I was volunteering with the local LGBTQ+ org at a local music festival in June for the second time, and the hypocrisy going on behind the scenes is just midblowing. Like they've been branding themselves as "People's Party" (or more like Humans' Party) for some years now, but based on what I've seen and heard these two years it's more like "Rich Peoples' - who can pay for their goods and services - Party" because most people who work there to run the festival are unpaid, but instead volunteer to work for a three day pass, most of these being underage kids. Last year a friend of mine was in cocharge of those underage volunteers, and mentioned some huge oversights by the festival org on the safety and well-being of those kids.
I've also enjoyed seeing my face on their social media (usually belatedly because i myself don't fuck with meta), because our rainbow org has held a pride march at the fest these past years I've been there also, and me with my brightly coloured hair holding a sign up defiantly with my head held high and proud is a bunch of great pr that they ain't gotta pay shit for me, or anyone else who's a part of this fucking propaganda machine. The festival org, who asked our rainbow folks to come in again "for exposure" i guess, deemed it befitting that each one of us was given one (1) food ticket to the fest cantina for the entirety of the three (3) day festival. Other food we had to supply or pay for ourselves. Or starve ig. This isn't an issue only because of the absolute hypocrisy but also because everything you can buy on the festival area has to pay the festival for the privilige, and is thus expensive as shit.
Ugh, I feel tainted by this shit.
