text: Well, first off, Black Lives Matter is a hate group out to stir up trouble.  There are real problems with race in this (and in other countries), yet this group just does nothing to stir the pot.
  
  As for who owns Pride, I thought it was for the gay community and our allies.  It is designed to be an inclusive event.  If you are LGBT or an ally, then this Parade is for you.  It doesn't matter to me if you are conservative, liberal, black, white, Christian, Muslim, rich or poor.  This is for us - people who are OK with being who we are.
  
  Black Lives Matter is a hate group and is trying to splinter Pride.  If there are issues, and there very well may be with regard to race, then Pride needs to address it, but we don't need agitators to do so.
