Whoās the wokest of them all?
On Saturday, LGBT supporters of Just Stop Oil disrupted a āprideā parade in London.
Apparently, the regular gay folk werenāt woke enough for the anti-Oil gay folk.
According to The Guardian, Just Stop Oil had called on organizers of the parade to prohibit floats sponsored by āhigh-pollutingā companies like Coca-Cola and to denounce the development of new Oil, gas and coal projects.
The eco-activists threatened āpotential escalationsā if their demands were not met.
But it seems that even āprideā has some limits on wokeness, and the parade went on as planned.
So, true to their word, a group of demonstrators blocked the road in front of a Coca-Cola float, bringing the parade to a 15-minute halt.
The Guardian reported that police had to physically pick up the protesters and take them away. Seven individuals were arrested.
Just Stop Oil posted video of the protest on Twitter with a long thread, part of which read:
āThe LGBTQ+ supporters of Just Stop Oil have taken action against Pride in London today, because the organisation is working with industries complicit in worsening the climate crisis.ā
āNew Oil and gas is a death sentence for millions of people, and the LGBTQ+ community will be one of the first to suffer.ā
The group didnāt specify exactly how the LGBT community would be one of the āfirst to sufferā from the āclimate crisis.ā
Perhaps they are worried that rising temperatures will cause their makeup to melt faster. Admittedly, that could cause a few breakdowns in the community.
For now, their fight with the Oil companies is only hurting their own cause.
If it lessens the chances of our kids seeing naked men on the street celebrating their āpride,ā itās just one more reason to support the Oil and gas industry.
