I get it, but it would be great if we could’ve kept it as a party. The community has already fought so much. The floats were basically the only way some people understood that LGBT+ was mainstream and accepted now. Rainbow capitalism is bad, obviously, but it’s still devastating to see even that get taken away. Our roots should never have had to be resistance and it’s sad to see it’s come back to that. Same with several other communities. Having struggle be thrust upon you just by virtue of who you are is terrible for mental and physical health. I was looking forward to seeing the next generation thrive. I don’t want to see them in the trenches. I want them to party. I want them to celebrate. I want job fairs at pride to be full of the worst Fortune 500 companies desperately trying to recruit from the community. I want them to live normal lives where they’re not othered just for being and pride had evolved into a celebration of that.
Pride is a resistance not a party! Get back to our roots. We don’t need another US Bank float.

I want to see big brick as a sponcer.
Or Luigi’s Guillotines LLC
Their float can just be a lowboy loaded with bricks and someone handing out.

All I want in this life is a working class homo to follow me home and stay.
