Black Lives Matter Toronto briefly halts Gaye Pride parade
cbc. ^ | Jul 03, 2016

Members of the Black Lives Matter Toronto group briefly halted the Pride parade today, holding up the marching for about 30 minutes.

Members of Black Lives Matter Toronto, who were part of the parade as honoured guests, held up the marching for about 30 minutes.

The parade didn't re-start until after Pride Toronto executive director Mathieu Chantelois signed a document agreeing to the group's demands.

The organization was given the status of Honoured Group for the parade, which is the grand finale of Pride Month. It did not give Pride Toronto advance notice of their planned sit-in.

Alexandra Williams, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto, told CBC's Natasha Fatah that they held the sit-in because they wanted to hold Pride Toronto accountable for what she called "anti-blackness."

Williams defended the group's actions.

"It's always the appropriate time to make sure folks know about the marginalization of black people, of black queer youth, black trans youth, of black trans people," she said.

"It's always the appropriate time to make sure folks know about the marginalization of black people, of black queer youth, black trans youth, of black trans people,"

That makes NO sense at all.

I thought pride parades celebrated EVERY kind of sexual bents.

I was unaware that they were "anti-black" ANYTHING.

Which I guess makes me question just WHAT would a pride parade consider "unacceptable"?

LOL!

I enjoyed the title of the post, too.

Ironic that Marvin Gaye changed his name from Gay to "Gaye" because he didn't want the (negative at the time) association.
