In a sea of rainbow parasols, colorful tutus, and rhinestone hats, the 2025 San Francisco Pride Parade pulsed with celebration and defiance. As some corporate sponsors notably pulled back and federal crackdowns on LGBTQ+ rights escalated, this year’s theme revolved around a phrase coined by Audre Lorde: joy as resistance.

Children were everywhere, too. There were little girls with Pride flags tucked into their space buns like chopsticks, Boy Scouts waving trans and rainbow flags.

Probably the saddest part of the article:

Children were everywhere, too. There were little girls with Pride flags tucked into their space buns like chopsticks, Boy Scouts waving trans and rainbow flags. One young boy carried a sign that read “My friend is trans and they’re awesome,” while other kids handed out stickers to crowdgoers. Parents pushed strollers, carried babies in BabyBjorns, or walked hand-in-hand with their kids along the route. Bubble machines sprayed mist into the air as families smiled and waved to passing floats.

As Lenin put it: "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."

federal crackdowns on LGBTQ+ rights

The only "crackdown" (and not near strong enough in my opinion) was on child castration.

Yet never any clear explanation of what exactly the freaks are 'resisting'.

‘Joy as resistance’

Imagine how much better the world would be if the Left actually followed that path... instead of rioting or blocking traffic or defacing property or yelling or breaking things or looting or setting fires... if they simply smiled and laughed and joyfully mocked their political opposition... Wow... I'd love to live in a world like that!!

Ah, yes, strength through joy. The Nazis called it Kraft durch Freude.
