And ironically enough that's led to them having to get reinvolved, because the Q+ have ran away with it, and they're having to get back on their soapboxes to say "No, really. Most of us are just regular people, who want to get on with life. This isn't us", because they fear getting caught in the inevitable backlash.

Well it's like Pride. When I still attended, it was mostly gay and lesbian people with their families, regular working people with kids or no kids, marching peacefully to protect their rights to live regular lives.

And the last time I attended it was men in dog masks, furries, dudes in drag waving their dicks around, and some very confused looking families.

It's like that old onion article. "Gay pride parade sets back gay rights 50 years".

I was "talking" to someone on Reddit about this.

His sister is Muslim, and went to a Pride parade to fight her prejudices, and be more accepting.

Her response was almost the same as the satire in the Onion article.

She was appalled, and disgusted.
