The annual Pride Parade in Buffalo is huge, raucous and wonderfully well-attended, but for many years it has been depoliticized by corporate sponsorship, becoming a party rather than a rallying point for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. For the parade on June 1 this year, the Buffalo/Western New York International Action Center called activists out to bring a radical political edge back to Pride.
Declaring that “All issues are LGBTQ issues!” the group carried a banner and drove a car plastered with placards, and urged activists to march in the contingent to unite against war, racism, sexism and anti-LGBTQ bigotry. Throughout the length of the parade, the contingent was greeted with a huge roar of approval from the crowds.
