The time of year when the heat rolls in and school lets out and seemingly every corporation puts a rainbow filter over their logos and tweets some iteration of “love is love.” But despite the “Santacon but for queers” vibe that Pride parades have taken on recently, there are still good reasons to celebrate. Pride is an assertion of self, a taking up of public space historically unsafe for expressing queerness openly. Beyond that, the event itself can mean different things for different people. For some, it’s simply a vibrant celebration of being able to be who you are in public. For others, it’s an act of political solidarity: A wonderfully diverse community comes together to affirm itself as a collective movement toward equality for all. And for others, the event’s origin as the commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Inn uprising against a police raid, and the days of civil unrest that followed, makes Pride an annual protest against oppressive state violence. So who is Pride for? Whose experience and comfort should be prioritized? What do the marchers represent? These are some of the questions complicating this year’s Pride, given last year’s national reckoning over police brutality and the continuing movement for Black Lives. And last year in New York, the [police](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiozG_P0TyaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vdmlkZW8vbnlyZWdpb24vMTAwMDAwMDA3MjEzOTA2L3F1ZWVyLWxpYmVyYXRpb24tbWFyY2gtbmV3LXlvcmsuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIxMDYwOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zMjU1NCZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02MDIwNyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYLm_rMBgBLvOu1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) cracked down on queer liberation marchers, on what would have been 2020 Pride Sunday.
