It’s past time for the gay community to wake up to the widespread, insidious politicking and ideological capture that has infiltrated the once-proud movement that sought to liberate same-sex attracted people and welcome them with open arms into broader society. I’m talking, of course, about Toronto Pride, the local manifestation of an annual commemoration of the Stonewall riots in New York City in 1969, which was first instituted in the Big Apple in 1970 and spread across the border in 1981.
An Ottawa elementary school was missing 80 percent of its students during its scheduled “Pride” flag raising ceremony earlier this month, a local pro-family activist has said.
Speaking to LifeSiteNews, Muslim pro-family activist Kamel El-Cheikh said that on June 4, teachers and staff at Michaelle Jean Elementary School in Ottawa, Ontario were baffled when 591 out of 738 students (80 percent) were missing from the school’s LGBT “Pride” flag raising ceremony. The reported absences coincided with Campaign Life Coalition’s 2nd annual National ‘Pride’ Flag Walk-Out Day.

The media is not reporting this story.
Mainstream media outlets have highlighted (and even exulted in) the massive growth of Americans embracing a “LGBTQ+” identity in recent years. They have routinely acknowledged that this shift is heavily tilted toward teens and younger adults.
Often more muted is another observation: that by huge margins these increases have been disproportionately driven by those embracing bisexual identities. Further acknowledgment that this explosion in bisexual identity among the young has been heavily driven by females, not males, tends to be even more subdued.
Liberal cabinet minister Seamus O’Regan is gay!
OK I know this isn’t a profound revelation. It’s been common knowledge for quite some time and O’Regan hasn’t made a secret of it. Despite being a rather avid political watcher, I didn’t know O’Regan’s sexual orientation. I doubtless ran across references to it over the years but it never really stuck in my memory because you know what? It doesn’t matter.
I didn’t fight so that I should be celebrated for an entire month every year just for my sexual orientation.
For those of us who, back in the day, were serious campaigners for gay rights, for the social acceptance of gay people, and for same–sex marriage, the larger objective was always clear: once gay people, after years of debate, disagreement, dissension, and discussion, managed to achieve our goals, we would drop politics, move on, and enjoy the fruits of our victory. In other words, we would happily take up our place as fully equal citizens and go on with our lives. Victory would mean no more need for Gay Pride marches or rainbow flags or for such phenomena as Gay Pride Month, which, as it happens, is now in its first days and which I, for one, am already sick of. (Somehow, it feels to me as if both Gay Pride Month and Ramadan come along every few weeks, not once a year.) The whole point of the gay movement was to reach a point at which we were no longer demonized, no longer subject to arrest just for being who we were, no longer exposed to public name-calling even when we were behaving ourselves in the most civilized manner possible, no longer singled out constantly in a multitude of unfair and unpleasant ways just because of our sexual orientation. The idea was for our identity as members of a despised minority to fall away as much as possible, and to be recognized – and either respected or disliked, based on our own merits – as individuals.
The mind boggles, reels, and whirs at the speed with which the LGBTQ agenda has swept across America.
We saw it flex its muscles in the rapidity with which same-sex marriage became legalized. But Obergefell v. Hodges was only the start. Less than a decade since that historic ruling, society has flipped from where certain sexual behavior was stigmatized to where it is now celebrated and endorsed, even by the government.
Pride Toronto is repaying just over $505,000 in grant funding after an accounting firm found the organization could not prove that it completed several projects despite receiving $1.85 million from the federal government.
In a statement sent to CBC News, Pride Toronto Executive Director Kojo Modeste said the organization is repaying $505,504 total to the federal department of Canadian heritage.
This comes after KPMG, which was hired by the organization in 2021 to review its compliance with agreements for three federal grants, found that documentation was lacking.
One of the most ignored passages in legislative history is this phrase in the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967: Taxpayer-funded media outlets should observe “strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature.”
Yet a new Media Research Center study finds PBS’s flagship NewsHour program aired nine times more coverage in favor of the left-wing “woke” position on so-called “LGBTQ” issues compared to more traditional positions. Over the seven-month period of March 1 through September 30, 2023, supportive coverage almost wholly dominated the “debate,” if you could call it that: 172 minutes for the left vs. 19 minutes for the right. That’s 90.2% supportive coverage for the side pushing “identity” issues.
On August 29, a CNN headline went viral: “Two men in Uganda are facing separate charges of ‘aggravated homosexuality,’ an offense punishable by death under the country’s controversial new anti-gay laws.” The clarifying community note attached to the tweet provided important context: “One man is accused of having a sexual relation with a disabled man, the other of a sexual act with a 12-year-old child. Both are charged with ‘aggravated homosexuality,’ defined as same-sex relations with someone who is HIV-positive, a child, an elderly person, or disabled.”
Consider the difference between the narrative provided by CNN and the reality behind the headline. Now consider the fact that the mainstream press has been doing this for years—and the impact that has had on the public perception of many issues. They’re doing this to us on purpose.
A Catholic school board trustee in Red Deer could face dismissal from her role after public backlash from a social media post that likened LGBTQ pride to Nazi Germany.
Monique LaGrange, a trustee of Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools, posted on social media last week a now-deleted post that featured a picture of children waving Nazi flags above a picture of children waving Pride flags.
“Brainwashing is brainwashing,” her post read.
She made a valid point government indoctrination is evil. Dismissal is a violation of her right to free speech.
Most say they support LGBTQ2S+ Canadians, but actions don’t line up: poll
While Canadians broadly support LGBTQ2S+ people and issues, they are less likely the engage in behaviours that show true allyship for the community, new polling conducted for Global News has found.
The majority of Canadians – 78 per cent – believe transgender people should be protected from discrimination in employment, housing and access to businesses. Seventy-four per cent believe that same-sex couples should have the same rights to adopt children as straight couples. However, the latest polling, conducted by Ipsos, found only a dismal one-in-10 consider themselves to be an active ally to the queer community.
They’re shocked their brainwashing effort hasn’t convinced the public that sexually mutilating children is a good thing.
The federal government issued a, shall we say, unusual new travel advisory this week. It warned against members of “‘2SLGBTQI+” from going to the United States because some states are not promoting the gay and trans agenda with sufficient enthusiasm.
On Aug. 28, Global Affairs Canada amended its travel advisories website for Canadian travellers visiting the United States, saying, “Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons. Check relevant state and local laws.”

An Ontario Catholic school board trustee is being targeted for advocating against flying the LGBT “pride” flag in defense of Church teaching.
On August 30, Niagara Catholic District School Board trustee Natalia Benoit revealed to LifeSiteNews that she has had six complaints filed against her after she put forward a motion to ban divisive symbols, including the LGBT “Pride” flag, from schools in the district.
Fans of HBO’s The Last of Us who didn’t like a gay-themed episode are homophobes, per the show’s co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin.
One episode of the latest zombie apocalypse TV show focused on a couple of middle-aged gay guys, survivalists who meet and fall deeply in love during the apocalypse. This “romantic” episode has nothing to do with the main story that follows stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. It’s one of those side-street episodes “Prestige TV” shows sometimes takes to show how prestigious they are.
Why do they insist on ruining original stories?
Can an Ottawa businessman and Muslim activist successfully organize a million-person march to protest gender ideology in Canadian schools?
Yes, because Kamel El-Cheikh has a Canada-wide network stretching from Vancouver to Halifax and he’s asking not just his fellow Muslims to march in protest but people of all faiths. In doing so, he is shaping a juggernaut of political opposition to the radical LGBTQ policies of federal and provincial governments across Canada that are insisting children be allowed to change their gender without parental consent and be exposed to a perverse cornucopia of sexual fetishism and pornography.
I would love to see this work out for the good of all however I suspect that the schoolboards and politicians will play their usual game of divide and conquer.
Muslims will be granted concessions for their children, Christians will not.
