Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

I'll never walk in a Pride parade, but if somebody so much as lifts a fingers to deprive someone else of the chance to do so, I'll be prepared to introduce him to life with nine fingers. If he comes crying that's a threat, he should man up. My cousin's husband has nine fingers and is awesome.

We're here. We're queer. We will MAKE them get used to it.

And it frustrates me that so many people seem resigned to the notion that these malevolent assholes are just going to go ahead and do all the stuff they say they want to do in their little "project". Sure, they'd like that. But a lot of people are going to have things to say about it!

As a heavy guy with a decent resume, I guess I'll just wait for the Mattachine society to return. Pride has never been for squares like me. Even if we are queer as a three dollar bill. College being about useful shit gets me branded a 'techbro' despite owning $0 crypto.

I mean if they say "it's illegal to march now" are you going to stop marching? If not then it's not the last Pride.

Hell, that's why it's Pride and not just Queer Parade.

the doomerism of ppl about project 2025 and the woe is me attitude meanwhile red southern states have been conservatively project 2025 for a long time and have some of the coolest pride events I've seen. Laws don't make a difference in states w governers who will straight up ignore federal rulings

Pride as a polite corporate dance party with cops just died. There’s plenty to be upset about, but not that.

Silence is not an option for me. I walked others home from Cleveland bars with OUR baseball bats, because the kids from Parma would come up 12 to a station-wagon to "kill a couple queers" as their weekend entertainment. Police did nothing, so we had to ourselves. In many ways, we're still there.

I guess we'll see if permits are issued. And if we march anyway, the cops will welcome us.
