Black Lives Matter Protesters Disrupt Toronto Police LGBTQ Mural Unveiling
KFOR ^ | JUNE 25, 2016 | NIKKI FERLAINO

During a press conference Friday, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders unveiled a mural honoring the local LGBTQ community.

The mural was to meant to celebrate the LGBTQ community and act as an apology for raids that took place in 1981 where 286 men were arrested in four Toronto bathhouses.

During the press conference, Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters arrived, chanting and carrying signs that read “No pride in policing”.

Toronto’s local BLM co-founder Rodney Diverlus, 26, said the cop’s gesture was nothing more than a publicity stunt “used to mask the reality of police relations among the queer and trans community, black people, indigenous people, sex workers et cetera”.

Const. David Hopkinson, a police spokesperson, said the chief’s apology for the raids and the new mural aren’t empty gestures, “I believe the chief was heartfelt in his apology for the bathhouse raids. He was sincere in his words.”

They simply cannot be privately happy with their boyfriends or girlfriends and be done with it.
Good grief, they are so melodramatic about things. People wouldn't care, it's just their relentless promotion that is tiresome.

How about a mural of a colostomy bag. When is this garbage going to correct. We’ve taken the constraints off sexual behavior and the world has gone insane.

I guess it's not just US cities that BLM harrasses.

BTW, you can't get into Canada if you are a felon.

How did they get around that?

I guarantee that a large percentage of BLM members are felons.

And why does BLM care about LGBTQ issues anyway?

Aren't they all on the same leftist team?

The BLM guys involved did not have to worry about how to get into Canada...this was a Toronto branch of BLM. The police chief also happens to be a black man. SOROS won’t rest until he has BLM chapters set up throughout the English speaking world! ;)

I don’t understand this gay pride crap. Are they saying they’re proud to suck d....s?
I enjoy what I do but I have no desire to march in a parade showing I’m proud of it.

As an aside, what countries would allow/don’t prohibit felons to enter in the first place? I can’t imagine that would be many, even if you count Third World countries.

Odd, as pornography was legalized in the courts, I don’t recall apologies to the photographers, filmmakers, and “actors/models” of old.

How very queer.
