Overly corporate



Pride parade has become 'overly corporate', says one of UK's leading LGBTQ+ rights activists

Peter Tatchell was among around 30 members of the Gay Liberation Front who organised the UK's first 'gay pride' march in 1972.

Speaking on the 50th anniversary of the UK's first 'gay pride' march which he helped organise, Mr Tatchell said Saturday's parade was becoming "overshadowed" by corporations, instead of focusing on LGBTQ+ groups.

Mr Tatchell is understating the problem. Movements turn into businesses which turn into rackets. We are well into the racket phase already.

Maybe they need to add a "C" to that list of letters. "Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Corporate...".

Pride month is over? yet the another Pride march is going on in London, is it now Pride year with year long rainbow policemen/persons/them and rainbow fire engines, pedestrian crossings, flags flying 24/7 on public buildings, drag queens infesting junior schools etc etc, as they used to say in the area I grew up in "enough already"

Wiggia - with luck, an increasing number of people will become sick of it.
