I think only the older generation can appreciate what this represents... we have moved from a time where we were harassed by police enforcing anti gay laws to a time when they won’t March in our parade unless they can do it uniform.

These kids can’t see beyond their Marxist manifestos

I see people saying that Pride today should be scandalous because the original protests were super scandalous. Except standards have changed. What was once "improper" and unwanted in public, the stuff that a lot of the original protests and prides were doing, is not scandalous by today's standards. It used to be men wearing leather jackets and no shirts, which would get people laughed out of modern pride if they also wore the pants to match.

We won, those things that were once irrationally scandalous are now accepted in such situations, but people want more. They see the goal not as being allowed to wear that specific thing, but a constant battle for all of eternity where they've got to one up society every time society decides that something is no longer bad. Society says leather in pride is OK? Ditch the leather, we're wearing nothing but glitter with our dicks hanging out now!

There is a very good reason that they want things to get increasingly scandalous and constantly on upping society, its Critical theory doctrine. Art, political statements, any sort of protesting needs to be critical and revolutionary until the utopian liberty of Marxism is achieved. Herbert Marcuse set out the woke playbook decades ago, though many dont even know they are taking part.
