Millions expected for Toronto Pride festivities | CTV News Toronto at Six for June 28, 2024

From the street fair to parties to parades, millions of people are expected to descend on downtown Toronto for Pride festivities; sobering numbers to repair and maintain the Ontario Science Centre has tempered hopes Toronto city hall may be able to save it; and, Homa Ashrafpour of Richmond Hill thought she found an affordable cottage rental on Facebook Marketplace, only to lose $1,000 to a scam.

a total shame !

Hahaha BILLIONS of people will AVOID Toronto this weekend😂

[@BajiKorvisamo]

Even better

[@checkfactschecking]

And yet Torontonians are going to profit nicely as this parade brings in millions of people a ton of money to support a crumbling infrastructure. But you wouldn't know that because that cone hat keeps knowledge away.

[@CoHostColby1]

As a gay man, I'm deeply FRUSTRATED And DISGUSTED by how Pride has been overtaken by radical demands and rhetoric from some within the transgender/non-binary community and other radical fringe groups. Pride originally stood for celebrating and fighting for the rights of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. It was about equality and acceptance in society. But now, it feels like a complete distortion. Why are we parading naked or promoting sexual fetishes in public? And why are we pushing for gender-affirming care for minors? These issues have little to do with the core struggles faced by LGB people. It's embarrassing and not what Pride should be about. Children shouldn't be exposed to this kind of agenda. Pride should remain focused on the rights and visibility of sexual orientation without these radical and dangerous distractions/ideas/themes. Leave the Children alone

[@thereforeayam]

It's worse & for worse reasons than stated here.

[@DamianKReacts]

Fully agreed. Well said.

[@lalalallal5390]

OP people like you are why are community suffer. You can’t speak for the needs of all queer people. Gender affirming care saves lives. Pride isn’t as fetish based as you are making it out to be. It sounds like you are from an older generation not understanding the needs of a new generations.

Consider that your fundraising efforts mainly go to compensating their super high salaries for people who just sit in meetings all day. Look up their salaries online; you'll be shocked. 😱 executive director of Casey House $170k/yr They use volunteers, marginalized vulnerable people, or recently landed refugees to work for fundraising so their staff can get paid. Do they provide any financial help to those in need! No, $0.00 that comes out of citizens taxes

[@anthonypickering7259]

The Mr and Miss Chin bikini contest which was held annually with Caribana weekend and was diverse, was stopped by the LGBTQ community because it was deemed offensive. Half naked people on trailers shooting water guns at each other isn't during a gay pride parade? So, Liberal leader Katherin Wynne said she would use the money from the contest for diversity. The contest was diverse and nothing "diverse" or multicultural hasn't filled the Mr and Miss Chin contest. And you wonder why the LGBTQ have a hard time being accepted? The Liberals caused it with divisive, woke backward thinking
