The Implosion of Boston’s Pride Parade Is a Sign of Things to Come
Quillette ^ | 13 Oct 2021 | Maxwell Meyer

Posted on 11/01/2021 9:05:11 AM PDT by Salman

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.

You are ridiculous. It’s not banned in Boston, it’s not happening because of the group’s problems.

I love it when radical Leftist activists devour one another on the basis of a lack of purity. Shows perfectly how divorced from reality and irrational they are.

Rather like certain ethnic group with which we've become familiar of late.

Every single member of the LGBTQTBIPOC has their own specific and personal agenda axe to grind and does not care one whittle about any of the other ‘people’ in these groups.

So each representative of each group wants total control of the political and fiduciary aspects of the parade, again, without caring one whit about any of the other groups.

Perfect totalitarianism and cult of the leader all rolled into one.

As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “that’s a shame.”

Who cares? Now people can bring their children to those streets without worrying that they will be exposed to some guy wearing assless chaps.

Cry me a river.

From what I understand, black men do not like gays.

Unless they are gay themselves.

Do we still have the rainbow 🌈 flag on our embassies?

This administration is so ridiculous.

We all know that the election was stolen.

And I hope it eats Biden up for the rest of his stupid life.

““Oppressions are interlocked, no one is free until we are all free.”

Er, I can easily show that locking up criminals makes everyone else more free. So that statement is a lie. Nice sound bite though for those without the ability to evaluate information.

“#WickedProud”

That pretty much sums it up, methinks...

History repeats itself. Cultic movements require an ever-expanding zeal, until they kill themselves.

“Studies in San Francisco and Vancouver have found nearly 100% of HIV+ homosexuals and 67% of HIV- homosexuals are infected with HPV of the rectum. This virus leads to anal warts and anal cancer.

In addition to HPV of the rectum, homosexuals are at high risk of acquiring: Anal Cancer, Chlamydia, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, Herpes, Cystoisospora belli, Microsporidia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis A, B & C, and Syphilis.

Some of these diseases are almost exclusively homosexual in nature, others such as Gonorrhea and Syphilis were traditionally heterosexual but are rapidly becoming epidemic in the homosexual subculture.

Many homosexuals falsely believe that sodomy is safe and with the advancement of new anti-retroviral therapy medications that there is no need to worry about AIDS anymore. While anti-AIDS medications are prolonging life dramatically, the truth is an average of 15,000 people still succumb to AIDS annually in North America, and the anti-retroviral regimen in and of its self is a source of suffering that can shorten lives of HIV + people.

Common side effects of anti-AIDS medications are: Nausea, vomiting, rashes, heart disease, liver problems, lipodystrophy, diabetes. “
