I'm moved by the photos and videos from #Brighton #Trans #Pride yesterday. Huge turnout for the march, so important in these times of rising hatred.

When I lived i Brighton, I attended Trans Pride almost every year. The first time I went it was still fairly small, around 1000 people on a short march. It was both a powerful and an educational experience. Partly because it's a proper #protest, not just a celebration. But also because it was my first time attending pride as a friend, supporter and ally, rather than as a celebrant.

Die coolen Rüstungskonzerne von nebenan – „Pinkwashing“ und die Normalisierung des Tötens

Pride_Lockheed-02.jpg

[...] Der laut Medien größte Waffenfabrikant der Welt, die US-Firma Lockheed Martin, hat an der diesjährigen „Pride Parade“ in Washington DC teilgenommen ... laut dem US-Medium „Military News“ wurde auch ein Pride-Event in Texas von Lockheed gesponsert.

Eine solche Instrumentalisierung der Regenbogenkultur ist kein Einzelfall: Im Artikel Wenn der Regenbogen zur Farce wird hat Jens Berger bereits beschrieben, dass weitere Rüstungsfirmen, Autokonzerne, private Lobby-Gruppen oder staatliche Organe wie die deutsche Polizei oder die EU-Grenzschützer Frontex inzwischen auf den Regenbogen-Zug zur Eigen-PR aufgesprungen sind.

Russel Brand fragte anlässlich des aktuellen Vorgangs bei der Pride-Parade in einer seiner kürzlichen Sendungen treffend, ob es denn verwunderlich sei, dass Krieg gesellschaftlich so akzeptabel geworden zu sein scheint, wenn sogar ein Event, das doch einer Gegenkultur entstamme wie der „Pride-Month“, nun von Lockheed Martin gesponsert werden dürfe.

[...] Ein Twitternutzer bringt die massiven moralischen Doppelstandards auf den Punkt: „Lockheed Martin möchte, dass Sie wissen, dass sie – obwohl sie Saudi-Arabien mit Raketen und anderer Militärausrüstung bewaffnen – große Unterstützer von LGBT-Rechten sind.“

[...] Die einzelnen Mitstreiter der Bewegung selber können nichts für die Vereinnahmung ihrer Symbole und die Instrumentalisierung des reichen schwul-lesbischen popkulturellen Kapitals, das in Jahrzehnten kreativ aufgebaut wurde. Aber prominente Vertreter von LGBTQI+ könnten sich laut gegen Vereinnahmungen durch Kriegstreiber aussprechen (vielleicht ist das geschehen, dann bitte ich um Hinweise). Und wenigstens die Veranstalter der erwähnten Pride-Märsche hätten doch eingreifen können: Sie hätten die Instrumentalisierung ihrer Parade durch einen riesigen Rüstungskonzern verhindern müssen.

Autor: Tobias Riegel -- https://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=99898

Es ist mir unbegreiflich, wie Teilnehmer einer Pride-Demo Werbung für einen großen Rüstungskonzern machen können, dem Menschenrechte offensichtlich vollkommen egal sind.

#Pride Parade
Thousands were walking in Pride Parade in Downtown Salt Lake City. Very strong support.

This took place in the heart of Republican and Mormon Church dominance. They were peaceful/orderly and had a Police escort.

Scott Maxwell, a columnist for the Orlando Sentinel, argued this week that #DeSantis' obsession with punishing #Disney had become so destructive that "the wheels have come off" the entire venture.

The problem, as Maxwell sees it, is that DeSantis simply doesn't know how to handle improving his national profile in a way that doesn't involve nonstop culture warring that will grow off-putting to non-Republican voters.

"See, your average #American doesn’t believe #Mickey and #Minnie are trying to turn #preschoolers #gay or that the Main Street Electrical Parade is a covert #Pride operation," he writes. "They’re not obsessed with #drag queens. And they’re not keen on #book #bans." #LGBTQ #Florida #GOP #GOPLiars #Disneyworld
