I’ve been to Pride events outside of the US and not a fucking corporate sponsor in sight with their goofy gayed-out logos and they were awesome. Fun, informative, inclusive and free. We can celebrate all of these “inclusive” events by not buying a single “corporate” product for the whole month, starting with those that used to show support.
I can confirm that. I live in France, and Pride in my (quite small) town doesn't have a single private sponsor. It's all organized by a non profit organization, gathering the various local LGBTQIA+ associations, and associations for STI prevention, human rights activists, feminists and so on.
Before the procession starts, there's a small fair in a public park with (free) stands for all these associations, and stands where goodies are sold to finance the event.
Pride in Ottawa, Canada this year was pretty much corporate-less because the organisers publicly came out in support of Palestine and said they’d only accept companies on the right side of history in the parade
Corporations being corporations, most dropped out since they always have to be 100% safe on any statements of support obviously. It was actually so much better without them though.
I think now is a great time to separate pride events from these corporate scum. They never have been and will never be allies, just opportunists who would just as willingly burn parades to the ground if it maximizes profit. The capitalist machine will never be your friend.
I want to go to Pride in Amsterdam. The parade is a boat parade along the canals.

Straight ally checking in. Started growing my own food last year, mainly as a hobby to keep me from doom scrolling so much. But I really like this idea and am going to try not buying anything but gas the entire month.

Trying to use it as an insult is not very cash money of you.
What does gay sound like?
Lets wait and see if he sticks the hose up his ass when he buys gas.
Get a bicycle and quit making exceptions.
Or walk!
Some people work with their vehicle.
K?
Got any tips?
Yeah, don't have cats.
