The funny thing is, especially on the hand-wringing anti-Ford crowd at the Toronto Star, the whole story has created a bit of a backlash against the Star and for Ford's right not to go to Pride.

It seems it's back fired on the self-righteous pinkie crowd at that paper. Most of Toronto are kinda tired of the nearly naked antics of the mega-flamers that strut their stuff downtown for the parade.

That includes my gay friends who haven't gone in years.

Parades don't bother me, I can stay away from them. What I hate are the marathons that always seem to block roads just where I want to cycle or drive. Can't we do something about them?

Toronto is a write-off with events there every weekend from May to September.

Good point. I have a few gay friends that are against the Pride parade. As one put it, "The participants in the Pride parade do more to damage the perception towards gay people than anything else."

It may have bean a good thing at the beginning as it was about pride. Now it's got a "We're going to ram it down your throat (no pun intended), whether you like it or not... and you better attend because if you don't, we'll know you hate gays" attitude.

The parade has been taken over by extremist gays. 8O

al Gayda?? 8O :lol:

I don't recall seeing the mayor at the Santa Claus parade when I've been there and I don't think there's any reason for him or her to attend such an event unless they'd like to.

If Rob Ford didn't show for the Santa Claus parade due to a family event, it wouldn't even made it to the media.

Yeah, but he DID show up for the Santa Claus parade. He also showed up for the St. Patrick's Day Parade and a bunch of others. This is the first one he's chosen to skip.

From the Star: "Parades attended by Ford since his election last Oct. 25 include two Santa Claus parades, St. Patrick’s Day, the Beaches Easter event and the Good Friday procession in Little Italy."

Good for Ford. He's appealing to his voters like Miller used to do for his voters.

The Star are getting good at being out of step with the majority of the GTA.

Well I think he is slated to attend the "Lesbian Nazi Hookers - Abducted by Aliens" parade, which should silence all his critics!
