"Historically, Pride hasn’t been a time where we honour those that fought before us" Hmm, no, I guess the gay men who founded the Pride tradition never saw their friends and lovers die en masse or anything.https://drive.google.com/file/d/14YbfuNswFwFyIT3eTHac5Ekf8LHGudz7/view?fbclid=IwAR0ZgqS0FLYQeiUDpjyGpcBsU_OVSneRKR96UivYDFEGCw4vId4ugwPU_7w …

Add up every life lost in living memory in Canada or the West due to an "oppression" on that list and it's orders of magnitude less than those lost to HIV. The we-are-LITERALLY-DYING gambit is questionable at the best of times, but shoving it in the face of gay men is despicable.

And, tellingly, there's one oppression with a comparable death toll they could have included, but didn't: anti-Semitism. It's probably a waste of time to pick apart this nonsense, but it does grate so.

Well, if it's not stolen valor, then it's, well wait who is *not* included in this list? Now I'm confused. (And I'm OK with that.) I think it's just good intentions badly phrased.

Add up every life lost due to "oppression" on that list and it's orders of magnitude less than those lost to HIV, is the thing. The we-are-LITERALLY-DYING gambit is questionable at the best of times, but shoving it in the face of gay men is despicable.

To be precise: every life lost to "oppression" _in living memory_ on that list. And they left off the one word they *could* have included: anti-Semitism. Pretty telling.

Yes. And if include queer along w/ homo, what are these queer 'folx'? I've been ready to end Pride for a few years now. And funny abt talk of capitalism when it could hardly be a more capitalistic event now. :)

I think 'folx' is a backformation from 'Latinx', ie a shibboleth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folx_(term) …

"LGBTQ communities of color have embraced the term "folx" to emphasize that the presence of a binary gender system in indigenous societies is a product of colonization and oppression of indigenous peoples.[6][7]" I'd say 'citation needed' but it actually has two.

Yeah, one can hope it doesn't spread too far, but seems it will. It's one of the more absurd of claims that's gaining as fixed reality.

I sincerely cannot understand what is the definition of "capitalism" these people use

Something to do with shooting the messenger, I think.

If it were straights doing it, then I'd say yes.
