Political parties were banned from participating in the parade in 2019 after a blind jury found only the Alberta NDP would pass their requirements to take part.
The identity of the each respondent was redacted before their answers were handed to an 11 member jury, representing different intersections of the community, for approval.In a statement, Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley said their application was approved, adding the party is proud to be considered an ally.
"As disappointing as it is to see so many Albertans excluded from this event for political reasons, Alberta's United Conservative Caucus will continue to ensure that Alberta is the best place in the world to live, work and start a family, regardless of who a person loves or how they express their gender identity.". In 2017, Calgary Pride asked the organization to take a workshop before being allowed to participate.
I love the fact that the Pride Parade continues to prosper and I love the message and principles upon which it is founded, but this doesn't seem inclusive at all.
So they stand for exclusively and division?
I’m sure the UCP members will be devastated.
The people who claim ther are all about inclusion are actually the least inclusive!! You can’t have it both ways
