Show your Pride!


A message from the Ontario NDP LGBT Caucus:

With Pride celebrations beginning across the Province, the Ontario LGBT Caucus is hard at work creating the biggest, loudest and sexiest NDP presence at Pride in 29 years. Our Pride Planning Committee has brought together individuals from the NDP community to plan, organize and create our presence.
We are all very excited about what is happening around Pride this year, and we
want to invite local riding associations to get involved.
Pride is a celebration of the historic and ongoing struggles of the LGBT community, as well as a spirit of hope and empowerment for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Trans and all disadvantaged individuals around the world. Pride is also a time for fun, entertainment and activism.
This year, our Caucus will endeavor to engage with the LGBT community through our Pride presence. Ours will be a celebration of the shared political ethos of our Party and our community, highlighting our common political ideals such as equality, human rights and freedom.
We would like to extend an invitation to the Riding Association and all its members to come out and participate in the Pride celebrations we are planning in Toronto. [...]. Please take note of the following dates:

Toronto Dyke March - Saturday, June 27 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM     
 Beginning at corner of Church St. and Hayden St.      
(Although the march itself is Women-only, male members of the Party are encouraged come and support the march at the NDP booth.)
