This morning, in a Facebook group I'm part of, I see a bunch of white and, as far as I know, not queer-identified people are now complaining that "extremists" have blackmailed Pride into shutting down. And, like, maybe that's a valid take, but I sort of feel like cis-white-hetero people are maybe the wrongs ones to be making the case...
