Homophobes Harass People Flying Pride Flags, Then Their Boat Goes Up In Flames
A video uploaded to TikTok, which has since gone viral, shows the moment a bunch of homophobes are saved by the very group of people they had been harassing moments before their boat blew up on Moses Lake in Grant County, Washington.
The footage, taken on Saturday – just two days prior to the start of Pride Month, has amassed more than 8 million views, and is alleged to show a group being harassed for flying rainbow pride flags听from their vessel.
The situation quickly escalated when the second boat started circling their vessel, doing so at least six times, with one of the boat鈥檚 passengers, a woman, seen yelling something unintelligible before flipping her middle finger.
鈥淎t this point I could clearly hear the words 鈥榞ays鈥� and 鈥榝lags鈥� being shouted from their boat,鈥� Robbie, whose last name is retracted for fear of retaliation, and who was responsible for posting the video online told The Washington听Post.

He听added that 鈥渨hen the other boat noticed the group was filming, the driver attempted to hide his face before speeding away,鈥� leaving a cloud of smoke behind and waves that rocked Robbie鈥檚 boat back and forth.
However, as they sped away their boat burst into flames causing them to dive into the water and swim to safety.
Following the altercation, Robbie said听听 that 鈥渢hese people harassed my family because we were flying gay pride flags in Moses Lake, Washington, by racing around us and shouting gay slurs. Then, their boat literally blew up!鈥� accompanied by the hashtag #KarmaIsReal.
In a second tweet Robbie posted: 鈥淎nd just ONE more tidbit to really drive the karma in there. The driver literally s**t his pants and everyone saw when his shorts fell off in the water. We safely got them out of the water immediately. We were nicer than they were.鈥�
Robbie in his interview with The Washington Post also said that 鈥淭he passengers were quite rude, shouting over us, ignoring my [questions] about their wellbeing when on the 911 call and smoking a vape pen on our boat without even so much as asking if they could.鈥�
A spokesperson for Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones said that Sheriff鈥檚 investigators had viewed the now viral video that seems to show the incident.
鈥淎s of right now, we are trying to make contact with the occupants of the vessel being circled so we can interview them to find out what happened. We would like to know more, and once we can interview people; we will be able to know more without relying solely on a brief video,鈥� the Sheriff鈥檚 spokesperson confirmed.
