I love this video. I've never seen it before, lol. I really relate to this, too.

"One of our spokespeople... self-appointed, uh..."

Omg. Hahahaha that is SO true.

But when I look at pride events now, I don't see normal people proud of who they are, speaking truth to power and refusing to be ashamed. I see perverts gyrating in leather bondage suits. I see deviants crawling on their hands and knees dressed like dogs. I see multi-billion dollar corporations incorporating a rainbow into their logo in the hope that it'll get me to buy their product. I see Alphabet People co-opting the struggles that same-sex attracted people have faced and then speaking for us, all the while using slurs that were never theirs to claim in the first place.

I also see that. An observation: This seems like an inevitable consequence of the fact that LGB (same sex attracted) people are an invisible minority and as such, a straight person could just announce for a day that they self-describe as being "kweer" and then talk over people who actually are LGB and who often might have trouble speaking up about their experiences of being LGB in a homophobic world because they've had past experience of shaming and pressure, which a straight person pretending would've never had. Ironic, to say the least. How do we get people talking about this more?
