And maybe a little bit of Halloween, for all the queer horror obsessives out there. Perhaps it’s time for queer people to ditch Pride entirely, and pin our yearly celebration of ourselves to Eurovision, and Eurovision only. And such messages seem particularly disingenuous in a country where parts of the national press is engaged in an endless, and increasingly nasty hate campaign against trans people. But, since I became aware of Pride in my late teens, it’s mutated into the one month of the year where companies try to sell me – a lesbian – their crap, while extolling the power of a liberal world in which they can in engage in as much corporate malfeasance as humanly possible, while freely farting out buzzwords like “inclusion” and “equality”. I grew up under the censorship of Section 28, and know that queer visibility can literally save lives. Pride used to be something I took moderately seriously.

Had this idea been run by a queer person, they probably would have advised against pairing tops with tops, and bottoms with bottoms. Meanwhile in Austria, Burger King has launched a Pride Whopper, made with either two top, or two bottom buns. Lord Geidt has chosen to quit with honour after Boris Johnson's Partygate debacle 15 June, 2022 The bear market shows crypto-currencies are no hedge against inflation 15 June, 2022 Amber Heard has shown astonishing fortitude and she won't be silenced 15 June, 2022 It’s a symbol, if anything, for the Pride rainbow colours being so overused, that they’ve been emptied of all meaning. Either you can try in vain to unpack the deeply confusing symbolism here, or accept that no thought went into it whatsoever. An empty gesture which transcended parody this month, when the US Marines shared a Pride post via their official Twitter account, featuring a soldier’s helmet adorned with six bullets in the colours of the rainbow. It’s an opportunity to show off your “gay friendly” credentials, in one giant rainbow-painted empty gesture.

It perfectly expresses the pandering, uneducated tone of almost every corporation in the Western world during the cursed month of June.Īt this point, Pride is basically for straight people. We are sashaying away with deals.” The line “Hi gay” quickly became a meme in itself, has made a reappearance this year and has – I comfortably predict – set the tone for every future Pride month, until the collapse of civilisation. In it, she plays the part of a “butter shop” owner, awkwardly trying to appeal to queer customers for Pride. In June last year, a video by American comedian Meg Stalter went viral on social media. If we could – for one moment – set aside their part in the UK’s housing crisis (homelessness disproportionately affects LGBTQ+ people, by the way) they have, according to this email, committed themselves to safe spaces for said people, and created a rainbow flower display outside their Sloane Square branch. My Pride month this year kicked off with a press release from Foxtons the estate agent.
