It’s highly amusing when the grievance monster victimhooders start whacking each other
At pride events, protests claim prejudice, exclusion
Gay pride marches in New York City, San Francisco and in between this weekend will have plenty of participants – and also protests directed at them from other members of the LGBT community, speaking out against what they see as increasingly corporate pride celebrations that prioritize the experiences of gay white men and ignore the issues continuing to face black and brown LGBT people.

In Minneapolis, organizers of the Twin Cities Pride Parade planned for this Sunday asked the police department to limit participation following the acquittal of police officer Jeronimo Yanez in the death of Castile. The openly gay police chief said the decision was divisive and hurtful to LGBT officers, which the organizers acknowledged. But Twin Cities Pride Board Chairwoman Darcie Baumann said the decision was made to be sensitive to those grieving after the verdict “and seeing those uniforms brings angst and tension and the feeling of unrest.”
The cops should bow out completely, but, then, that would just allow the violent lefties to run roughshod over each other and other people.
The recent flare-up of racial tensions comes as no surprise to Isaiah Wilson, director of external affairs for the National Black Justice Coalition, one of the few national groups focused specially on black LGBT rights.
He said the broader LGBT-rights movement “has been whitewashed” – dominated to a large extent by white gay men.
“Black queer and trans folks have always been there, but our contributions have been devalued,” Wilson said.
Victimhood Society being victims
“The real test will be, can the LGBT movement own up to its historic legacy of racism and evolve to be more accountable and inclusive of people of color?” Minter, a transgender man, wondered. “If not, then it will cease to be a major political movement.”
They can’t help themselves. They have to be victims and throw out racial grievance mongering even amongst themselves. Get the popcorn.
New York City spokesman James Fallarino said if there are any disruptions or protests during the event, “We’re going to make sure we do everything in our power to respect the people who are disrupting or protesting and to respect their message.”
That sounds like NYC will stand back and allow the same type of violence and vandalism we’ve seen during many other Leftist protests. Have fun, Democratic Party run cities!
