Demonstrators clash
with Pride attendees
Attendees of Keizer's first-ever Pride
Fair assembled to form a counter-protest
in response to anti-LGBTQ+ demonstra-
tors Saturday, June 12.
Exchanges between the two groups
ran for about 20 minutes before offi-
cers from the Keizer Police Department
were summoned to the scene on the east
side of the Keizer Cultural Center along
Rickman Road Northeast.
A theft and unlawful use of mace were
both reported to officers who convinced
the demonstrators to leave the scene
shortly after arriving.
