I think it's great.
It's nice that you can bring your kids to Pride, but at the same time it's become a bit of a catch-all celebration that's a bit meaningless.
This was political, as it should be, and a lot of their "demands" had to do with greater inclusion for visible minorities in queer events (the community, admittedly, does tend to white wash a lot of things). The organisers knew what they were doing by inviting BLM and from the article it sounds like they were perfectly happy it went the way it did.
No trolling here. I agree with Psychnet. It's meant to be political and represent marginalised LGBT groups. The inclusion of a police float is nice but pretty irrelevant for the parade.
