Here's the poop: Toronto city councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, who's running for mayor, has brought forth a motion to strip the Pride Parade of funding if it doesn't ix-nay the anti-Israel stuff. Local gay rag Xtra is crying foul and accusing Mammoliti, natch, of being "anti-gay," an accusation that's also being lobbed at the Conservative government, which has just put an end to federal funding.
My suggestion: fund the sucker and permit whatever Pride floats float their boat. With one proviso. Funding is contingent on there being a float behind the anti-Zionist display. It will be full of fake cadavers (sequins optional) hanging from nooses, with scaffolds labeled "GAZA," "IRAN" and "SAUDI ARABIA." This message, in big, bold letters, must appear on the float's base: SHARIA=DEATH FOR GAYS.

Where is the conservative gay lobby? They can't be as clueless as the clowns who run the Pride Parade. Maybe they're all hiding out with the 'moderate muslims'.
I'm still waiting for the Queer Tamils Against Sri Lankan Apartheid movement. They and their numerous activist friends would really add a spark to the parade.
Talk about drama... here's a letter written by a queer :
He needs to go.....just like Harper this guy is a narrow minded asshole...he hates gays he thinks he is hot shit....If you remember Harper fired Tourism Minister Diane Ablonczy for giving money to Pride....now Mammoliti is try to stop funding too....I hate to say this but Hitler comes to mind...people beware no one though he was the devil and look what happen...if these two had there way gays would be put to death or put behind bars....Speak up now folks and do not let Mammoliti get away with this....Toronto is know world wild for it's Gay Pride...they see us here as a open minded country....and if we are going to host World Pride in 2014 we should not let pricks like him give Pride a black eye.....Queers Against Israel Apartheid should be in the parade just like all the other...Mammoliti is nothing more then a Harper clone.....We see you for how your really are Giorgio....
You see, if you don't support the annual naked parade, you're like Hitler.
Not only queer, queer AND dumb.
BCF--I'd sponsor the float just to see that!
D.S.--one of the most vocal opponents of the Queers for Gaza stuff is a gay. Unless someone's prepared to "out" a former Tory cabinet minister, that's about as "Conservative" as it's going to get, I'm afraid.
sanwin--not that I'm such a huge Giorgio fan, but I think he's right about the parade being the wrong place for Zionhass. (Not that any place is the right one, but, still, Gays for Gaza is about as ga-ga as it gets. Mind you, I'm kinda gonna miss not being able to see Bernie in his Queer T. Now, THAT, was a hoot 'n' a half.)
Josephine--I'm pretty sure you'll have a long wait. As long a wait as that "CJC for Free Speech" movement.
I have never understood why one would want to 'celebrate' their handicap.....and parade it around even....and complain when someone else doesn't want to pay for the spectacle??
I have a suggestion.
We should start a contest to design an appropriate T-shirt for Burnie, one that he can wear at the parade and then completely deny what the t-shirt said !
sanwin: These two work for me:
CENSOR A 'NAZI' FOR MY PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING
THANKS FOR THE MINARETS
Jim R: I consider it more of a variation than a handicap. I don't get why you'd want to get all pieced and tattooed and parade nekkid through the streets.
Sharia=Death For Gays
Brilliant and original idea. I'll volunteer to raise the $$$$ to fund that float. And i'll walk beside it taking names of volunteers to march in the Ramallah/Iran/ Saudi Arabia Pride Parades. Any guess how many volunteers I'll get?
Not quite so original. I proposed such a float two years ago.

This is the paragraph:
"Imagine burqas and niqabs all over Toronto on festive occasions. Lots of children dressed in leprechaun green burqas for the Irish Parade. Lots of brightly coloured burqas, some with strategic slits, getting down at the Caribana Parade. A group of Burqa Boys wearing black mini-burqas solemnly following behind a float in the Gay Pride Parade. The float would consist of Evin Prison wallpaper around the float, and heliumed black balloons fastened to the floor of the Evin Prison. The balloons would float above the wallpaper of the prison. IN IRAN THERE ARE NO HOMOSEXUALS – BECAUSE WE KILL THEM."
OK so are you mouthy conservatives willing to put your money and energy where your yap is?
You guys are full of little ideas and lot of whine. So let's do it? This year or next. With backing, I could design and organize a great and powerful float for such a parade.
Who is gonna step up the plate?
Here's some fine smart ass placards to go with the FREEDOM FLOAT. Some are exceedingly offensive which is a good thing.
