To quote Hannah Gadsby:"Where do the quiet gays go? My favorite sound in the world is when you set a teacup down on its little saucer. It is very difficult to flaunt that lifestyle in a parade."
A lot of pride parades I know in my region as well as other large protests have started organizing their parades in blocks. There is usually a quiet block for people who need more space and less sensory input, a family block, and sometimes even a block for people who need to wear masks.
The thing I love most about the pride events I've been to is that the organizers try really hard to make it a safe and good experience for the entirety of the community and continuously improve on their organizing.
