Construction begins on Canada's new LGBTQ2+ National Monument

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.”

Got to envy the future generation that will get to see this kind of garbage toppled all over the world.

Exactly what I thought.....will it look like a few of those pics in the kids’ books these days? Giant rubber attachments? So gross. Imagine celebrating deviancy.

The display lighting did not work because they couldn’t figure out a male and female plug connection.

His father - his real one - would probably have beaten the crap out of him. Might’ve fixed him. His dad was a commie tyrant, but he wasn’t a pussy.

Yep- Lot didn’t start out corrupted and morally bankruptcy, but he started the process by “pitching his tent towards soddom, thus toleration their depravity, then he moved closer, and eventually Into the city where he became so depraved that he was willing to give his two daughters to the perverts-

The two daughters were also so blinded morally that they ignored the facts around them and decided to become pregnant by their own father after getting him drunk to unconsciousness (another indication that they knew that what they were doing was immoral), knowing that he likely would have objected in horror to the request if sober.

Tolerance of sin has a nasty way of turning into depravity over time where people will do things that they never would have thouhg t of doing before they began to tolerate sin.

Thankful.y though God will forgive if folks ask for forgiveness. Lot was later cited as being a righteous man, and God accredited him as such- the consequences however were devastating as the children grew up and formed nations that were quite immoral -

Looks like a section of colon, which would be fitting.

an insult to good Canadians and people everywhere
and yes, a desecration
but also
such an idiotic idea (and design) as to at least increase the level of mirth in the world

I don’t even want to THINK of what it might look like!

With a name like "Thunderhead", it's no wonder you don't want to look.

It looks like a big butt hole. There is no monument to motherhood but they got one for anal sex. So very very smething....

Surprising how far and fast Canada has fallen.

Of course, I could say the same about much of the territory in the USA.

The most fitting monument that could be made would feature a lifelike depiction of a drug resistant strain of rectal syphilis.

I guess that’s to counter Canada’s monument to heterosexuality?

I used to walk on the path by this site every day to and from work.

There are a number of memorials etc. right there. The Canadian Navy memorial is next to it.

There is some stupid Indian thing further along.

By all means they should put up the Railbow Dildo, or whatever this monument is to be, because it shows how Canada obeys Globohomo in all things.
