Pride griping
I want to go to a Pride that bans brands, cops, and politicians.
I remember going to a Pride event in DC when I was *just* starting to express myself as trans, and being profoundly disappointed that it was all, like, BofA booths. The queerest thing there was the person from HRC asking me for money.
It was a little better in Albuquerque at least. And the Trans Pride March in Seattle is mostly good. But so much of Pride is just... commodified.

@starkatt I feel like the Trans Pride marches are good, but I still keep missing them. :-/

And yes, I want to even ban politicians I like and support. Our existence is not meant to be wrapped up and packaged as part of the self-aggrandizement inherent to the current democratic process.
