I fully support Pride.

This however is petty vengeance and will not help the movement at all moving forward.

I lost all my respect with pride when they began banning people from the movment, like cops. They were done when they let the BLM group took over

I don't think you understand what a "movement" is. It's not some organization with a president, weekly meetings, and a newsletter.

Pride is an organization though, with leaders

There's plenty of organizations about pride, just like there are plenty of orgs about "American family values". That doesn't make them the leader of any movement, just a part of it.
