Boston Pride announced it will be shutting down after 50 years amid calls for change from members of the LGBTQ community who accused it of excluding people of color and transgender people.
The advocacy group MassEquality told AP that while the dissolution is a loss for the LGBTQ community, they expect that a new organization will take over to organize the parade.
"It is clear to us that our community needs and wants change without the involvement of Boston Pride. We have heard the concerns of the QTBIPOC community and others. We care too much to stand in the way," the organization said in a statement.

But they probably all have aids and hepatitis
