I'd like to do a little rant for a moment about the FAQ on transpridemcr's website; https://www.transpridemcr.org/about-mcr

Their answer to the question "what's the difference between you and sparkle" is really poorly worded.

I don't speak for either organisation, but I have worked with both; for Trans Pride Mcr as a steward on their march and Sparkle as a key volunteer. We (TPM & Sparkle) even did a protest together at one point, headed up by Sparkle and promoted by TPM. So TPM are aware that Sparkle do engage in protest. But even if they didn't there's been a protest march at the Sparkle Weekend the last couple of years, and its something of a tradition reaching back since before the pandemic.

Also, by discussing pride becoming a "money making scheme" in the answer to this question in particular, there's the implication that Sparkle is also a money making scheme. Nothing could be further from the truth!
