AA LGBT people protesting& stopping pride parades B/C of LGBT cops

This has been happening @ Pride Marches in many places. The first time I recall seeing it was last year in Toronto. Stonewall Columbus' pride was stopped by a small group of AA Trans activists that have very legit problems with Columbus Police & the black community. And the activists apparently do not feel included by Stone wall and the pride committee
Organizers.
I can see both sides of the issue and problems.

As legitimate.

According to them there is never a good time to raise issues of racism in our community

Usually disclaimer: obviously not all cis white gay males
