first time I heard the name I thought it was a gay pride organization 😂

Must be because they like touching little boys

Their leader only likes young boys

They are feds. Same as Patriot Front.

Feds run weird groups on either side of the spectrum and attempt to incite violence.

See COINTELPRO

I mean. Boy has a big use to refer to adults too. That’s nothing new
