I don't want a happy Pride, or to make demands, or to look for equal rights from neoliberal (aka extremely right-wing) institutions. I don't want a happy Pride, nor to fight for be given the right that will be taken away from me in the matter of years, if not months. I don't want a happy Pride whilst anti-migrant, anti-gender, anti-democratic, fascist movements commit genocides (and I'm not just talking about Palestine). I don't want a happy Pride from some corporation which will sell my rights to future dictator the very next day if it meant that they'd get a chance to abuse their employees more easily. I don't want a happy Pride whilst Romani people and people of color are systematically discriminated. I don't want a happy Pride whilst cultural institutions are getting destroyed, whilst people are losing trust in science and vaccines, whilst academic institutions are being attacked by fascist groups. I don't want a happy Pride whilst the police and prisons still exist "to protect us." I don't want a happy Pride whilst the rights of every single marginalized group are being taken away, all across the world. I don't want a happy Pride whilst capitalism and technofeudalism force people into situations of homelessness from which they can't escape, whilst natural resources are being destroyed on such an extreme level just so everyone could lose all their digital rights, whilst people have to work three jobs to pay for their rent and the most essential of groceries, otherwise they'd end up on the street. I don't want your happy Pride, I want a fucking revolution and active resistance.
