Just like this bigoted bullshit:

Marchers carrying Jewish Pride flags asked to leave Chicago Dyke March

And this arrogant and selfish twaddle:

BLM shuts down gay pride parade in Seattle

As far as I am concerned, all three are examples of homophobia FROM the gay community brought about with a massive does of heterosexism and heterosexual privilege. They are simply using the power of those who oppress us to oppress their own.

All this exclusive squabbling, refusing to listen to the other side, and attempts to shame groups they don't like needs to go away. If two groups can't get along separate them and let everyone express pride in who they are whether they be BLM, police, Palestinian, Jewish or whatever!

This divisiveness only helps the bigots and haters!!!

As far as I am concerned, it is just another example of heterosexual supremacy and it is being used by LGBT and that makes it even more insulting.
