Pride London: #Fatuoushashtag

Protest relies on spectacle: the titillation of Seventies bra-burners, the Guy Fawkes masks worn by the Occupy movement, the naked breasts of Femen activists. But where once the street was the stage, now the platform is online: Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are the new streets, and hearts, retweets and likes the new roars of approval.

The spectacle has also adapted to the visual, online medium: holding up a board is the new way to big up the cause...

Evening Standard.

So it's come to this... nothingness.

Welcome to the society of the gay spectacle.

Gay pride!
