iPhone_7 06/21/21 8:03:36 PM #1:	Pride event in Seattle will charge white people a "reparations fee" to attend, organizers said. "White people and their accomplices" will have to pay anywhere from $10 to $50 at the TAKING B[L]ACK PRIDE event, according to the event's page. The Capitol Hill Pride organizers asked the Seattle Human Rights Commission to look into the situation citing "reverse racism." The commission weighed in on the legality of the event in a statement, which they posted to Twitter. The Washington United Territories of Pacific Islanders Alliance supported the event's organizers and condemned the Capitol Hill Pride directors in a Facebook post. According to the Seattle Municipal Code section that prohibits discrimination, "It is unlawful for any person occupying or using any park or recreation facility for any event, activity or exhibition open to the public, whether or not under a permit and whether or not an admission or entrance fee is charged, to deny to any other person the full use and enjoyment of such park and recreation facility because of race..." https://www.newsweek.com/reparations-fee-charged-white-people-seattle-gay-pride-event-1602735 https://youtu.be/w6i6XhS1AbI The Right is eating itself --- Sig User Logic https://imgur.com/lA5fm7w <cite>iPhone_7 posted [p:955287787] in To protest...

Lost_All_Senses 06/21/21 8:47:08 PM #7:	I'm curious why this is a Pride parade thing. And I agree that it's just penalizing the people already on your side. A lot of which are probably struggling financially along with you. Millionaires aren't showing up to give free money. They didn't become millionaires by putting others first. Maybe one or 2 celebrities for clout chasing, but other than that you're just making your allies feel less welcomed. --- Name checks out "Try to talk and they ain't listening, but they'll point it out when you get ignorant" - Dreezy <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:955289251] in To protest...

Something called the Seattle Human Rights Commission seems fine with it. "Black trans and queer peoples are among the most marginalized and persecuted peoples with the LGBTQIA2S+ community. They often face shame not only from the cis-heteronormative community, but within the queer community at large as well.
