Perhaps the Pride Human Rights committee could - for next year - see to it that there is a float that brings to everyone’s attention the plight of gays in Gaza and West Bank at the hands of their own governments. It might also be highly educational for our city to be informed about public executions of gay people in places like Iran and Sudan. The strict Islamist regimes in the middle east have a ghastly and horrid record of human rights when it comes to gay people.

In that Pride Toronto stands for free speech it would be great to also see fair speech by having floats or information about the real gay human rights abusers in the middle east.
