Dear Pride Toronto Co-Chairs, You’ve given me no choice but to boycott Pride next year since you are going back on a promise you made to our most marginalized communities, that shouldn’t have had to be made in the first place. Though I admit, with my head hung in shame, that my reaction was not[…]

Hi folk, I have been watching the genocide against PoC in the united states as it unfolds. My heart aches for you and my righteous anger is roaring. Every name on that long, growing list, every appropriation and derailmentof your cause, I shake my head in my hands. You are all AMAZING and STRONG and[…]

My partner and I are sickened by the pure hatred and violent backlash that the Black Lives Matter Toronto organization is facing after the sit in at Toronto Pride. What you did was brilliant. We are a queer couple living in Halifax, NS and we were so excited when our Facebook feeds lit up with[…]

a letter of love and support!!! thank you!!!

Thank you for the tireless work you do. Thank you for doing it despite the amount of hate you’ll receive — hate, the dispersal of which is the entire point of your work.

I’ve been to the Love Letters page and don’t see a way to leave one.  So I thought I’d write.  While it was Pride’s parade and their day, I don’t have a problem with BLM standing up and demanding inclusion.  Neither organisation is against the other and those who are oppressed need to stand together. […]

hello friends, thank you for all the work that you do, and for having the courage and stamina to do it. I’m so sorry that you have been receiving hate mail. It must be beyond awful. I support your group and your action at the Pride parade. I think that you should not listen to[…]

Peace Dear Beings, Just a note of deep appreciation and loving energy for your beings. Acknowledging how as a brown queer person I benefit for your knowledge, lives, actions and your calls for justice. I can only imagine the pain, the hurt, the rightful rage, the vulnerability, and the hope and belief in all you do[…]

Black Lives Matter, Thank you for the reminder that Pride is political. Thank you for demanding that Pride is returned to its political roots. I support your demands wholeheartedly and am so appreciative of the work you have put in to envisioning and putting into action this future for Pride and for Toronto. I am[…]
