More importantly, Pride itself a reference to the Stonewall Riots, in which cops brutally assaulted LGBTQ+ citizens with great malice and the citizens fought back.

June 28th, 1969

The first Pride Parade was a year later, on June 27th, 1970

The reason cops shouldn't be allowed at Pride is because cops violence against the LGBTQ+ community is why Pride fucking exists to begin with.

One of my friends from a local theater group I did some musicals with had a brick pin they wear to every pride event they attend.

It's my favorite pin ever.
