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.
The seeds of Boston Pride’s self-destruction were sown in June 2015—ironically, just weeks before the US Supreme Court released its decision in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges, which required all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. (Massachusetts had already legalized gay marriage in 2004.)

Who? Who doesn’t want to wear the ribbon?
Maintaining "pride" is a very labor and financially intensive activity. It is not sustainable without public funding.
The events in my county this month just didn't materialize.
First tolerance, then acceptance, then affirmation.
I’ve never lived in Boston so I’m not familiar with the organizations there, but I assume BostonPride was one of seven. Do BostonEnvy, BostonLust and the other four still exist?
Perverts are obviously immune to all diseases—but even they cannot keep appeasing tyrants without getting crushed.
They got Woked to death
The writer of the article needs to prove they are not racist by killing themselves—racism cannot be ended without a final solution for white people.
The writer also never got the memo:
“The issue is not the issue. The revolution is the issue.”
“Good. So sick of gays shoving their agenda down my and my children’s throats.”
Now it is BLM.
“People are looking at the surface and missing what’s really happening. Gay Pride was an attempt to be positive, a “we’re just people too” kind of movement.
The new gay movement isn’t about asking for acceptance, it’s about war on normal people.”
They weren’t in line with BLM.
Correct. They weren’t a violent lawless movement, just an annoyance.
It's also about indoctrinating children to believe that it is ok to be a tranny, queer, or any other moniker they choose. Just one more way for pedophiles to dig their claws in deeper to our children. EVIL is the only way to describe it.
Eating their own (I am going to have to find a different phrase like "internecine conflict" because that one invites mental images that a mental cheese grater on the brain won't remove, but...they wouldn't understand that term...)
For example:
"...On June 13th, about a dozen Black Lives Matter activists managed to halt Boston’s annual Pride parade for 11 minutes—one minute for each transgender person that had been murdered that year, they explained..."
And of course, any student of Leftist idiocy and tactics is not surprised at this:
"...But activists weren’t satisfied, and the board was pressured to make more concessions—including the shelving of nearly all virtual Pride events in favor of “Events that Support the Black and Brown Community.” But by this time, it seemed no gesture of apology or appeasement would suffice..."
Even the dimmest of fools understands completely that apologies or concessions are not seen by Leftists as acts of "working together" but are wholly interpreted by them as weakness to be exploited.
RULE OF THUMB: When dealing with Leftists, never, EVER apologize since it invites more aggression, and making concessions with evil is simply enabling evil.
"DING DING DING! What do we have for him, Johnny?"
Spot on.
The annual Sloth Parade took forever
It would be good to see churches taking their fag flags and rainbow-colored sodomite welcome signs down.
But they won’t.
And, ironically, the listing will continue until each individual has a unique set for them — resulting in 130+M US citizens all by themselves. Even your children.
Divide and conquer — and allow no collusion.
As to the Pride parade dissolving, could be a good sign. Although I can’t champion gay “behavior”, if it floats your boat, go for it. Just, try some discretion. But, gays are not the pack of wild commie-espousing dingalings who haunt the LuggButt “community”. They tend to be hard working folk who just want to live. This breakup might be their way of telling the LuggButt activists to bugger off.
QTBIPOC - would make it clearer to say - non-european origin and non-christian.
EXACTLY!!
Many of these organizations were sponsored by the Propaganda Media that had the television rights for their parades. As the television industry further declines financially, they have less reason to sponsor something where the broadcast won’t bring in viewer-minds to sell to advertisers.
