Boston Pride is one of the oldest gay-rights organizations in the United States, with its first parade having taken place in 1971. Last year would have marked the 50th parade, but the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. This year’s events also didn’t materialize, but not entirely because of COVID-19. Rather, Boston Pride celebrated a half-century-plus of existence by collapsing into social panic and cancelling itself. I mean this literally: Boston Pride no longer exists. The organization was dissolved from within in July, when its board of directors released a statement that read, in part:
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 [Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] 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.
And what are the QTBIPOC community’s “concerns.” Well, it’s a long, surreal, and tragicomic story. And to tell it coherently, I’ll have to start with events that took place more than six years ago.

Why do you need a parade when every day is gay pride?
Exactly right. Anyone that has to constantly tell others how special they are, aren’t very special at all- there are probably a lot of gay people who keep their private lives to themselves who just shake their heads In disgust and shame over the the constant pornographic antics of the low self esteem attention seeking homosexuals who have to throw their vile lifestyles in everyone’s faces by parading around in porn outfits, and committing vile acts on the streets right in front of the world
Thought it was written by the Lincoln Project.
Exactly right.
Woke civil war. I won’t even grab the popcorn, it’s not entertaining. But I’m glad they’re bitching at each other instead of me for once.

Well, Maxwell Mayor is a homosexual, but a pretty conservative homosexual.
Perhaps I'm supposed to capitalize "homosexual," not sure.
