A gay pride parade with a McDonolds golden arches on their floats?
I was thinkin' more along the lines of Hello Kitty
The issue is the "Queers against Israeli apartheid" marching in Pride.
Wait..what??
Pointing out how close Israel is to committing the most ironic genocide in history could be grounds for refusing a parade.
...*Headdesk* Israel is not committing a genocide, or the Palestinians, all of them, would have been long dead.
Surely this event is worth MANY TIMES the $400K in terms of economic benefit to Toronto and Ontario. It's certainly money well spent. Maybe the city or the province could kick in the dough if it's not possible to launch the event absent some tax dollars, or maybe they need to search out some corporate sponsorship.
Fuck that, we are taxed to death in this province as it is.

Read Lemmy's post carefully. Take your time. Maybe read it again. He's arguing that the return on that 400k investment would make it well worth it, that the govt would get more than 400k back in taxes from the economic stimulus.
Maybe they could make it a condition that to get the money, the parade would also need to feature a Homos for Hebes section.

Oh well then, they should canvass the Palestinian community for funds to support their parade.
Yep, considering most Palestinians are muslim, and considering the muslim view on homosexuality I sure can see THAT working out real well for the gay community
Then again, it might change their POV on the whole thing.
WTF is Hebes short for?
