Just participated in my first Pride Parade
And I had a blast. It was fun being with so many cool people. Saw some people walking with a communist Trans flag with a hamsic. Everyone was really loving toward eachother. Got a few cat calls from groups of bears lol.
Anyway, felt good that I was able to do this, just wanted to share π³οΈβππ³οΈβπ
You're viewing a single thread.
But I was weirded out by companies being in the Pride. I saw a group of people from the company Chemours, who are actively poisoning the water in Belgium and The Netherlands. Proper company queerwashing.
I was at one in Berlin that had a huge amount of Israeli Zionist propaganda.
Luckily none of that over here. Quite a few Palestina flags honestly.
Did you go to tell people feeding queer people to dogs isn't an issue?
No, I told them it was an irrelevant distraction used to steer them away from contributing to any meaningful change at the root cause and instead towards a source of liberal smugness. An attempt to co-opt a something real and user it for nefarious ends.
(For people wondering, this guy is sore about people calling out culture war bullshit because a liberal podcast told him to be)
The FBI had a contingent in this year's pride where I am π
Verizon was at the one I went to, lol. It felt like a big advertisement sometimes, but with hipster food trucks serving 13 dollar sandwiches.
It was ok. It was nice feeling somewhat safe, for a second. For one, Amerika has this little problem with having the most mass shootings on Earth. As soon as I stepped outside of the pride area I got called a "c@@@sucker" by a stranger.
Heheh. Heh. π
Just like Bayer in my country rocking the queer flag on their headquarters.
queerwashing
I think the correct term is "rainbowwashing"
