LGBT Pride Month around the country is marked by celebratory parades — featuring floats, dancers and celebrities. And they've been especially joyous in recent years, following the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
But this year, the tone of Los Angeles's parade has shifted from pride to protest.
"We've converted the parade, floats and fun to a march for civil rights," says Brian Pendleton, who has planned what's now called the Resist March for June 11.
The Resist March is in coordination with protests in more than 50 cities around the world, all taking place under the banner, "Equality March for Unity and Pride."
"You have the science march, the climate march, the women's march, the immigration march," says Anika Simpson, co-organizer of the international effort. "I feel a sense of solidarity across these groups."

ReplyDeleteJust like all leftist groups they start out playing the victim looking for sympathy and once they get the power they wanted they abuse everyone else.
ReplyDeleteSorry but I no long care about any of them. Bunch of selfish self-centered whackadoodles.
