"It's very troublesome to see how backwards it's going," said Scotia Kauppi, the new executive secretary and treasurer of Thunder Pride.
Thunder Pride executive secretary Scotia Kauppi says she hopes people will give the new board of the organization a chance to prove itself. Thunder Pride worked with Veltri's new organization, Rainbow Collective, on some of this year's Pride events.'This is why we still need Pride,' says non-binary Winnipegger after rainbow flag torn from West End home
"Pride started as a protest against police brutality," they said. "So if police really wanted to show their allyship to the queer community, we shouldn't have to be paying them to, you know, monitor the streets to ensure our safety." "I'm finding that the main group … still has lots of fight in us. And I think activism is going to become a bigger role for us now."
Celebrating liberal protests and smearing conservative ones. Defund CBC.
Nobody is discriminating against LGBT, what are they protesting?
Tired of seeing these disgusting, disgraceful & gross exhibitionists parade in the streets. I/We don’t care what you do in your private lives or your choice but we certainly don’t need to be subjected to them in public. They look like a bunch of sexual deviants. saveourkids
Oh, Oh. EMERGENCY MEASURES ACTIVATION REQUIRED . marcomendicino last chance to go out a hero & quell these evil protesters. Jack boots, leather sam browns, billy sticks won't work. (they like that). Try horses, worked before!
Hope no funding has been received then fordnation JustinTrudeau
And soon BLM will take it over and LGBT people will be blamed for trashing cities… anybody see a pattern here ?
I see absolutely no reason at all for a pride parade. Be what you want, no one cares, but forget the advertisements.
Wtf are they protesting? They are already being shoved down our throats at every commercial, advertisement and event. I don’t get what these peoples end goals are.
Now it’s turned into a parade of pedophiles ..
That’s right. It was a protest and it is now no longer required. So pack it up and move on
As a straight man if I walk down the street with no shirt on, with my junk hanging out and shaking it in front of children, I would be arrested. But its somehow okay to do that if your lgbtq. Why isn't the same standard held for all people.
At a certain point they have to realize when you (lgbtq) are a protected class, where even speaking words against you (misgender) will result in jail time, you are not protesters. You have nothing left to protest against.
I thought protests were illegal in Canada
Lol🙄
Monkeypox super spreader event
Do what you like, I could care less about pride…

No one is arguing that you shouldn’t do certain things with your genitalia. We just don’t appreciate you confirming it with holding hands and kissing. LGBTQ Pride cdnpoli
Shouldn't we celebrate that it has evolved into a celebration / party rather than going backwards?
I in no way support pride because of that reason. I have no issues with the LGBTQ etc community, have fun be proud but leave your commie BS at home if you want people to support you.
It's a mental disease. Nothing more
Nazis
Screw pride
If you are so proud of being LGBTQIA’s why are you covering up your fucking face…. Asking for a friend
You are truly privileged to believe that everyone has to accept you when you can't even accept yourself. Maybe promote mental health and encourage them to love themselves instead of trying to please everyone else.
Well if its a 'protest' the city doesn’t have to provide security, funding, or a guaranteed route. Enjoy your protest.
It was created to commemorate a riot. But tell me more about Jan 6.
Gay
Protesting what in most cases the alphabit gang gets special treatment wheres my pride month ?
People protest because they do not have access to justice. LGBT ppl face discrimination just look at this thread ffs
Why?
I agree, the indecency of parades need police involvement, I've personally seen kids being exposed to genitalia. So, what are they protesting for?
Good for them 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
This grooming movement is getting out of hand. Make public indecency punishable by law again. Save the children. everychildmatters
call me silly but sticking your sick in another mans' asshole does not merit a special flag or month long celebration!
Are you going to be naked?
You'd think there would be one group of humans out there that wouldn't let power corrupt them. Hasn't happened yet in human history.
Mental ill
Pride is not the goal.
Protesting what?
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Mat 24:33 Know that it is near, even at the doors Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock…
Protest what? That gay people like me are already protected and accepted? People invent problems. Wokeness is a cancer.
Guys, it’s cool beans that your gay, but nobody cares…the only people who get bullied or messed with because of that fact are the ones who make it their entire personality. You can get married, you can adopt kids, you can vote. Your equal. Just chill out lol
Why can’t pride have it’s “protest” down by lakeshore instead of smack downtown Caribbean does it so why can’t Pride ? Enough with the street closures .
The movement that started with a desire to just be tolerated and left alone now demands your fealty. You foolishly tolerated evil, thinking it would in turn tolerate you.
The comments here are exactly why we need to protest. Because of people like you all.
Protest to do or of what?
Within the gay community, it's a small group of terminally insecure, attention seeking clowns.
Pride is a psyop to turn the world upside down
Pride = Hatred
🙄
Poor excuses
You already won the fight. Homosexual marriage, equal rights legislation etc. Focus on the party and be thankful you live in Canada.
Protest what? They want more restrictions on our freedom of speech? More access tu puberty blockers for the kids?
That's it! I don't identity with this movement anymore. I am gay, but not like this. Sorry,CBC... you lost me here
Nobody cares about your pride parade or anything like that have a little party and your little corner in church and Young Street and you'll all be fine and everybody will be happy
Imagine if someone the media deemed to be 'far-right' said 'We're taking matters into our own hands...'
This is why I say i'm gay and not 2SLGBT. I don't feel any connection with it, and I'm not an activist. The things I do feel strongly about aren't even the same things.
This decadent nonsense is a symptom of a dying society. All with the complicity of the CBC.
Pride is corporate obedience.
They are now even going to destroy the long standing peaceful Pride Parade turning it into nothing more than an Agitating, Provoking nuisance. In the end they will destroy every progress they made over decades. There is no end to WOKEism Activism.
People can’t just be themselves privately, everything must be a protest. The only parade that ought to be on our streets in Canada is the Remembrance Day parade. Honouring those who gave you freedom to be yourselves.
“What are they even protesting? What rights have they lost?”
After ending up in A 'tic tok' echo chamber, I too am now 'A trans'. It seems trendy and empowering. (It was better than the 'Tourette' tic tok echo chamber I was in. I think some of those people were just trying to get attention.)
And another 'movement' gone bad. 10 years ago I would have brought my kids to one of these truly genuine happy places to be...now, not a chance. Toxic.
