"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 …

"Finally, Pride in the Park needs to end with a vigil to honour the lives lost due to numerous forms of oppression (transphobia, racism, colonization, queerphobia, capitalism, classism, ableism, Islamophobia, homophobia, etc.)." Does this count as stolen valor?

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.
