First time marching this year, with my company’s LGBTQ & Allies group. So much fun. Definitely hot, but it’s August in Texas, so no getting around that. Snapped this photo of the Capitol with the rainbow flag fan that I carried and which single-handedly saved me from heatstroke. Happy Pride y’all

Idk I just live here and reporting what I know , take it up with city council

u/mysterious_whisperer Aug 23 '26
Does the city council actually decide this? I assumed it was some other organization that organized pride. If it’s city council I’ll just be happy they make it happen at all

Lame that they painted over the rainbow intersection. Spent extra money and it looks worse

Apparently the crowd agrees with “the heat ain’t worth it”. Surely Those parader’s have gotta be concerned for heat stress issues Aren’t we supposed to set record high tomorrow?

Austin City Council: No poltical or awareness motivated parades
Cannabis Activists: can we have a march or even have actual US Vets be a part of a parade?
ACC: NO!
LGBTQ+: How about us? ✨🌈
ACC: SURE! You can throw an entire parade of your own just fine!

I already did. I'm not pissed at the pride parade. I'm pissed at the shit city council we have. Especially Paige Ellis, my councilmember that is going to be the first to likely make term limits worthless.

Austin pride used to be pretty big but people got sick of the cops being there and the weird pro Israel shit and started hosting cooler DIY events

That would be the PRIDE parade, which happens in August instead of June here in Austin.
