Construction begins on Canada's new LGBTQ2+ National Monument.

The large monument will be located on the northeast side of Wellington Street by the Portage Bridge, next to the Ottawa River and close to the capital city’s Judicial Precinct.

The design of the monument, named “Thunderhead,” was chosen in 2022 following a design competition that chose a concept by a Winnipeg-based team, comprised of architectural design firm Public City, visual artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, and Albert McLeod, who is an Indigenous and Two-Spirited People subject-matter expert and advisor.

According to the federal government’s description, the design draws on the symbolism of a thunderhead cloud, which “embodies the strength, activism, and hope of LGBTQ2+ communities.”

“It will be a lasting testimony to the courage and humanity of those who were harmed by the LGBT Purge, homophobic and transphobic laws and norms, and Canada’s colonial history.”

Will it look like a giant replica of the AIDS Virus (or am I upsetting the Zeepers by saying such...if so, sorry).

Disgusting reason for a monument but good for snickers and guffaws at the absurdity of the design.

There is a sadness at the core of these practices which no amount of marching, monuments, or flags will dissipate.

Jonathan Cahn’s book THE RETURN OF THE GODS is a must read.

This a statue dedicated to Baal. It is a mockery of the Holy Father.

Toleration of depravity almost always leads to celebration of moral depravity, and a sick society.

Why the bleep do they need a bleeping monument? They already get hyper-special privileges just because they are actively working to destroy the family.

Plus they get a whole month to shove their anus-wipe flags in our faces.

Imagine what I would say minus the euphemisms!
