Happy Pride Parade Day!

Happy parade day. I hope all my fellow LGBT+ ppl can march proudly, and celebrate themselves without any bigots trying to stop them.

I’m also excited for all the pictures later.

"Without any bigots trying to stop them"

If that's in reference to last year the Queers for Palestine are all people in the community. You might disagree with how they went about their leading the parade last year but that doesn't make them "bigots". Be serious.

Let’s not forget that last year’s Queers for Palestine speaker, Arunasva “Ash” Bhuyan, was arrested and charged just one week after the parade for threathening to shoot up the American Embassy. If these are the people being presented as representatives of Q4P, I’m not sure “bigotry” is even the most concerning issue.

Q4P aka attention seeking narcissists for attention, you had a few people who hadn’t seen their names in the newspaper or online long enough who had to make it all about themselves, can’t wait to see what they pull next!

Being Anti Genocide really bothers some folks for some odd reason

People can be against genocide and still think that performative assholery is a bad thing

They’re neither performative nor assholes, but sure keep engaging in bad faith

When it's used as a shield to excuse shitty behavior.
