There is a growing split among leftist stalwarts Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ movement. On June 25, Black Lives Matter NYC published an open letter slamming NYC Pride for the huge numbers of police helping protect their parade and the NYPD vehicles displaying Pride decals.
The letter demanded “the removal of uniformed police and PRIDE-detailed vehicles from the NYC Pride parade … a commitment to transform the culture and events of PRIDE to center the lives of those most marginalized — queer and transgender Black communities … the honoring of our ancestors and elders with true integrity of their radical existence.”
