Nobody at Pride is offending anyone on purpose. What people choose to find offensive is outside of our control. Pride isn't FOR easily offended cis/straight people, anyway. It isn't for people who center sexist, sex-negative, heteronormative values.

Pride is for US, meaning US queer people, many of whom value utterly different ways of thinking and being.

And it has been since the very first Pride protests in 1970.
