In the United States, every June is Pride month – commemorating the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer culture and community.

This period allows for a wide range of events, parades, marches, and discussions to take place, providing opportunities for LGBTQ individuals and their allies to come together and make their voices heard.

Never should have invited them in the first place, and we definitely shouldn't still be allowing them when they aren't even providing funding. Corporations are not people, they do not have sexuality, they have no place at Pride.

Fuckin' right.

My city/community has even gone so far as having another Pride event in September in a big local park that the actual community puts on. The corporate sponsored shit downtown brings in out-of-towners and people watchers, the actual community comes out later in the year and it's a great time.
