Slurs spraypainted on queer bar just before Black Pride in hate crime: “It was really scary”

To be honest, with the way things are, I am not sure if I will celebrate pride in a public setting ever again. I wish I was joking. When I was younger, it was my favorite thing ever. I mean it was like a big gay paradise, and anything could happen. One of the last ones I went to just had cops shouting in the faces of everyone the entire time the parade passed through. I lived for a while in a place without any sort of pride. I think though, due to Trump being re-elected bigots have been emboldened. They see their prejudices as just and righteous and extremist are pretty unhinged nowadays. I'd absolutely hate if I lost someone I loved, or myself just because I wanted to go celebrate a protes-ival. I suppose that's the whole point of their terrorism, but really I will let others go out and scream from the walls. I think my day in that scene has come and went, and I don't mind because of the current state of things.

Also true story, there's like 10 gay bars (well 10 lesbian bars, idk about gay bars) and two of them are for bipoc, so idk why people have to double down on their hatred. Lastly DC has long since been scrubbed of anyone but the wealthy so I bet you these are some Tate heads or some shit, because idk who else would be in the area and decide to smash up a gay bar.
