EMO, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — A small town in Ontario has refused to bend to the demands of LGBT activists and will now have to appear in front of a Human Rights Tribunal for rejecting a 2020 motion to proclaim June as “Pride” month and fly the LGBT “Pride” flag.
This week, Emo, a small township in Ontario, is attending a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario proceeding after an LGBT group filed a complaint over a 2020 town council decision not to celebrate June as “Pride” month, according to local news outlet Northwest Ontario News.
“There’s no flags being flown for the straight people,” Mayor Harold McQuake had told the Emo council in 2020.
At the 2020 meeting, the town council had voted 3-2 against proclaiming June as “Pride” month and flying LGBT flags from municipal buildings.
The motion was requested by Borderland Pride, a local LGBT activist group.
Shortly after the motion was voted down, the group filed a human rights complaint, demanding the town apologize for their decision, proclaim June as “Pride” month, and fly the LGBT flag for one week.
In April 2024, Borderland Pride offered to drop the case if the town agreed to the previous demands.
“This is a good deal. You should take it,” Borderland Pride’s letter to Emo stated. “The alternative is to continue to waste taxpayer money fighting a losing battle in defence of bigotry and hate.”
However, the township chose to reject the proposal, instead going ahead with the hearing.
In addition to trying to force the town to celebrate “Pride” month, Borderland Pride is seeking monetary compensation in the order of $15,000 from the municipality, and $10,000 each from the mayor and two councillors who voted against the proclamation.
LifeSiteNews reached out to McQuake for comment but did not hear back by time of publication.
The town of Emo is not the only Canadian town to resist LGBT indoctrination. In February, residents of Westlock, Alberta, a small town of about 4,800 people, voted in favor of a bylaw to prohibit flying non-governmental flags from municipal flagpoles and painting crosswalks with any pattern other than the usual white-striped pattern.

The West is ruled by perverted homosexual deviants. It is the only way to explain the last 20 years.
Tolerance means you will affirm and embrace or else.
It usually takes about a generation for a society to collapse after the tranny stuff kicks in. It’s been repeated over and over throughout history.

It’s sad that it has had to come to this point.
We mean “Shame Month” don’t we?
When God abandons a nation to depraved minds and it’s well and truly advanced expect more of this madness.
For such a “marginalized” group, perverts do a pretty good job of “marginalizing” anybody who doesn’t obey them.
They do not just want acceptance.
They do not just want obedience.
They want loud screaming affirmation.
Yep. You know who used the they/them pronouns in Scripture?
Demons. Said they were legion.
Why God commanded Israel to kill them.
I think it should be mental illness awareness month.
Fagscism.
They have the DOJ, FBI, CIA, White House, DEMs, RINOs, Soros, Gates, most tech companies, and nearly all of the courts on their side. We’ve lost because we refuses to fight back.
Good for Emo, it’s about 100 miles west and a little south from Toronto, or 70 miles northeast of London, Ontario.
“You have to accept us and celebrate us.”
Does this work for any other group in society?
Let’s try it ...
poker players
sex trade workers
left-handed golfers
people who don’t signal turns
idiots
Doesn’t seem to work for any specialized group but LBGT.
Instead of this “celebrate pride” attitude, I would counter with this, sexuality is a private concern and should remain so, I don’t expect anyone to react in any particular way to my sexuality, nor do I wish to burden the community with affirmations of it, and this should be the general rule. I don’t see any justification for “gay pride” or any other form of sexuality or gender pride, and frankly I don’t care if two people engage in gay sex (or change their gender), that’s between them and God and good luck to them.
If they say, no it’s not between us and God, or worse, that God celebrates them too, I believe they will be in for a nasty surprise and I don’t predict good things will come of it. But we’ve gone over this and they have chosen to ignore good advice. It’s their fate now. They should not be trying to pull down those who seek to resist their views. It will be a travesty if Emo is punished for their principled stand.
“Who wont’ wear the wrrribbon?”
Real life imitating a comedy. (Albeit the best comedy ever.)
