Maybe due to hot dogs/Polish/pizza dominating the local scene. There's a few decent ones, but they're usually either bougie, overpriced, or average (sometimes all 3) personally, unless I'm sitting outside in the sun, I'm not really craving BBQ. I enjoy the process of making it more than I do actually eating it.

Yeah it's a big fun party nowadays, but pride has always been about protest.

Protest of us being treated as lesser than, as pedophiles, as criminals, as disease carriers, as sinners, as unworthy of love and basic human decency.

That your annoyance about the way dem politics are going is enough to, not just overshadow the above, but to actively shit on it, shows that you can't possibly be on my side.

Desantis bans cities from lighting up bridges with rainbow lights and Jacksonville says nah

Posted by ATL <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=ATL' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on June 2, 2025, 20:26:28, in reply to "Happy pride, deuce!"

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/defying-desantis-florida-pride-marchers

Last year, when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a ban on the cherished tradition of lighting up Florida bridges in rainbow colors for Pride, queer activists brought flashlights and did it themselves.

This year, as the hordes of rally-goers approached the Main Street Bridge in Jacksonville, flashlights in tow, the drawbridge began to rise—with no warning and no boats approaching, organizers told Erin in the Morning. The bridge stayed upright until the marchers turned around and left, but they didn’t go home.

Instead, organizers pivoted and walked to the nearby Acosta Bridge, which is contiguous. There, they celebrated Pride with the full spectrum of the rainbow—showing they didn’t need permission from the state for queer visibility.

“We are old and tired and just want to be taken care of.” - Republican voter, Dec. 2024.

god that guy is a fuck. why NOT let them light up bridges?!?*

"the government will protect trans people according to the protections we give all people, but we don't give even the tiniest iota of fucks if they compete in athletics. With such vast networks of sports, schools, leagues, the government will work to make sure they aren't discriminated against on hiring, housing, or education. All matters of competition are left to the individual leagues."

Instead, we seemingly traded medicaid, economic stability, protected national parks, environmental regulation, corporate regulation, our standing in the world political scene for something that affects .0001% of people. That's not a good way to go about it.

Win elections, dems Then you could do something to actually help the people you claim to care about.

It's not party over principle. It's willing to do what is necessary so you're actually able to act on your principles.

All that stuff (rescinding environmental regulation, etc.) is the goal.

But "help us poison you!" doesn't win elections.

So instead, they found some issues that make people angry and deeply concerned. The killing of innocent babies is a great one. The unfairness of men in girls' sports is the latest one.

The Democrats are offering to take your money and give it to other people (but also to build you some roads, and ensure that there's a hospital near you, just in case). It's not nearly so appealing.

the problem here is how incredibly effective the right has been at weaponizng this and scaring the shit out of people. This is unpopular, but at this point in time I think the smart move is to concede the issue of trans somen in sports. It's an 80/20 issue.
