Meri Perra blogs about the challenges she and her partner face in trying to raise their girls with feminist values
No kidding, queer drama has infected Toronto Pride. Only recently shedding some of last year’s Queers Against Israeli Apartheid controversy, new spectacles for 2011include, unbelievably, city funding up for question (with Queers Against Israeli Apartheid backed out, it seems a go ahead) and whether Mayor Ford, who has proclaimed everything from Veterinary Week to Foot Health Month, will step into 1991 and get around to proclaiming Pride this year.
Not to mention, what were Tourism Toronto and Toronto Pride thinking when they produced their pride-is-all-about-effeminate-muscle-guys-andone-penis-disliking-lesbian promotional “Pride Pump 2000x” video? No, seriously. It’s not even worth embedding into this post, and worse, it’s not even funny.
And yet, here we are, four weeks away from Toronto Pride. And we are so lucky. Complaining about drama while having more rights than most of queers in the world.
