This is being investigated as a terrorist attack, and it will have a terror effect in Norway; pride celebration (including the parade) has been canceled out of security concerns.
For those who wonder why we need pride parades, this is why. Because basic human rights are not something we can take for granted and there's always groups out to turn back the clock.
You’re totally right and this is what frustrates me about big corporations marketing their ass off during pride. There’s no thought or regard for the many LGBT+ folks who have actually suffered and or died simply for their existence. There should be a freaking memorial every time they run an ad.
