Various organizations that run Gay Pride parades are deciding that uniformed thugs are not welcome.

One strategy is to remember the historic hostility and cruelty of thugs towards gays. Another strategy is to try to replace that with a friendly relationship so as to avoid that hostility in the future. I, as an outsider, don't have an opinion about which to choose, but I can see the sense in each one.

The businesses that own fossil fuel facilities would lose stock value, and the owners of the stock would lose the wealth of owning that stock.

If we stop the development of fossil fuel infrastructure and extraction facilities, the undeveloped reserves will lose their value. But that is likely to happen gradually as measures are taken and made firm.

Investors and pension funds can avoid being hit by this by divesting from fossil fuels.
