Toronto Pride and Gay Rights


http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dailybrew/toronto-pride-festival-heart-canada-gay-rights-movement-184423222.html

 

Interesting blog that I thought I would share :)

 

Toronto, in the Province of Ontario and has one of the largest Pride Parades in North America is set to have this years Parade with an added addition. The newly elected Premier of Ontario and her wife will be marching in the parade as they have done for several years.

 

Next year Toronto has been bestowed the honour of hosting the 2014 World Pride Parade.

 

The main reason I bring this up is the stats that are in the article. When gay marriage was legalized, the majority of Canadians were against it. 10 years later and the majority are in favour of it. I always hoped that the US would find a similar path in gaining equal rights for their gay population.

 

Wouldn't it be great in 10 years to have the same stats out of the US? Once the general US population realize that the world isn't falling in on them I hope this is achieved.

 

I applaud SCOTUS for their recent decisions and hope this is the first step of a great journey for true equality be it marriage, employment, housing, and the full gamete of issues that the gay population has face discrimination for years.

We may not be able to style disputes well between Quebec and the rest of Canada but on other things we are rather good at.

My home state of Iowa has led the way here in the states regarding gay marriage. Hopefully, in the near future, all 50 states will be in the same column. And that we'll see, like the majority have in Canada, that the sun continues to rise each day in spite of marital equality.
