Pride Toronto has recently joined the list of “inclusive” organizations hypocritically choosing to ignore the heinous atrocities committed against Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 and the suffering of the more than 130 hostages still held by terrorists in Gaza.

The non-profit is responsible for planning the city’s annual LGBTQ+ festival, and whose vision is a world “where all people feel safer, valued, celebrated, and included, regardless of how they identify or who they love.” However, there seems to be a caveat to their mission. Following Pride’s entirely one-sided March 28 statement on the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” there is genuine concern amongst members of Toronto’s Jewish community, particularly LGBTQ Jewish Torontonians, that this year’s Pride festivities will not be a welcoming or safe space for them due to their Zionistic beliefs.
