LGBTQ+ twitter users are flooding the **#ProudBoys** hashtag on social media with images of LGBTQ+ pride, displacing posts made by neo-Nazis and white supremacists using the tag.

**Proud Boys**, a far-right group founded in 2016, calls itself a ‘white chauvinist’ organisation. The group was in the news after President **Donald Trump** failed to condemn them during the presidential debate last week, instead telling them to “stand back and stand by,” which many group members took as an endorsement. Trump later semi-denounced the group in a *Fox News* interview.

Since Saturday night, the #ProudBoys hashtag has been inundated with photos of gay men, ranging from pictures of couples to memes and videos of gay men dancing.

On Sunday, the **Canadian Forces in the US** account tweeted: *“If you wear our uniform, know what it means. If you’re thinking about wearing our uniform, know what it means. Love is love. Know what we mean?”*
