Cancelling gay pride in SF

Of course it is going to be cancelled.

extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Yes, of course, gay pride celebration should outweigh the public health.

Eye roll.

Just think of the spontaneous Pride everywhere when this is finally over! There'll be fucking in the streets!

[quote]Im horrified at the prospect that they might cancel it.

MARY!

Your concern for my health is literally homophobic!!!!

OP, if you're so desperate to rub one out while watching strangers suck and fuck on the street just watch videos from last year's pride on Pornhub.

Cancelling gay pride is LITERAL MURDER!!!

Los Angeles already cancelled their Pride.

Things are NOT going to be back to normal by June.

provincetown, and indeed, likely ALL public events will be cancelled, dearie.

It's not a matter of "might" OP. It's going to get cancelled. Sorry, Mary.

Who fucking cares about Pride? It's the goddamned apocalypse.

Don’t let that schoolmarm tell YOU what to do, OP. You just march your pretty ass right out there and SHOW YOUR PRIDE no matter what. Who wants to live forever?

I think if they cancel pride, gays should take to the streets in mass protest and tear the city up like they did after the Dan White acquittal.

Op in drag performed at The Proms in London. Nice work.

If you are American, you need to spell "canceled" with ONE L, not TWO Ls.

Jealous fat bitches are happy as they don't have to see people having fun.

Whatever will the trannies do?

Gee, I can feel the spirit of Pride just radiating from your post r18.

Stay home, pour yourself a cocktail, put on some Gloria Gaynor and dance around in a thong.

I'm sorry, OP, this year you're just going to have to fuck yourself.

The hysteria will die down by then.

Maybe you be be proud without a parade?

Bummer, I was so ready.

Please Mary.

Mayor Breed is an idiot yes but the greater Bay Area governments made a JOINT AND SMART decision to shelter in place early.

They should extend it, but SF idiots are too entitled and immature to think they should be held as responsible adults. Too many Peter Pans in this town.

SF Pride has been tragic for a decade now. As has been the Castro.

Seriously can't believe some tragic SF queen is crying over this.

OMG !!!! We cant march in solidarity with our trans brothers and sisters !!!

I don’t get these people who think everything will be back to normal in a couple of months. They’re building a fucking hospital in Central Park right now. This is going to be catastrophic and we won’t be back to “normal” for another year.

OP = Russian disinformation specialist working diligently through the plague to try to make idiots believe anyone thinks glittery gogo boys on pickup truck floats is more important than a mass die-off.

This is suppose to be a free country and yet, our freedoms have been taken away. People should not be just sitting back and accepting this.

Go back to Moscow, [R30].

Extra! Extra! Gay Pride replaced with Gay Disappointment as Rona continues to wreak havoc throughout America!

OP and R30 - if SF Pride is not happening, may I suggest that you use the time freed up in your busy calendar(s) to take a remedial English course?

The use of “Suppose to be” is always the sign of an idiot.

Bay Area Shelter in Place extended to May 1.

Sorry OP, not happening this year.

Oh OP, you moronic fucktard of little brain. No one will miss you, if you go traipsing off into the parade traffic of your mind.

Don't rain on OP's parade.

SF's Pride Committee is full on still pushing for Pride 50 to continue despite everything going on.

I'm sure they will argue it's about how the show must go on, resiliency, normalcy, etc.

But like every SF organization, they just need to justify their existence and salaries.

In San Diego, our Pride parade is in mid-July. No word yet about cancellation.

California has several Pride parades so it has to spread them out:

May: Long Beach. June: SF and LA, July: San Diego. August: Orange County. November: Palm Springs.

LA and Long Beach Pride were canceled weeks ago. And before you dismiss it because it's not SF, it still draws a crowd of about 500,000 people each year. Did you just wake up OP

I wish they would cancel them all in perpetuity. They've been taken over by psychotic, deluded trans homophobes anyway.

You know what, I think we all need a break from Pride anyway. They have become too commercial, repetitive and stagnant. Maybe it's a good time to regroup for next year with new people and new ideas instead of the career pride people grifting off the event.

"Don't rain on OP's parade."

All the gay boys immediately flashed back to one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Tonys.

At some point, people have to rise up and say, ENOUGH of this shit! Cancelling summer festivals is a step too far!

I thought gay pride is also about our fight against the epidemic. We are not afraid of AIDS, why should we be scared of COVID-19?

Fuck the virus, we're proud and we're not scared!!!

R45 Uhh, pretty sure "we" were scared of AIDS.

And modified our behavior.

Enjoy mass disruptions through the summer because you can't sit your ass at home for one month.

"I don’t get these people who think everything will be back to normal in a couple of months. They’re building a fucking hospital in Central Park right now."

Let's clear up this information.

It's tent examination rooms which are being utilized as a temporary assistance in servicing the high number of patients.

They are not constructing a physical hospital building in the traditional sense.

They are thinking of using the old Raiders stadium in Oakland for the same here in the Bay Area (makeshift treatment facility).

Things won't be normal until Fall.

Spring and summer are shot.

No one is having any parties or parades in the next few months OP. Let it go, it's not the end of the world. If you are very lucky, maybe Halloween. And that is a big maybe.

Mass deaths of old fat farts and smokers are to be accepted, albeit with heavy heart. Told them hundreds of time to fucking lose weight and/or stop smoking. But never did they listen!!! Well it's time for corona-dearest to run its course of population control. At least what's left will be younger, leaner and healthier people. Less burden to social security too.

The OP is trolling, but really come on, you didn't even put in 1% of effort.

San Francisco and the bay area put more restrictions on people today. We are now officially a police state!

Now that the have actually done the unthinkable and canceled the 50th anniversary of pride. Gays should decend on the city in mass on that day anyway and march down Market street locked arm in arm in a fuck you to city of SF and social distancing!

I don't see it happen, but I'd love nothing more than for Pride to regain its counter-cultural roots. It's so boring as a government-sanctioned, corporate-sponsored annual function.

Oh lord! At this point Pride is beer companies, politicians and straight people everywhere. Super boring.

So truelala R57. Well-intentioned and overly friendly bank tellers and cable company representatives or likely homophobic straights looking/forced to work extra hours who look miserable in their booths all day long.

I'm going to boycott anything in SF once life get back to normal. There is no justification to cancel pride.
