Seattle gay pride event, sanctioned by city, charges ‘reparations fee’ to ‘white allies, their accomplices’

[GURPS]

A gay pride event in Seattle is charging white people a “reparations fee” if they want to attend this year while BIPOC (black, indigenous, and other people of color) attendees are welcome free of charge.

The group organizing the June 26 event apparently has the support of Seattle City Council president and mayoral candidate Lorena Gonzalez and the Seattle Human Rights Commission, which responded after Capitol Hill Pride filed a complaint with the commission over the exclusionary and penalizing policy based on race.

That complaint was denied by the SHRC which asserted last week that the event, to be held in Jimi Hendrix Park, did not violate “human rights.”

A Seattle Gay Pride event is charging white attendees reparations fees but not charging those of color. Many are questioning if it is legal.

I might attend, but only if Jimi Hendrix is playing.

This is an old thing. It was done for years on ladies night at many bars. Men paid women got in free, The women drew the men in
Now the white f*ags will pay so they can pick up a black ,BIPOC ,indigenous, butt bandit or peter puffer.

Like I said old stuff with a new twist. Happy dirt dobbing for the freaks.

I guess if you're a mixed breed you get in for 1/2 price? Do they do a DNA test to determine what mix in case you're only 1/4 BIPOC?
