After living in Philly for 5 years, this year I went to my first Mummers Parade. Ngl it was kinda strange but a lot of the costumes and dancing were fun.
I was surprised to see so many “blue lives matter” and “let’s go Brandon” flags and other generally conservative or insensitive symbols. Didn’t see any black face, but did see an older man cross dressing in a way that seemed to be a mockery of the lqbtq+ community rather than something positive or legitimate.
Is it always like this and do others feel the same? Kinda left me with a mixed opinion of the parade
