There are always complaints about how commercialized LGBTQ+ Pride festivals have gotten over the decades.
But these festivals are all about Being Who You Are, and some people happen to be natural born entrepreneurs.
So I hope you'll forgive me for occasionally wondering whether the Progress Flag (the rainbow flag with black, brown, white, pale blue and pink chevrons added on the hoist side) was created as an expression of greater inclusiveness, or just to sell more flags, bumper stickers, decals, clothing, and jewelry to people who already had the old six-color versions.
Alas, we didn't make it to Milwaukee's Pridefest last week, so this is only a wild guess as to what the hot new festival merchandise is this year.
