When the over-commercialisation of pride makes us think about it as just another festival and not a fight for rights. This is ridiculous and shameful. Surely the parade/protest is the most important part of it!

It's so sad that it's stopped representing so many of the people it claims to represent. It's fine to have fun and festivals and parties, but we cannot forget that this is a Human rights movement! I'm just baffled

Mostly it's run by the cis white male gays, who have all the rights/etc. that they wanted. Entirely forgetting that it was transwomen of colour who started the whole shebang.

Because humans are, as a whole, pretty awful. Individual people can be lovely, but as a race we're pretty bad.
