So, I've seen this comic all over my feed
People are saying stuff like "Yay! Look at Damian support the community" and "Damian says support gay rights!".
That is not what this panel shows.
This panel is Damian showing off his weapons that he intends to use to break up pride (which he assumes is a riot like Stonewall) and Kon saying "Pride isn't a protest, it's a party!"
Is this fiction? Yes but the views expressed by our heros reflects the views of the author and society at large.
The views shown in this are: Disruptive demonstration and protest is bad. The LGBTQ+ community doesn't need to fight for rights.
In an era where trans rights are being trampled on and gay marriage is still being threatened, this complacency is dangerous.
In the last few years, there has been legislation that makes parent with trans kids child abusers (Texas) and legislation where even speaking about being gay/helping gay youth isn't allowed(Don't Say Gay Bill). With the overturning of Roe v Wade, other rights, like the right to gay marriage are threatens (as both a protected under Privacy Laws and one being overturned can hurt them all). This isn't even to mention social repercussions and stigma around being part of the community. Trans people (especially black trans people) are still being killed at high rates. Gay people are still hate-crimed and protested against. Hell, I live in the Midwest and I'm still closeted to my family and community because of bigotry.
Being part of the community is still dangerous. Pride may be a celebration of our queerness but it also remains a protest, a way for us to say "We're here and we're queer and your bigotry ain't getting rid of us!"
The opinions of our heroes shows us the attitude of our society and, while our society seems to think our fight should be over, we know that we still have a long way to go.

"Agent Carter" the second season of 2015 is a continuation of the story of Peggy Carter in Los Angeles, where she investigates murders. The season has an exciting plot, but may seem a little eccentric for some viewers. It's a sequel with a great cast and exciting moments like Peggy's fight with Whitney Frost, but with some flaws.
My rating: 7/10
