you're on your own, kid

the only reason cops are at pride now is to intimidate gay people into not making it a riot again and i will stand by that fact until the day i die

If the occasion should arise and I attend a pride festival, I would also like it to not become a riot.

imagine being this guy

arent they there? to stop any attacks from the anti lgbt groups?? yknow the ones that ALWAYS gather there???

contrary to what this newer generation of lgbt people think, cops are a new addition to prides. only within the past 10/20 years have they actually started “protecting” pride. aka standing around and intimidating the general public. historically, lgbt people have protected ourselves and eachother during pride events. from police in a lot of cases actually. ive been to pride events where the anti lgbt protesters were the ones being “protected” from the pride crowd… the cops arent there for us. theyre there to boost the image of the police force and make us think they care. the only people who feel safe around cops are the classes that they are meant to protect and people who are uneducated about police. (theres a heavy overlap as well.)  you may feel safe around cops but many people do not. theyre literally dogs to the upper class. 

2018 Baltimore pride was crashed by terfs who marched with the cops. pigs protected them.

In hamilton ontario the cops let neo nazis attack people and said they didnt help because people didnt want them there

I was at NYC Pride a couple of years ago and a massive section of the main route was completely dedicated to cops. The sight of a prison bus driving by with rainbow flags on it made me sick. That was the year that Toronto Pride asked the police not to bring guns to pride. And so the NYPD invited them to our parade, marching through and proudly brandishing their guns. Back at the Stonewall Inn, people who were protesting the commercialization of Pride were beaten by police. I used to buy some of what the commenters above are saying about protection, but after seeing all of that Pride needs to be anti cop.

They Showed Up With Riot Gear.” The subtitle says, “Eight people were arrested on Sunday after skirmishes between the New York Police Department and people celebrating Pride in New York City.” The article has a photo of cops harassing civilians. One cop is pulling the arm of a pride attendee while other attendees try to stop him. Another cop has cuffed someone on the ground. End ID.]

All cops are bastards and not a single fucking one of them belongs at pride. No not even the gay ones. Fuckin TRAITORS.

#black panther#i just LOVED KILLMONGER’S TAKEOVER of the nation so intensely?  SO INTENSELY????#for the REALLY DEEP dramatic EMPIRE VIBES that it gave off…ESPECIALLY to an audience#that has been raised on a diet of genre fiction and high fantasy#it was so DEEPLY CLASSICAL in nature???? the young brazen bastard son comes swaggering back into the palace to demand his birthright#he is strong and scarred and full of this terrible unquenchable rage that springs from abandonement and the life of an outsider#and he STANDS OVER THE BODY of his mirror image and screams ‘IS THIS YOUR KING?’ and literally casts him aside#in the eyes of all the council in the eyes of his family and his lover#AND THEN. ONE OF MY FAVORITE HORRIBLE THINGs it is just so DEEPLY CLASSICALLY SHAKESPEAREAN EMPIRE-BUILDING#the old queen mother and the princess are forced to flee the country with a few loyal supporters#the brave general and the army are forced to stay with the new king and uphold the order#BUT… THEREI S WHISPERING. literal actual whispering in the halls of the palace and just the PHRASE#‘whispersi n the halls of the palace’#THESE SCENES. this narrative trope! do you UNDERSTAND how DEEPLY that taps into my fictional foundation - the intrigue and the fear?#this entire movie plucks such ancient and deeply felt threads but the COMMITMENT TO AFROFUTURISM AT THE SAME TIME like#bruh i really liked killmonger’s takeover scenes is what i’m saying @takiki16

forever obsessed with the idea that Roxas and Namine are special Nobodies because they weren’t born from a heart falling to darkness like most Nobodies are, but rather because Sora gave up his heart in a selfless act of love and sacrifice for Kairi. They’re the only Nobodies born from friendship and devotion and selflessness and love and it just really gets to me
