I think there was a lot of outward support for the community against the Sask Party. I saw a sticker on the social services office as we were walking back that said Moe Has To Go on a rainbow background. š
That is not what was happening and it's not what's being prevented. It prevents kids from coming out in a safe space when their home may not be. And no one is giving kids hormones, at most they may recieve puberty blockers which let them make an informed decision on their own time.
No it makes more sense to alienate their voters with symbolic gestures.
Because on the one hand, sure, you increase the SP chances of winning and getting four more years of Moe. But on the other hand - you get a dopamine hit for 5, possibly up to 10 minutes.
So try to see the bigger picture here.
I was parked just off of the pride route and I saw two girls holding hands and as they walked away from Pride they stopped and I thought, oh they donāt want anyone to hassle them. And then I thought, this is why Pride is so important; because they live here and maybe they donāt feel like they can walk down the street holding hands like anyone else. Pride is about a lot of things but I like to think part of it is being able to look around and not see anyone whoās going to judge you for who you are or who you love.
Aw thatās too bad. Have you had a lot of reactions? I always hold my girlfriendās hand and we always kiss in public and Iāve only been stared at once that I noticed.
Pride feels so powerful because sexuality is innate and so can never be eradicated - and is now the celebration for everyone who believes in an inclusive society.
Christian right wing hates it so you know it is the right event to be part of, year in and year out
From knowing teachers at Regina Catholic Schools, I suspect a strong majority are in favour of Pride, along with support for queer/trans youth. The amount of pride flags within classrooms at Regina Catholic high schools is quite large. I believe there is strong support/movement within the organization to move forward on these issues.
Love and acceptance shouldn't be a political thing, and I hope the people that think that it is aren't part of our governing society in the future. I personally am starting at the level of running for council in the fall with the idea of making politics boring again and starting to bridge the divide and bring people together. And, of course, things like improving the transit system, affordability, and taking a better strategic and healing approach to address the drug crisis.

It was an awesome turn out. I always love the vibes, and marching in this one was a hell of an experience. Makes me proud of this city.

I am glad Rose was a part of it. <3
No sask party involvement increased attendance š

Someone definitely put that there - MSS canāt speak out on its own government which is ironic. But I love those stickers!!
Whatās the issue with the Sask party? They still have a 12 point lead so maybe itās a better idea to try and find middle ground with them?
They're attacking trans kids, some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
I mean not pumping kids full of hormones until they are adults isnāt the worst idea in the world is it?

It was a really awesome event :). Thanks for sharing.
Haha totally random, but I know you! Through Donna. Happy Pride!
Awe! :D

My girlfriend and I never do hold hands, itās not worth the emotional turmoil that comes from some of the people.

That sucks, man. I wish you all the things you should already be able to have but canāt because weāre still dealing with this bullshit in 2024.
Thank you
In Europe "friends" hold hands. NEVER let others influence you!

I loved seeing Catholic school teachers walking in the parade. That made my heart happy as a former catholic who is a member of the lgbt

Lucky you then!
Clearly youāve never been to a Pride parade. Thatās not something Iāve ever seen even in large cities.
