No Pride in Boston this year? That appears to be the case after Boston Pride released a statement late on Friday, July 9, 2021, that Boston Pride is dissolving.
"The organization's board dissolved, it announced Friday afternoon, and it won't be putting on any of its planned events. The move was made after Boston Pride worked to change amid criticism over inclusiveness," writes NBCBoston.com.
Whether or not this year's Pride parade, which was scheduled for June but was pushed back to September, will happen is up in the air. "The group grappled for months with complaints of structural racism, and it had hired consultants and formed an advisory committee to help facilitate that process," adds NBCBoston.com.
Last month 1,000-or-so demonstrators under Trans Resistance held their own event and called Boston Pride "trans-exclusionary" and said it "fails to represent trans people of color."
Boston Pride at the time said they were working to the goal of new leadership. "(W)e have been working since last year to take responsibility and change the systemic and structural racism affecting our organization. We have embarked on an inclusive and deliberative process that is relying on members of the community to help us change."
Today's statement regarding dissolving the committee reads as follows:
"For years, we have volunteered our time with Boston Pride because we care about and are passionate about the LGBTQIA+ community. We strived to foster an environment of diversity and unity within our organization and the community. Over the past 50 years, Boston Pride has facilitated programs and events that have changed our society and promoted equality, but we know there is still work to be done.
"Over the past year, we have invested time and energy to address the concerns of the community, both with our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access work with Dorrington & Saunders and by forming the Transformation Advisory Committee comprised of members of the LGBTQIA+ community to help bring change to our organization. We are grateful for all who have been involved in this process.
"It is clear to us that our community needs and wants change without the involvement of Boston Pride. We have heard the concerns of the QTBIPOC community and others. We care too much to stand in the way. Therefore, Boston Pride is dissolving. There will be no further events or programming planned, and the board is taking steps to close down the organization.
"We know many people care about Pride in Boston, and we encourage them to continue the work. By making the decision to close down, we hope new leaders will emerge from the community to lead the Pride movement in Boston.
"This decision was made with a heavy heart, out of love and hope for a better future."

Intersectionalism and inclusion were their downfall.
“The move was made after Boston Pride worked to change amid criticism over inclusiveness,”
Irony. It’s so sweet.

True insanity and mental illness rule the day. There are so many freak groups mentioned in the article than could have been imagined even 10 years ago. Is this why WWII was fought?
Lets arm both sides
What in the world is QTBIPOC????
Did everyone drop dead?
“We have spent many hours thinking about and contemplating the difficult and complex problems raised by the need for comprehensive virtue signaling in the lovely world we have played such a significant role in creating, and have decided that the only way to move forward while staying true to our goals and ideals is to dissolve completely. Therefore, and effective immediately, we shall cease to exist. We hope someone will emerge to take our place. Good bye.”
That settles it. I need a new English Dictionary!
Romans 1:24-28 ... the natural progression of a society without a taboo structure to define the uprightness for men and women. Reprobate minds are now running this nation.

Is LGBTQIAXYZ really just a CIA op to ultimately destroy the homosexual class?
It sounds insane but this is all marxist agitprop ostensibly led by the Chinese and they HATE homosexuality.
“Over the past year, we have invested time and energy to address the concerns of the community, both with our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access work with Dorrington & Saunders and by forming the Transformation Advisory Committee comprised of members of the LGBTQIA+ community to help bring change to our organization.”
They could rename themselves The People’s Front of Judea - they have the jargon down pat.
QTBIPOC?
My guess is queer transgendered black/indigenous people of color.
And we’re quickly going down the road of destruction brought forth by these reprobate minds.
Years ago there was a ‘buzz word’ generator- three columns of words, you choose one from each column. Looks like it was resurrected to write this column
I would say they’re eating their own, but that’s a turn-on for them.
Ladies, gentlemen and whatever you choose to call yourselves, there was a failure to communicate enough cash.
When every random segment of society and culture must be appeased, nobody will be appeased. The breakup of Yugoslavia would be a positive outcome at this point.
What I yelled when I stepped on a Lego barefoot.
The Left always implodes when they start eating their own - which is just about the time they have complete control
It all went to hell after they changed the Pride rainbow flag. Their new flag is a chit stained hankie.
