June is Pride Month, a moment to celebrate the queer community and advocate for LGBTQ rights. But the politics of Pride are always thorny: who should participate, how, and what that means for the moment. This year, debates have centered around how much kink should be allowed at pride and, in places like New York, whether the police should be welcome. And there’s a perpetual question of the corporatization of Pride — when Target and MasterCard are sponsoring parade floats, how radical is it? Alex Abad-Santos, a senior correspondent at Vox, lays out the conversation.
