Jewish Hate Group Outsources Gay Pride Protest to Mexican Day Workers Dressed as Hasidics

Anti-gay bigotry. It's not just for evangelical Christians.

In a sad and disgusting use of outsourcing, an extremist Jewish organization hired a group of non-Jewish Mexican day laborers to masquerade as Orthodox Jews while protesting Sunday's Gay Pride parade in New York City.

According to the New York Times, the group of ersatz Jews were dressed wearing Tzitzit (the fringed prayer garment) with black hats and false peyots (side curls). The group, which was fenced off with a police barricade on the parade route at Fifth Avenue and Fifteenth Street, were holding signs that read "Judaism prohibits homosexuality" and "G-d created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve."

The anti-gay protest was organized by the Jewish Political Action Committee (JPAC), a Brooklyn-based group that was recently designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group is known for spreading falsehoods about the LGBT community and has claimed in the past that "man-on-boy" pedophilia has "surged" in New York State since the adoption of same-sex marriage.

When asked by the Times to comment on the use of the day laborers, Heshie Freed of JPAC said that the men were supplementary troops, filling in for the Yeshiva students who normally demonstrate.

"The rabbis said that the Yeshiva boys shouldn't come out for this because of what they would see at the parade," Mr. Freed said.

The group of paid protesters ended up bearing the brunt of revelers' anger as parade-goers hurled water bottles at them or kissed them. Eventually the barricade protecting the protesters came down and then the crowds swarmed in. Reportedly a small fight broke out and a protester was punched.

"It's been a lot of confrontation," Freed of JPAC said. "Whenever you have emotions, you have a situation."
