Honestly, you are depressingly correct :( but even so, misinterpretation, wilful or not, is only part of the reason I wish we’d go back to Liberation instead of Pride. I know the name doesn’t have to dictate the goals, but I feel like we lost sight of the movement when we made marriage equality the end-all-be-all, and there’s been such an abandonment of it since 2015. We’re not there for our trans and nonbinary siblings anyway, because gay men “got ours,” so to speak. A lot has improved in the last 60 years, but I wish the queer community still had the community part of things like we used to
