#stl pride

[shortsweetespresso]

I plan on going to STL pride. I still have an absolute FUCK TON of bracelet making supplies from Eras & Good Mythical Tour.

I am going to make bracelets to give out at pride. If you were going to get a bracelet at pride, which would you prefer?

What type of bracelet would you prefer?

Specific Pride flag colors, no words

Specific Pride flag colors, just label (ex; bisexual, pansexual, etc)

Specific Pride flag colors, just the word "pride"

All (inclusive) rainbow bracelets -- nothing specific

Specific pride flags or rainbow bracelets -- gay slang (ex; fruity*, slay, etc)

A combination -- explain in tags?

Pronoun bracelets

Not LGBTQIA+ -- See answers

Voting ended onJun 10, 2024

(At this moment, I have bisexual, pansexual, gay (mlm), lesbian, inclusive rainbow, intersex, and trans bracelets made up but I plan on making at least 1-2 for as many identities as possible)

*(As a bisexual woman, I often use "fruity" to describe myself, I would be allowing people to choose their own bracelets from my stash of bracelets -- in case people do not like to identify themselves with certain words, however -- I will not be making any with slurs I cannot reclaim for obvious reasons)

Feel free to reblog this so I can get a larger sample size of the LGBT community. Cishets, please use the designated poll button for you.

I went to Saint Louis Pride this past weekend, and honestly I'm pissed.

During the STL Pride Parade, there was a Free Palestine protest (good).

During the STL Pride Parade, there were three bitches (two men, one woman) in front of me complaining about how "this is *our* event" and "this is *our* day" and "Why do they have to do this *now* ugh;" the whole time the protest was happening.

The protesters were arrested, and the crowd full of LGBTQIA+ people cheered for the police.

Marsha P. Johnson, a black trans woman, threw the first brick at the cops illegally raiding stonewall.

After the protesters were arrested, a float handed out the inclusive pride flag with the black and brown stripes.

After the protesters were arrested, the same three bitches waived the inclusive flag (again, the one with the black and brown stripes) like it was their favorite thing they'd ever seen.

Boeing was a major sponsor of STL Pride. They had a float. Their float displayed the F-15 as one of their markers of pride and joy. Of all of the murders committed by the F-15 Eagle, the award for the largest number of them is in the hands of the Israeli Air Force.

Palestinian people are being wiped off the face of the map by Israel. They're being purposefully culled for the land that's rightfully theirs in a mass genocide. They have been since 1947. They will continue to be as long as we continue to turn a blind eye.

Our community has fundamentally forgotten our roots. We've forgotten why pride started. We say we uplift the voices of people of color and then we suppress the protesting of genocide at an event sponsored by a company who's bank accounts are covered in blood.

I've never seen a group more blithely unaware of their collective cognitive dissonance. I'm so very disappointed.
