"Anyone can appreciate these 2 groups supporting each other."

- But that's not what happened. BLM Bullied Pride by blocking the parade and blackmailed them into signing off on their demands. It was coercion, pure and simple. They infliltrated the organisation and took over the AGM. Those who disagreed were forced out and it is now BLM calling the shots rather than Pride.

BLM managed to achieve by stealth and insurrection what they could never have achieved on their own. They  have access to over quarter of a million dollars in public funds and can run the parade any way they like.

Funding should be pulled from the parade until this new organisation can demonstrate that they still meet the goals of inclusiveness and tolerance that persuaded councillors to donate public finds in the first place.
