WGBH.For obvious reasons, it wouldn’t be long before the confrontation between the pro- and anti-LGBTQ demonstrators escalated to a point where police intervention was needed. Hood, along with two counter-protesters who identify as “anti-fascists,” was arrested on disturbing the peace charges, handcuffed, and transported to the Boston Police Department’s West Roxbury precinct.Hours after the protest, residents stood outside Loring Greenough House to show support for their LGBTQ neighbors. “We’re out here making sure that people hear us,” a woman named Nicole told WGBH, noting that “rage” brought her to the counter-protest. Another counter-protester, Courtney Ignace, noted that there has been an increase in right-wing extremist groups holding demonstrations.
