Very Laid Back But Packed To The Gills - Philly Pride 2023

  • A walk through the biggest and tamest Philly Pride Day in my memory... what it lacked in intensity it overwhelmed in numbers - it was soooo crowded! So many people and so little going on.... it was weird. I've been going to pride in Philly and NYC for decades but this was something very different from anything I have seen before. No live music, no floats, not bands, no shows, no stages, no craziness. Like a craft fair on steroids. Welcome to the future?

    What? No stages?
    THERE WERE SIX STAGES AT THIS YEAR'S PRIDE! It surely seems intentional that all six of them were missed. The video also failed to capture the loudest, most raucous, and fun sections of the festival (dancing in the streetes,etc.) It also failed to show any footage of the march which included the largest pride flag in history...yes, right here in Philly! It was nearly the length of a football field.

    Interesting to compare Philly Pride with Pride in my own town, Reading in southern England. Ours is a lot smaller (understandably, for a much smaller city - about 350,000 population), and starts with a march through the town centre then out to a park with stages, singers, bands, drag acts, funfair etc. A lot of local organisations - police, fire-fighters, trades unions, political parties (even the Conservatives) have stalls, and even some religious organisations like the Quakers. Our Pride attracts a lot of furries (I'm not surprised to see none in your video - Philly Pride looks FAR too hot for fur suits) as well as a large contingent called Pups of the South, men into leather and puppy play. ♥

What is so effing criminally wrong with that? I mean the people on the right said they're always being persecuted for their beliefs and not be allowed to be Christian and all that well they see. It's a little hypocritical to not let these people do what they want to do?

      She didn't cover the loudest and most raucous parts of the festival. And there were actually SIX STAGES! I'm not sure why she failed to include them and falsely report there were no stages.
      And there was a march rather than a parade. The march included the largest pride flag ever made. It wasn't captured in this video either.
      The organizers are planning a parade and festival for National Coming Out Day in October.
      March in June. Parade in October. This is actually more historically accurate planning- that a march would happen for pride (anniversary month of Stonewall) and a celebratory parade for coming out day!

    Packed indeed! A never ending river of lovely humans, roughly same size as here in Gdańsk a week ago. Our Pride is a march with a bunch of trucks and a scene at the end, it always starts somewhere in the downtown and ends at the "hipster" post-industrial part of the Gdańsk shipyard, a place that made history in the '80s.
    We had a few "tourists" on the way but that was two or three orders of magnitude less than participants. Pitiful.
    Still, I was probably the only person who had a leather pride flag, like last year. None of that "no kinks at Pride" BS. We always were, are and will be there - ever since Stonewall!
    Fran-kly, I would also feel weird if I were there. No march? No demonstrating? Whaaaaaaaat?
    Speaking of which... I feel weird at marches where no one shouts any slogans. That was always there, ever since I went to my first Manifa in 2008 (and maybe some minor demos before but not that many). And this? Looks like a street fair, not something political.
    Oh, BTW... I'll keep a close watch on the comment section here. Just a fair warning for anyone who thinks about pulling some shenanigans.
