Yeah, just seems a weird thing to cringe about that’s all. Particularly as a gay man, but you do you.

I think I remember you saying you have never gone to pride so maybe that’s why! It’s just a bit of fun. :)

I don't have strong feelings on Pride either way.

I guess if people want to go then I'm happy that they're happy?

I'm fine with it being a bit of fun, I just question its need in the modern west is all, I spose. Especially as it (demonstrably!) has become more about making money for the organisers, than keeping any pretence of a protest.

Some celebrations have already been cancelled or postponed, while others are
scaling back plans or charging for tickets to what have previously been free-to-
attend events (who would pay to watch?).

Big Business is pulling up the free money tree by the roots

If big business is backing off, maybe it just proves the support was never genuine. And “who would pay to watch?” Well, definitely not the usual homophobes who’ve always hated it anyway. Shock horror, Pride isn’t for you. it’s for people who celebrate identity, not those who fear anything LGBTQ+ because it threatens their weird little idea of normal.

Looks like a cross between Esther Rantzen and Janet Street Porter. Maybe even throw Red Rum in there.
