PRIDE Shame Award

On June 7, 2010 twenty-three current and former PRIDE grand marshals, international marshals, honoured dykes and award recipients returned their awards to the PRIDE Toronto organization and offered them a "Shame Award" in protest of PRIDE's recent decision on effectively banning the group "Queers Against Israeli Apartheid" from marching.

mohamed... eh.

i wonder why he is so happy they are calling israel an apartheid state.

[ProDeviant]

@habby06 I wonder why you're happy racially profiling!

[Thunderwavia]

@habby06 maybe he is an anti-semitic bigot like the other "useful idiots" for Hamas there, Gay people apparently can be racist bigots as well, and vote NDP mostly, interesting

The Nazis rised to power due to ignorance, Israel has a large gay community, how loud can we say it too you, in Arabs states, gays are murdered. If you live and visit Israel it will all become clear. So the verdict is clear, Israel loves you, Jews love you, Arab states don't. So, stand with Israel, not with those who hate you, and if you stand behind this negative term, without knowing the history of anti-antisemitism, then you are blind, God forbid global Jihad hits North America.

what a joke.

Palestinians hate gays more then Jews, and you want to protect their rights.

The irony is almost killing me. What is a nazi to do, but sit and beam at it all, lol

The gay pride committee eats from the same trough as us, lol, but we dont want em anyways

[CanadianSSKIN]

I heard Elle Flanders has an IQ of less then 100, as do most gay people. They are taking away the jobs of the Nazi's.

Nazis now have no reason to be at Pride, the Nazi have already come, teeheee tehh heee

[goddessnadiya]

lali- you are so great on camera!! <3

[StoogeWatcher]

I find it funny that a pro-Palestine group wants to march in a gay pride parade. Do people know what happens to gays in the Muslim world?

@JohnnyRock2000 Oh JohnnyRock, such an angry bitter racist person. Israel is far from perfect but your vitriolic diatribe is really offensive. In case you didnt know, Israel is a 0.00001% of world population and land mass, surrounded by enemy nations that want it destroyed. Go pick on someone who is really taking over the world. Jewish culture is a beautiful, historic and rich culture, but then you a 100% pure racist so there is no discussion.
