thank you and now we can all enjoy the meme together
It’s because it’s a hollow, diluted version of an actual protest march, with no actual political action associated with it. It’s a centrist/status-quo friendly way of queer expression. It’s taking the original message “We DEMAND freedom, or we riot” and settling it down to “hey we exist too!”.
Essentially, it’s the ongoing capitalist capture of queerness.
Frankly it should be a pride PROTEST every year until equality is achieved. Fuck this “sanitisation” and corporate friendly display of numbers.
