Kestral<p>Today is London Pride - or rather “Pride in London” - the corporate entity that inhabits the husk of one of the world’s oldest pride marches.</p><p>Among its sponsors are a tabloid newspaper that has run more anti-trans stories in the past 5 years than any other single issue.</p><p>Year after year they fail to address fundamental complaints about inclusion and safety, corporate interference, and a lack of representation in their leadership.</p><p>I throw no shade at anyone attending - there’s no major alternative and I know how important pride can be.</p><p>But we deserve better. You deserve better.</p><p>No pride in corporate pinkwashing. No pride in rainbow capitalism.</p><p>Pride in our diversity, in our community, in our resilience and strength and love.</p><p><a href="https://hackers.town/tags/PrideInLondon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrideInLondon</span></a> <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/LondonPride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LondonPride</span></a> <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/NotGoingToPrideButStillFuckingProud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotGoingToPrideButStillFuckingProud</span></a></p>
