It no longer resembles its original self, and coporate interference has killed it. Now it's far too welcoming, for lack of a better word. 75% of the crowd are heteros now, the trans and leather D/S elements have been toned down to the point of not even existing....
It's devolved from a very in your face adult-themed event for the GLBTQ community to a G-rated party for white urban hipster families with smiling, marching gays as entertainment.
So sad.
True!!

I dunno, but it was annoying. I don't know of any group who wanted to march who wasn't allowed to.

I understand where the protesters were coming from, but was this really the most effective strategy?
