VANCOUVER, B.C., August 12, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – When homosexual news service Daily Xtra reported last week that both Vancouver police and city officials “confirmed they had no issues with public nudity” at the city’s annual gay Pride Parade, LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) deemed necessary a fact check with the guardians of law and order.
Canada’s Criminal Code makes it illegal to be nude in a “public place.” Section 174 states that a person who is “so clad as to offend against public decency or order” is “guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.”
While reports about this year’s August 4 gay parade mention only “scantily-clad revellers” and “skimpy attire,” last year’s parade was attended by a group of men called Foreskin who exposed their genitals in the city streets (WARNING: link includes graphic full-frontal male nudity). At last year's parade a group of men called Foreskin exposed their genitals in the city streets.
LifeSiteNews asked the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) by email if it would uphold Section 174 of the Code if it witnessed explicit nudity at a public event such as the Pride Parade.
The VDP replied: “unfortunately your question cannot be answered with the simple yes or no answer that you appear to be looking for.”
“There are many ways to resolve or handle individuals and situations that are illegal. That may or may not include arrest,” wrote Constable Brian Montague, media relations officer.
LSN pressed the question, asking how the VPD handles the illegal situation of nude persons at public events such as the 2012 Pride Parade. The VPD did not reply.
LSN then approached Mayor Gregor Robertson, asking him if Daily Xtra’s statement was accurate.
The mayor’s office responded that the mayor had attended the Pride Parade and had hailed the event as a “remarkable celebration of equality, diversity, and the contributions of Vancouver’s LGBTTQ community.”
Touching on the question of upholding Canadian law against nudity, the mayor’s office said: “The Mayor did not receive or hear of any complaints regarding public nudity on the day of the parade, and the Mayor’s office has received no such complaints in the days since.”
Pro-homosexual Vancouver Sun columnist Shelley Fralic slammed last year’s parade as an “X-rated public peep show” run by officials according to a “double standard”.

“When, exactly, did nudity become the new normal? And why is it okay for all of the above to take place in public, where such behaviour more commonly lands one in front of a judge?”
“How is it that a man can expose himself in a public park and, quite rightly, get his a** hauled off to jail but a coterie of rainbow-bright lads and lassies with dangling participles bumping and grinding on Denman Street is considered family fun?”
“Keep your pants on, people,” she said. “Yes, all you people prancing about in public with perplexing impunity from legal or etiquette censure, gyrating on floats in your manties with your dangling bits flopping about, or spreading your fleshy naked derrières on bicycle seats, or threatening to crowd the courthouse steps with your foreskins flopping about as if desperately seeking a safe haven.”
At the time, Fralic questioned the “double standard” employed by officials when it comes to the Pride Parade.
“If one can't saunter nude through the Metrotown food court - and good Lord, please don't - without security taking exception, why are naked parade participants now routinely given civic licence to conduct X-rated public peep shows?”
She called it “especially odd” that a “rights movement as serious as the LGBT one” would choose “sexually explicit caricature as a business card for what is arguably their most high-profile public relations blitz.”

Gays have boundary issues. That is they just can’t keep sexual practices in private. They take pleasure in shocking public displays of lewdness and flaunting it without reserve. Its part of their illness and anyone who ‘celebrates’ with these Gay pride events is guilty of it too. Pride goes before a fall and gay pride won’t stand the test of time. Shame on those who promote and/or side with it.
Sorry Gerry, I am very tired from a long day and can’t form a sentence properly.
Were you trying to imply they were anti-semitic because they aren’t circumcised?
lol
We must all remember this crap whenever they say, “Hey, man, we don’t LIKE the law, but we’re sworn to enforce it!” ...blah, blah, blah. They do this ALL THE TIME with gun laws, drug laws, environmental BS, imminent domain, and a whole slough of minor infractions. They selectively ENFORCE laws for the law abiding citizens to extract taxes and raise funds. But ask them to stop criminals, illegal aliens, protected classes breaking the written law, and noooooooooo!
YOU DON’T NEED TO ENFORCE UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW! YOU CAN THINK FOR YOURSELF, JACKBALL!!
Nearly blew Scotch out my nose.
They are anti semitic because they are against it!!!
Bunch of perverts want to get in our face.
Not an ounce of class or decency among those idiots.
What’s sad is that our government is more accepting of their behavior than my comments.
It would be great if decent people gathered at the parade all holding mirrors and as a group collectively reflect the sun on to certain exposed appendages. wouldnt take long for them to cover up.
Indeed, and it is behaviour that is a CHOICE. God forbid someone actually discovers it is a genetic disorder— they certainly don’t want that because then they would be quantified in a disease database. On the mental DSM front, long ago the homo psychiatrists made the world safe for themselves as declared “normal in the spectrum” so they could “choose” to be homo. Well documented this happened in a political move within the professional societies.
militant nude pervert faggots get special treatment and laws police would brutally enforce on everyone else they are waived for faggots.
The mean part of me thinks what fun is would be to have a super accurate pellet gun at such a deviant event..........Pepper spray could be fun as well, but you’d need to get too close to the diseased faggots.
Some animals are more equal than others.
I want to see STRAIGHT PRIDE parades all over the country. But I doubt we could get a permit.
As for nudity, I don’t want to see a gay man’s privates, or a gay woman’s privates or a straight man’s privates. I don’t even want to see a straight woman’s privates in public.
No. Declare “Bring Your Nasty Pitbull Day” and bring your nasty-tempered pitbulls to the parade with you. All those tempting dangling appendages and other unprotected flesh could provide a veritable buffet for your pitties. Don’t have a pit bull? How about wafting some itch powder toward all that exposed target?
And the world is excoriating Putin for standing up against this abomination on society - and standing up for Christianity...while OUR POTUS-INO, says he has ‘no patience’ with Putin and his stance - that it's immoral!
Bizarro world.
Putin is also the only one concerned about the increasing discrimination/dislocation and murder of Christians. (Wonder if ‘bumbles thinks that's immoral too?
It may be time to learn Russian...

I remember the time when the radio proudly declared that the APA reversed its belief that homosexuality was a disorder.
