Davie Street Block Party :(

I'm a trans woman lesbian middle-aged, I went to the block party, hoping to have, maybe make friends, oh I even volunteered to set it up but was misgendered by a couple of volunteers & one of the people wearing the Pride Fest purple teeshirt. Anyway, A lot a hetrosexual couples (young & good-looking douchie) who have no connection to the LGBTQ2+ community just looking around to pick up good-looking women or couples for "good times" a lot gay men looking for other gay men, there were no women there by themselves (maybe a couple of seniors) I think it's the whole West End culture too as well. Anyway my confession/rant.

OMG it was free this year?

Give the poor volunteers a break. Everybody's level of awareness is different but if they stepped up to volunteer, it must mean they care (or they're opportunists collecting "social responsibility" points towards a management position at one of the parade's corporate sponsors). Did you call them out on it? I imagine they would apologize. Your journey is not going to be all sunshine and rainbows (OK, just the rainbows!), but just keep trying, because we're all trying. I'm a lone female and I'm sorry I wasn't there myself. Previous editions of the Block Party charged admission - something like $20! - so it never occurred to me to attend this year.
