Toronto's Pride - Straight Men Against Gay Paedophilia

Toronto's Council has voted to withhold funds from Toronto's Gay pride parade if a hate group called "Queers against Israeli Apartheid" ("QuAIA") is allowed to attend. To its credit, the Pride Parade organisers have withheld inclusion of the reprehensible QuAIA's, although many of the 2010 parade honourees have withdrawn in support of QuAIA's right to proliferate swastikas on Jewish symbols. If one removes anti-Semitism from the equation, then is is incomprehensible that any gay group would support theocracies that actively persecute and murder homosexuals simply for being homosexuals, and especially incomprehensible that they would do so against a democracy with protected gay rights. In response, I have decided to join the parade this year.

I wish to join the Toronto Pride Parade with a float entitled “Straight Men Against Gay Paedophilia”. I am hoping that my float can fill the spot vacated by QuAIA because just as with QuAIAers and those that are supporting the hate group by withdrawing from Pride, my float will only have a tangential relationship to Gay and Lesbian rights.....but it does have “Gay” in its title. My float also has a hateful, offensive and untrue reference which is unfortunately believed by a large number of bigots.

Perhaps those who have chosen to boycott Pride in Toronto can institute a parallel march on the streets of Tehran, Mecca, Damascus or Ramallah with their non-closeted associates from under those regimes. QuAIA’s float will get a very warm welcome in those cities, although much different to the one they would enjoy in Israel. Actually, scrub Tehran, I almost forgot that they cannot have a parade in Tehran because Ahmenijad has informed the world that Iran does not have any homosexuals.
