"Ottawa cuts funding for Gay Pride Parades

Let us hope that this is the beginning of the end for Gay Pride Days’ subsidies. For years taxpayers’ money from three levels of governments, federal, provincial and municipal, have sustained financial levies which were imposed on Canadians against their will.



Promoted by homosexual activists as proof of their national viability as a community, these vulgar and obscene annual propaganda events in a number of cities only proves that this group understands neither culture nor democracy. Since the mid-seventies, the newly founded provincial and national Human Rights Commissions, federal and provincial, themselves staffed by homosexual activists, have bullied cities across Canada into declaring “Gay Pride Week.” Over the years, at least a dozen mayors have been threatened with fines and other penalties when they and their Councils opposed the proposal to declare “Gay Pride Week.”



Toronto’s local paper, the Toronto Star, and its satellites such as the daily Metro, always claimed that the parade was a huge economic boom to the city and that for that reason alone, City Council and the Province should subsidize it. No proof has ever been provided that such has been the case other than completely exaggerated attendance figures. The influx of “tourists” may have benefited “gay bars and porn establishments, but these are not exactly businesses that benefit the economic and cultural growth of society.



Federal Industry Minister Tony Clement deserves credit for having cut down the Toronto pride funding to nothing instead of complying with the request for $600,000. Pride Week is not a desirable tourist event.



As the National Post put it: “feel free to stage a march or parade. But, please, do it on your own dime. As Toronto Pride Parade and several recent Sikh events have demonstrated, public funds should not be used to underwrite controversial gatherings for niche communities.” (“Pay for your own parade,” May 12, 2010).


Action: Throughout Canada citizens should protest local or provincial subsidies to their local politicians.

one more reason religion should be outlawed and every church should be razed.

I found this REALLY funny... Like how close minded can you honestly be that you call out plain facts as lies...

I find it funny how people talk without educating themselves first!

protip: anyone intelligent enough to understand the 'right to religious freedom' is too smart to believe in fairy tails.

People do have the right to chose what they believe in or not.

I just personally have my own disagreements with a lot of them. Mostly because its one thing to believe in something, Its quite another to promote discrimination.

People tend to get so caught up with there religious freedom they don't realize people also have the right to not follow religion. having self faith for many people is a good thing gives them strive and something to believe in I get that.

Issue is when they wright articles like these, protest at abortion clinics yelling at the people who enter. Protesting same sex weddings, etc. They chose to try and force there views onto others and THAT is wrong. imo

Or spell the word "tale" ?

whoops. auto-correct fails me yet again.

haven't read the article yet but I have this to add. A friend of mine works 911 ottawa dispatch, she had some dumb christfundie call 911 to complain about an ambulance being used in the pride parade with a rainbow flag on it. Even her explaining that the ambulance was out of service and did not in any way impact ambulance service at the time. Still went on.

And its crap like this that makes me not want to go to ANY "Christian Rave", Anyone Puts on. It was bad enough watching christians take a slice of pie from the manga community with serenity and spreading their ignorance through that format.

EDIT: Tho Ill be going to LIGHT solely because Joe said the HEAT bunch are a cool bunch...so yeah..That and Tampered DNA is playing. and someone is dragging me there

Yeah... I was gonna comment, but seen your edit. Rachelle and Tyler (Heat) are really cool peeps, they don't push their beliefs on you, and their events are really professionally run with good venues, sound and music... all they are lacking is attendance due to the negative stigma of Christianity, which is a shame, because their parties have all the ingredients to be awesome... so go support them people!!

"some dumb christfuck"

Awesome. Literally the most ignorant thing I've read all day. This brilliantly composed burn totally drives your point home and makes your case. Well done. *slow clap*

Rachelle is an awesome person! she was my art teacher in high school and one of the BEST teachers I ever had! The HEAT crew is to be respected as well. They may have church values but they are good accepting people. There are some amazing people out there who have faith in a higher power and would never impose it onto others.

I have issues with the church... try being open and gay in a catholic school full of hicks... but I know there is a difference between good and bad people, Faith has nothing to do with it... its just what the bad ones choose to hide behind.

i think most homophobes are in fact gay themselves and are too afraid to admit it.

Really well said Sonic!
