‘A dark day for the LGBTQ+ movement’: Montreal Pride Parade organizers bar Jewish groups from march

[shockedcanadian]

The tolerant, diverse Canada.

Canada is not the ally of the West, especially American Values of equal treatment of all regardless of socio-economic status, race, religion or sexual orientation.

If only Americans knew you might not be so willing to jump at the lies manufactured by the Creepy Ones. I suppose the tariffs will sort out our civil liberty violations...

Two Jewish groups say they have been excluded from participating in Montreal’s upcoming Pride Parade next Sunday.

Ga’ava, a Jewish LGBTQ+ group in Quebec, and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), a large community political organization, said they were informed on Wednesday by event organizer, Fierté Montréal, that they would be barred from attending.

A public statement from Fierté Montréal published later that day does not name either group but explained that the festival’s board of directors had “made the decision to deny participation in the Pride Parade to organizations spreading hateful discourse.”

“We refuse to allow the spaces of the Fierté Montréal to be instrumentalized in the context of a conflict that involves major violations of fundamental human rights,” the group elaborated in a lengthy Instagram post that also expressed “solidarity with the Palestinian people” and called for “an immediate and lasting peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

Ga’ava president Carlos Godoy called the announcement “a very hateful decision,” which tells “Jews that they can’t walk together in the Montreal Pride Parade.”

The difference between FASCIST and NOT FASCIST includes the following...


A FASCIST blames THE ENTIRE RACE/RELIGION/DEMOGRAPHIC for the acts of few/part of that group

a NON FASCIST blames THOSE WHO DID IT and not THE WHOLE DEMOGRAPHIC...


Get a clue, MORONS...

You mean like deporting 200 people and calling them sex offenders when only a few fit that description?

Yeah, that's sad.

The Creepy Ones are messing with my IP again the SOBs. I live far, far away from Montreal.

No wonder our allies don't trust us...

But at least they let the Muslims participate.

I would be happy if Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus and every person of faith were participating because it would mean they were moderate and welcoming of others. It's better for all faiths and beliefs about a wide range of issues to be accepting of each other.

To ban Jews is absurd to me. Judaism is the most progressive and flexible of all the main religions of the world even though it does have of course a wide range of beliefs from Orthodox, Hasidic to Conservative, Reform and everything in between.

Because you believe the Creepy Ones when they tell you what Canada represents. Some people on here are probably certain I MUST be a criminal or bad guy because hey, some morally bankrupt creep protecting their diddler friends told them so.

Not sure what you're blathering about. I'm saying they probably weren't barred just because they were Jewish.

The LGBTQ+ community is still made at the Jews because of Abe's failure to stand up for the Gay Community in Sodom when Almighty God cracked on them.

So its really not surprising.

They ere barred for their public stance on not allowing aid for Gaza

It was because they're pro-Palestinian.

AI Overview



Fierté Montréal (Montreal Pride) recently sparked controversy by excluding a Jewish LGBTQ+ group, Gaa'va, from the 2025 Pride parade
.

Here's a breakdown of the situation:

• Background: Fierté Montréal had been criticized for its neutrality regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
• Exclusion of Jewish Group: After a performer threatened to withdraw from the festival due to the planned participation of Gaa'va, a Jewish LGBTQ+ organization, Fierté Montréal issued a statement condemning "the ongoing genocide in Gaza" and promising to exclude groups spreading hateful discourse.
• Gaa'va's Response: Gaa'va, along with its partner, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, expressed deep shock at the exclusion. They stated that Fierté Montréal had accused their representatives of making "allegedly hateful statements" which they denied as hate speech.
• Differing Perspectives: A board member of Helem Montréal, an organization supporting Arabic-speaking LGBTQ+ individuals, criticized Fierté Montréal's statement for its lack of accountability. Some Jewish community members feel that requiring Jews to disavow any connection to Israel is unrealistic and effectively forces them to abandon their community.
• Fierté Montréal's Clarification: A spokesperson for the festival later clarified that Fierté Montréal does not exclude people based on their faith but does exclude groups making "hateful and violent comments", in line with a recently implemented complaints management policy.

In essence, while Fierté Montréal denies excluding Jewish individuals based on their faith, the decision to exclude a specific Jewish LGBTQ+ organization due to alleged hateful comments, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has been met with accusations of antisemitism and discrimination by some.

Thought that was the case.

 

[multivita-man]

It was because they're pro-Palestinian.

Pro human rights, you mean?

 

[Failzero]

Tribal Liberals are teh worst

So Jews have never been there

 

[shockedcanadian]

Not sure what you're blathering about. I'm saying they probably weren't barred just because they were Jewish.

It's really ironic that you say this because when there were literally terror attacks in the West, what did all the politicians say, "don't blame everyone in that community they are not responsible for these attacks". We hear other plastic slogans like, "don't let the terrorists win".

Meanwhile, banning Jews simply because their family members might have relatives there or have relations with Israel are easily banned and no politician will speak out against it.

Look, I will defend anyone in Gaza who is starving and I will call out anyone who purposely supports any such actions. Ditto for innocent deaths on all sides.

Don't tell me though that Judaism is less tolerant than those who despise Judaism as a religion and people. Don't tell me that politicians and leaders aren't more concerned with votes than doing what is right.

It's insulting to my intelligence. It's simple, racism is only deemed as such if it meets a certain criteria. If someone has light pigment and is related to Judeo-Christianity, they are fair game for overt racism. It's disgusting and far too common. What a warped, cowardly species we have become.

Pro human rights, you mean?

Giving Hamas aid, comfort, and a base to plan and carry out their attacks on Israeli citizens isn't a "human right." The Palestinians fucked around, so they were eventually going to find out.
