I admire that they didn't cave into the mob, but the mob still won. The witches may never have confessed but they were still thrown into the river.

LGBTQ community leader Kendall Stephens told PGN in a written statement: “The disbandment of PPP robbed the QTBIPOC community of an opportunity to be properly honored and represented in Pride Month festivities and disallowed a smooth transition of power and responsibility over Philly pride events to transpire.

Gosh, that's a telling acronym, isn't it?

lmao, I was sharing this article with our other mods while SaidIt was down, and I shit you not ... that quote was the one that stuck out to me too.

Selfish little whiny asshole, "LGB robbed us of our chance to completely colonize their events, how dare they!"

Articles like this should be the canary in the coalmine and should peak the fuck out of LGB people.

Philly Pride Presents had recently been under intense scrutiny, starting with backlash from a June 10 Facebook post about the history of the Stonewall Riots which contained language including “those dressed as women,"

Seriously, imagine generating backlash over a statement like "drag queens are men, usually gay men, who dress and perform as women". This is an accurate statement. But because the trans community insists on the lie that Stonewall was started by someone black and trans as a way of crafting a false hero for people to have to worship, truth is being labelled as bigotry. It's insane.
