exactly. capitalism has assimilated "gay" culture into itself, and destroying the historically radical nature of the queer community. the gay movement has become a way to sell shit when we're celebrating the aniversary of a riot...queers need to reclaim radicalism and not just act like straights and try to obtain straight privilege
The queer community is a minority within the gay community. Acknowledge that and you'll live a happier life.
Being gay is being mainstream. In any case, a person should be exclusively defined by his or her actions and the content of her or his character, and not by skin pigmentation, national heritage, sexual orientation, etc.
If you don't like that, then why don't you organize your own alternative Gay Prade parade.
