(And yet, there's this whole other conversation about what we're losing/leaving behind when we become respectable. When Pride is a big corporate party, and there's something we left behind in the seedy bars that were above the strip clubs in the smaller cities. A danger of uncritically moving into the mainstream, and leaving politics and alliances forged in the vulnerable spaces when we lived at the margins.)
