Our culture is worth preserving. Corporations ain't gonna do that. We do that. Grassroots. Pride is supposed to be grassroots. Trump did us a favor in this one way, showed us how rainbow-washed "integration" is as worthless as the ad circulars they're printed on. What matters is if you have rights, and you get those by showing up for the fight. Get involved this year. Make them afraid to take our rights away. That's the real heart of Pride.

As has been pointed out a few times this year, pride parades have always been protests. Fuck the system, and fuck the haters.

They were protests until we let giant corporate sponsors take over, suddenly they were entertainment events with huge budgets to get the best performers. A circus. We shouldn't need to fly in Gloria Estefan to flood the streets with our people for a day.
