My actual take: Pride parades in western countries are super insensitive to LGBTQ+ ppl in other countries. My mother has a friend who wants to get married to her fiancée, but she can’t, because in her country gay marriage is banned.
I feel like we shouldn’t celebrate until each and every one of us have nothing to fear. Once the world becomes accepting, and we’re all treated like human beings, then we can have a true pride parade. Otherwise we’re just showing off, tbh
