In an epic display of competitive time-wasting, the fabulous Chicago gay price parade was disrupted by the ever-victimized #BlackLivesMatter protesters. This was after a series of other disruptions caused by gang activities, gun shots, and a car driving into a group of bystanders.

It's still unclear as to which group prevailed as the biggest victims.

Is this a proud day for america, or what?

Yeesh, and on the anniversary of Stonewall. Either that BlackLivesMatter group was stupid and didn't check for any planned parades or marches before they went with it, or they did this just to be a**holes.

I saw a few things on face book reminding me not to forget the Charleston shooting and police violence while celebrating marriage equality. It annoyed me more than anything else. These people are just as bad as conservatives so eager to be angry so simple that they can not experience joy in times of sorrow. Its a sign of the times we live in everyone has to be a victim. Conservatives are victims of the media, blacks victims of the police, Christians victims of society the list goes on. Every group has to be a victim and become outraged on a daily basis.

The black gay community does have legitimate grips with the broader gay community. On a whole white gays ignore us until they need allies to fight for equality. Then they are back to the very segregated world of gay pride. Gay men are fetishized by the gay community but rarely treated as equals. There is a time and place for everything. Hijacking such a proud moment in our collective communities just makes us black gays seem desperate and weak.

I saw on the news that they stopped the parade by lying down in the middle of a major cross street.

Why, of course they're laying down!

It must be so completely exhausting to be a victim every second of every day.

Yeah, I think that the blacks and sodomites are going to clash more in the coming months, especially since most blacks are not in favor of sodomite "marriage".

Not surprising as both groups are damn near professional agitators that can't even get along among themselves, much less with each other.

Default Gay pride parade disrupted by #BlackLivesMatter protesters

They have a lot in common, maybe they can join together.

You all failed to mention that the black lives matter protestors were invited by black LGBTQ persons. In the picture on the OP, they displayed the rainbow flag.

FYI to CD posters, maybe you're not aware, but there are black gay people.....IJS...
