Seattle Residents Protest Event by Anti-LGBTQ+, Far-Right Christian Group

HeadlineMay 27, 2025

In Seattle, police deployed pepper spray and arrested at least 23 people Saturday after residents came out to protest a right-wing Christian event that locals dubbed “Fascist Family Values.” The far-right religious group Mayday USA has been on tour throughout the U.S., spreading transphobic and anti-LGBTQ messages through their mass public prayer events. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell condemned the fundamentalist rally, which he said was “inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood.”
