Gay Pride losing its cool factor?

The offical representative of the gay community of Hamilton refused to participate in the ceremonial raising of the gay pride flag over city hall, and published half-heatered excuses why.  The excuses offered for why the LGBTQWERTY+2 movement opposed the gay pride flag raising over city hall – symbolizing triumph – are simply words to cover a deeper cause.  As is true of environmentalism, so it is true of the gay pride movement, so it is true of every Marxist movement, it is simply not in their nature to be satisfied.

The purpose of every Marxist movement is to sow disorder.  If order gets restored by compromise, then some new excuse is needed to recreate disorder.  With Marxist movements, the issue is never the issue, the issue is power.  The method is disorder for thee, and the New Order for me.

The perfunctory acceptance of it made gay pride conventional.  That took the fun out of thrusting gay pride into the faces of straight society.  The gay pride parade in Toronto is cancelled because the Toronto police and a host of other straight organizations looking to win political correctness points got so involved that the parade was no longer a form of protest.

The point of flaunting gayness is to be shocking, and to demand acceptance of the unconventional is to humiliate the straight society.  But now gayness is blasé, commonplace, even tedious.  The ritual self-abasement of straight society is now boring.

Opposing the flag raising is simply a desperate way of keeping the pot of discontent boiling.
