I went to my first ever pride yesterday (I'm originally from the countryside and have been too exhausted or depressed every year since moving closer to the city to go babey) and it was super fun :) about 100 000 people were in the pride parade this time, apparently, which is pretty impressive considering that the entire population of oslo is about 700 000. one fuckhead preacher with a loudspeaker making an annoyance of himself where we were standing, but no one really gave a fuck (correctly) so whatever lol. it did give me a valuable real life image to hang the concept of 'vocal minority' on, because that truly was 100 000++ people being cool and having a good glittery gay time and three (3) shitheads trying to ruin it, and the only reason those three were heard at all was that they were clearly pros at evil and came with a wireless mic so people couldn't easily disconnect it and shut them up

#big shoutout to my sister for helping me get it together and actually go this year haha <3 #I did almost miss my bus in the morning because I'd become too wrapped up in a deathloop meta post but well I would be like that #also on a more personal note brought on by seeing a lot of beautiful queer women all in one place...#W.omen. how are they so. you understand. all of them.#pear shaped women everywhere especially you will always have a lover a supporter a respectful but admiring perceiver in me amen #the preacher guy did fall into inadvertent comedy a lot but I don't think he realized it (ni TWERKAR mot mig!! rent free in my head now)#he was also the only one who could remember the fucking script they'd clearly brought fhdskjfa his two little henchmen #did not have the sauce and audibly mixed up words and had to correct themselves and only got to take one turn each #it really made me think about how much of that style of preaching/performance is the sheer grating continuity of it --#the sensory battery of just. words and intensity and shaming rhetoric spewed out continuously.#they all have the same cadence and style of delivery (this guy was swedish to top it all off so the accent on the english run of the script #very funny. also very funny that he thought a norwegian crowd would appreciate a swede telling them what to do #and to return to our 'national values' lmao. our national values have historically included the law of jante (unfortunately)#and wanting dudes like you to fuck off buddy. every time a pride truck came by with speakers to drown him out the crowd cheered)
