Vancouver Pride Parade returns after two-year hiatus

Tens of thousands of people are expected to descend on Vancouver’s West End for the parade, which starts at noon.

The parade begins on Robson Street and will end at Sunset Beach, with performances from musicians and drag queens and kings along the way.Vancouver Pride Society chair Michelle Fortin said there is an increased focus on diversity this year.“We’ve partnered with some new partners, like Granville Island, and we also have a number of stages that have been taken over by BIPOC folks,” Fortin said.

Attendees are being asked to make sure they prepare for the heat as well as take into account road closures for the commute.Squamish Nation celebrates Pride after pandemic hiatus

Nothing brings out the hate and bigots like a post about a Pride parade. Eat my shorts losers.

Should take a lifetime hiatus.

Shouldn’t that be outlawed since it causes anxiety and stress to the residents of the city?

Hope everybody has a fun time and remembers to stay safe. Just do everyone a favour and try to keep your clothes on in front of the children this time, and let’s not advertise or normalize grooming events as fun time for little kids.

Keep the kids away from this kind of “pride”

A potential 'monkeypox super spreader event'?

A man in a dress is not a woman. First, business out there is seeing in real time how lip service to an apology fails in spectacular fashion. Second, it's a clear reminder to business that taking political/social positions on behalf of your brand is extremely risky when general consensus is not on your side. The ongoing issue is the refusal of the company to acknowledge that the person fired was the son of the owners and the person speaking is the daughter of the owners...and the owners are the parents. His attitude was not a surprised and was at the very least condoned and supported
