Today, Please Share + Join The People's Oakland Pride 5k/10k Fun Run, Walk + Roll - Sept 9th, 2017 - FREE! All ages - Costumes are ENCOURAGED! Dress up as your favorite LGBTQ role model or SuperQueero! Tell The Queer Gym: Honor The Annual Oakland LGBTQ Community Run By Moving Your New Run To Another Date! Yup. The Queer Gym (previously The Perfect Sidekick) is STILL trying to gentrify the annual run that a group of black Queer and Trans folks started 2 years prior to theirs - a run that they participated in and praised... and then tried to recreate on the same annual day, time and space. We have nothing against anyone creating a wellness event for our community. The issue is that they literally want to take over the same space at the same time on the same annual day with the exact same type of event and for the same community. There are literally hundreds of days that they could've chosen it is deeply problematic that they chose a day and place when and where that our free run for the entire rainbow and ally community is and has been already happening.
