I was at the very first Gay Pride in Toronto in 1981.  I have seen it grow into an incredible event and I have also watched mendacious and malicious people within the gay community  sabotage Gay Pride, bit by bit, year after year for their benefit at the cost of unity within the community as a whole.  Pride stopped being about unity 15years ago.  BLM is the inevitable result, where it isn't even about the LGBT community any more. We are merely do the catering and clean up.
