I had a conversation with a rah-rah lesbian today who was promoting "take back the dyke". An event put on by a drag-queen feminist activist who is against a corporate pride and wishes to reclaim the dyke presence in the Pride Parade (as she puts it).



Two things:

1) What's so horrible about a corporate pride? In my opinion, corporations bring in hundreds of workers and volunteers who otherwise wouldn't be present. And their presence is more than welcomed because we're inclusive, right? Thus, helping us in our mission to create awareness and promote acceptance. It's not like our GLBTTQQI2 presence/power declines as theirs increases. Also, they contribute millions of dollars, helping in making us one of the worlds larges pride festivals in the world.

2) A drag-queen feminist trying to reclaime the "dyke" presence in Toronto Pride. Have we ever had a presence? Is a male feminist really the one speaking up for us? Or is this their need for acceptance in a female community?



Anyways, may be the girl I was talking to was talking out of her ass and just wanted to be an angry lesbian. Pride is about loving. So please, my friends, think positively this pride. The G20 is over along with the "QuAIA" fiasco.
