Folks, I have bitten my tongue for two years now in regards to the Vancouver Pride Society and the INCLUSION of the police department in the pride parade and the rederic behind it. I am appalled by their response, and the announcement today not to include uniformed police in the pride parade. This movement was pushed forth a few years ago by a group that has no association to pride in any manner. They used our forum to bring their protest to the forefront and pride society's have bowed to them. Pride is about INCLUSION of all people and groups NOT EXCLUSION. I have talked with several individuals over the last few months that hold the same opinion that I do. I think it is time to push back in protest to the Vancouver Pride society and their outlook in regards to this matter.
In the coming months I will be moving forward in protest in this regard. I will have a web page up by the end of the year to start a movement against The Vancouver Pride society, including but not limited to attending their meeting in the new year, setting up a petition and if required holding a protest at the Vancouver Pride 2018 in order to stop the parade from commencing. If Black Lives Matters can stop a parade and impose their protest on any Pride festivity it is time that we, as part of the community stand up and push back against them in the same matter.
Pride is and has always been about INCLUSION, not choosing a group or groups to exclude from the event.
Enough is enough and the time for being passive is over. Lets stand up and be heard!!!!
