The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.Soon that and other Pride Month posts were taken down, and a week later, the organization posted that the person in charge of social media had resigned and said its officials were “deeply sorry that these posts unintentionally offended and hurt the LGBTQ+ black, brown and trans community.” Just hours later, Philly Pride Presents’ entire Facebook page was gone, and so were large portions of its website, according to the Inquirer.
By Monday the group’s phone line was disconnected, and an Inquirer reporter learned that the organization had dissolved and its Pride festival, scheduled for September instead of June due to pandemic-related restrictions, had been canceled.
