Cut Gay Pride Funding?

[Hassel99]

So my tax dollars were going to a "gay pride" parade but I have to rely on private donations to help build a hospital.

You pay taxes in Toronto?

I wonder how it would go over if the gays were asked not to dress in drag to make the rules all-inclusive.

Maybe issue everyone a simple t-shirt and rainbow coloured tutu. They are available online.

C'mon Terris, surely you can expand on that.....any interesting religious views on the topic, by any chance?
Fire and brimstone?

Good luck getting that funding cut under the current administration.

Whatever it costs for another selfie opp...

Trudeau has a GAY brother so no he will continue with funding. Sadly, I just have trouble with the parade thing. So you were born gay, I was born heterosexual no one had the choice. BUT why is it so important to make sure everyone knows your preference? To me it really doesn't matter, the more you wave the flag the more the majority puts up a blocker. Just live your life the way you are and be who you are.

We will all get along you should not be expecting special rights and freedoms.

Cut Funding? Give them a Bill for traffic control, clean up, security,

[Jlabute]

Cut their funding? Sure :-) Heck, have them pay a parade tax too.

Sorry...this comment is off topic.

Every time I see this photo it brings back the reports of the Trudeaus suffering from 'bad' water in their new digs in Ottawa.

Apparently it was so bad they had to bring in bottled water.

Could it just maybe have been Dasani water?

And for such a tree hugging environmental save the planted PM...why is he drinking 'purchased' bottled water?

You'd think, seeing as how he is such an environmentalist, he'd bring a thermos from home of special water already

provided for him and his family and their staff.

Back to Topic: I can't see JT allowing HIS parade seeing any funding cuts.

A few phone calls and he will make sure that doesn't happen.

It's just another opportunity for him to grandstand and drag the wife and kids along.

I could solve this. If black lives matter and the cops are having problems, ban them both.

Reason 10,001 why it should be cut:

Hypocrisy.

Gay parades, Shriner's parades, Saint Paddies Day parades, etc., are all good fun until radicals and politics rear their ugly heads. In this case the organizers of the parade have allowed politics to take over their event, and by doing so have turned it into a protest march, instead of a parade. Taxpayers should not be supporting political events.

The Shriner's parades are way more fun anyway, and you can take your kid's to them without fear of them seeing a float full of grown men making obscene sexual gestures.

Although I have been a supporter of gay and lesbian rights for many years, and have had many gay friends, I'm sure that I will still be labeled a homophobic or a bigot by the radicals out there. My gay friends never wanted anything but equality.
