I was going to stop tweeting about this ridiculous 
but I saw someone say pride should be "safe and uncontroversial"

"safe" in the sense that participants and attendees need not fear being harmed, yes, of course, and the presence of kink communities doesn't conflict with that. "safe and uncontroversial"? I don't really think so!

There are two ways pride could be "uncontroversial", the way I see it. It could sand itself down into a corporate-friendly, theme-park-ified, anodyne and toothless celebration of a vague idea of acceptance within conformity—in which case it would be dead already.

Or, society could advance such that pride's core priority of radical acceptance and anti-hierarchical, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist pluralism, and in particular of freedom from oppression for all queers, becomes uncontroversial. And then pride as we know it would be unnecessary.
