Initialism: Trans and Asexuals Opinions on Which Types of Gays Are Acceptable at a Pride Parade
This video should show clearly what the problems with Initialism (LGBTQXYZ) is.
The following video is titled, “Who Belongs At Pride? (Cops, King, A-spec)”.
It has 26,095 Views (6/4/2019) and 1.5K likes. So this isn’t just the stray opinion of one person but represents a view with a significant following.
This video clearly shows how Initialism and the use of the word “queer” works against the Gay community and how it has resulted in the appropriation of the formerly known Gay Day Parades by tiny little sexual minorities who presume to dictate to the Gay Community. It also shows how smug these little groups are.
I will provide links after this essay and the video below to other writings on Initialism. The times given below are a few seconds early from when the topic actually begins.
Time: 1:11 After explaining that they have never been pride the discussion starts on who should be allowed at pride.
Time: 1:46 Starts with the discussion whether “cops” should be allowed at the Pride Parade.
Luxander makes the false historical claim that the Stonewall Rebellion was a trans event which gives Luxander a moral claim on defining who should be at Pride.
The argument is that since police raided the Gay bar, the Stonewall Inn back in 1969 they shouldn’t be at the Pride Parades in the present.
Luxander claims that the police and “queers” are inherently hostile as if the situation between sexual minorities and the police is still the same in 2019 when the video was made, 50 years after the Stonewall Rebellion. The whole point of the Lesbian and Gay movement was to have society change its views of Lesbians and Gays and eliminate prejudice.
If the the police are marching in the Pride Parade in uniform it represents a great victory for the Lesbian movement.
Obviously Luxander has no idea about the issue of Gay bashing and the physical safety of Gays.
The presence of police officers in uniform is extremely important for the physical safety of Lesbians, Gays, and others in the initialism.
The whole point of police marching in the Pride Parade is to send very important messages.
A message to fellow police officers that homophobia and violence against sexual minorities is not a department policy and to the contrary police are to protect sexual minorities from violence and agression like any other citizens.
A message to fellow police officers that there are sexual minority police officers within the police department and an internal culture of homophobia isn’t going to be tolerated.
A message to Gay bashers that the police are not going to be enablers of Gay bashing and will be treating anti-Gay violence and violence against sexual minorities as any other crime. The police will not be sympathetic to Gay bashing.
Gay citizens and other sexual minorities should not be apprehensive of the police and feel free to call them when they need them. It has been a problem for decades that Gay bashers and robbers target Gays because they are seen as afraid to call the police.
Gay bashing is even now in late 2021 still a serious problem and issue for the Gay community and it is certainly for trans people. Luxander doesn’t really have any logic behind her prohibition against police officers.
There is another issue here regarding police officers. Gays are going to come from all geographical locations, social classes, racial and ethnic backgrounds, social backgrounds, religious backgrounds and a full variety of social pasts. The challenge will be to have group cohesion and find the overarching things to draw the Gay community together and have inclusion of the entirity of society.
Alphabet Soup political partisans will seek to represent their particular political agenda as the agenda of the Gay community and attempt to exclude from the Gay community discussion their political opponents. Sometimes their agenda is aligned with the interests of the Gay community, sometimes not. The Gay agenda needs to be as inclusive as possible and have space for all the members of the Gay community excepting those who have an explicitly anti-Gay agenda. Some Alphabet Soup political partisans don’t care if they shatter the Gay community in the pursuit of their agenda. Luxander obviously has no concern for Gay group cohesion or even cohesion of the Alphabet Soups other letters. Luxanders political agenda comes first and the agendas of the individual groups making up the Alphabet Soup come second.
Time: 2:40 Luxander makes a claim that if there was an attack on the Pride Parade the uniformed police officers wouldn’t be of any use.
Of course the presence of police at the parade would be very useful in case of an attack, but also by just being present, it sends a message to violent homophobes that the police will be at the parade and their policy will be to defend the parade. It is quite a deterrent to any potential attacks.
Time: 2:50 Luxander about the police at Pride says, “the only thing police do there is essentially represent represent a threat of impending violence towards our community.”
This makes no sense whatsoever. The police department which prohibited police officers from being in the Pride parade or prohibited them to be present in uniform in the Pride parade would be worrisome.
The presence of uniformed police in the Pride parade sends a message that they they see their function of police protection to include sexual minorities.
Luxander doesn’t like the police, and so Luxander just pulls some incoherent bundle of scary words out of the air to make her personal politics seem like they are aligned with the needs of sexual minorities.
The undermining of the personal security of sexual minorities for her personal political animuses and misrepresent them as being the interests of sexual minorities when the problem of personal safety of sexual minorities is severe is atrocious.
Time: 3:12 Doesn’t think there should be a police officer contingent in the Pride parade or a float. Luxander states, “The nature of Pride is inherently based on the advesarily relationship that exists there.” This is just asserted without proof, it is true because Luxander says so. Luxander probably thinks this exhibits Luxander’s superior moral nature.
In some places in the world, Pride events are only able to exist because of police protection, in particular Korea. I will provide some links after this essay.
The undermining of the personal security of sexual minorities for Luxander’s personal political animuses and misrepresent them as being the interests of sexual minorities when the problem of personal safety of sexual minorities is severe is atrocious.
Time: 3: 43 Discusses whether asexuals should be part of Pride. This is where the general Lesbian and Gay communities are beginning to realize that Initialisms and the use of “queer” is part of dispossessing them of their events and marginalizing them. Since this event is defined as that for the Alphabet Soup, and was appropriated from the Lesbian and Gay communities, I suppose any letter or who defines themself as “queer” should be able to attend.
As just stated, what is beginning to be realized by Gays and Lesbians is that their annual parade has been taken from them and instead a small group of people will be inviting any sexual minority in. It is the equivalent if Black History Month was renamed People of Color Month or BIPOC Month or BILXYZPOC.
Luxander unwittingly makes it clear that “queer” is a straight centered identity and stares at straightness though at the same time being unaware that Luxander is doing so. Likely Luxander wouldn’t be able even to comprehend that.
The problem of asexuals at Pride becomes apparent when the topic of kink comes up.
Time: 5:24 Kink at Pride parades starts to be discussed.
A lot of negative views of Kink at pride is given with basically the idea that their mere presence at the parade will trigger some sensitive souls. The usual people who want to star in their own drama.
Evidently there are people who want a safe space from sex and also want to go to the Pride parade. Sort of like wanting to river rafting but having a morbid fear of water.
In order to get around the sexual scolds and their phobias Luxander relates a claim that made by a leather person that wearing leather gear isn’t sexual. The whole point of leather gear is a sexual display. However, we evidently are at a point where leather has to neuter itself because of Respectability Gays and asexuals.
Time: 8:30 Starts to define Gay community ideas as the older generation’s ideas and the wanting to desexualize Pride as the wants of the younger generation to stigmatize one set of ideas as being the older generation’s ideas.
This is to frame sexual liberation as that of old people, and freedom from things, which would be the sexual repression of pride as the avant garde of young people.
Time: 8:57 “Older kinksters”
However, leather is still practices by some young people, and the puppy masks have been taken up by many young Gay men.
Time: 9:13 Starts explaining how younger people are supportive of asexuals and so support sexually repressing Pride.
This is when the key arguement comes into play. Since all the letters of the initialism as mashed together as queer, Lesbians, Gays, Trans, and Asexuals, are all lumped together and Pride is defined as a queer event, Asexuals, though a tiny number present get to dictate the sexual repression of Pride.
HOWEVER, Luxander does says that kink should be allowed to be at Pride but on the basis of denying that it is a sexual display. But Luxander goes on to frame tolerating it as indulging older Gays. Also, as will be clear at Time: 12:35 it is tolerated because Luxander has sexually repressed leather gear by defining it as not being sexual.
Time: 10:58 “Older leather people.” Ageism is brought into play to stigmatize leather people as old and behind the times, and they are permitted since they are part of the pioneering generation.
Luxander does see that leather Gays have been victimized by Respectability Gays. Perhaps Luxander understands at some level that the cluster of ideas held by Respectability Gays could be applied against trans or those who are not gender conforming.
Time: 12:22 Suggests seperate events for those bothered by sex. I am not against this, I suggest a seperate event for Gays, and then the rest can have their event where they can be Calvinists. There are people who complain about shirtless Gays dancing on floats. They could go to this alternative event.
Time: 12:35 “I don’t want to say sexual gear, or anything like that, because like to me, again, wearing the leather is not in and of itself inherently sexual.”
Of course the so point of wearing leather gear is to be sexual in a certain way.
Time 12:45. As to whether kinksters belong at pride, Luxander’s answer isn’t that they do on a general basis, but only because they were at the founding of the Pride Parades. This justification implies if it was a new movement, they wouldn’t be allowed because they upset asexuals.
What Luxander realizes about leather is that prohibiting leather at the Pride parades would shatter the LGBTQ+ and there would be multiple events. Asexuals and transgender people in themselves wouldn’t be able to have much of a Pride event at all if the Lesbians and Gays left. These other letters besides the L for Lesbians and G for Gays don’t add up to much of an event let alone a Parade.
The strategy of these later letters in the initialism is to utilize the event which Lesbians and Gays and their communities create and tag along with a strategy to attempt to control it through proclamations of being victimized by Lesbians and Gays.
There was an event in which Drag Queens were prohibited because of trans complaints. That didn’t catch on either. The Alphabet Soup leadership realizes that there are trip wires in which the Gay community might wake up and seize the control its own events.
Time: 13:03 Sees inherent conflict between Kink at Pride and asexuals. Just doesn’t have a solution. The obvious solution is that Pride is for Lesbians and Gays and you go have your own event, but that wouldn’t be much at all, and what would your audience be for displaying your personal drama of victimhood.
Evidently there is supposedly a class of individuals who have been traumatized by kink.
All this nonsense is a consequence of initialism. Tiny little groups through lumping everyone together as “queer” attempt to dictate to Lesbians and Gays how they will exist under the queer umbrella and how their events will be managed.

Adding Letters in, Kicking Gays Out
KOREAN PRIDE BEING PROTECTED OR NOT PROTECTED BY POLICE
You can Google using the terms Korea, pride, Christians, violence and find dozens and dozens of articles.
This is a case where the police didn’t do their job. It was such a scandle that next year ambassadors from six nations attented and the police did their job.
http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20180909000245
There had been threats of violence by Christians. There was another Pride event
Pride in Korea exists in a hostile environment and Pride often can’t exist without police presence providing protection.
The fact that we have police voluntarily wanting to march in the parade in uniform is a great benefit that Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, and others around the world can only dream of and surely envy.
