I don't feel like getting in the middle of this right now.

But, I am posting a video of the New York Gay Pride Parade from 2019.

I'm not going to watch it. I fast forwarded a bit, and it's what I expected. Except, it is much LARGER than I expected, but that's because I don't live in NY.

My point is, every liberal city in the USA has these parades, and they come out in force. It is a sizable force. It's worth understanding what the situation looks like.
