Old adage – never box beneath your weight.

Let it slide – the focus and attention is what they crave!

There is absolutely nothing to be gained from Mardi Gras censuring this person. All that will happen is that the rest of the Board will be viewed as corporate, inflexible and unable to take criticism. So much better to ignore him, very politely. He sounds like is a lone figure among – is it 8? – and self-evidently powerless on the Board. If they censure him – something that arose in Mardi Gras culture about 8 years ago and is really quite alien to its hsitory – that issue will occupy them, and take away the attention on Mardi Gras itself, which now has to show that it can resurge post-pandemic and without WorldPride, which is quite a big enough job without having to swat away every gnat who buzzes around their face.

Pride in Protest can’t exist if they don’t have an issue to protest. It’s common knowledge that they are anti-Marti Gras. An example of minor radicals wanting to take control over the community.
As a long term community member, it be really good to known what are the current rights the LGBT+ are fighting for….????. Besides nominated gender on documents, surgical banned on intersex infants and religious institutions exemptions, what are the other rights issues on the agenda? We keep hearing about these “rights”, but what are these. Think Pride in Protest is suffering from Activist FOMO as the majority of the rights have been achieved. They are not LGBT friends.
