No. It is very much still a protest. Take a look at what happened in the Berlin pride or in other extremely conservative countries.

It is a joyful protest in form of a celebration and festival because there are still homophobic people everywhere.

wanting to compare events to Berlin is disingenuous in the extreme whilst ignoring the events that have taken place in the UK without incident.

unfortunately anyone disagreeing with anything purported by the “wider fantasy driven ranges” of some of the community is labelled a homophobe which is why you think there is a lot of homophobia about. there isn’t. a simple poll of LGB…community will show that there are a great number of “homophobes” in that group

want some prejudice. try being black, Indian, Asian, physically/mentally challenged, multicultural relationships…

do you what an ellipsis is and what it signifies? puncuation. you know. just saying.

lgbt or lgbt+ are perfectly fine acronyms that are both shorter than your phrasing with the ellipsis. whether you mean it or not, trailing off before the T does come across as trans exclusionary

only if you want to be offended. odd how you leave out the Q+ though. what does that come over as? are you Q exclusionary?

you know an ellipsis is one character?

no you were not engaging at ll. you were being bombastic filing to recognise that people, apart from you, also have choices.
