Both of those can be true at the same time. The organizers have gone out of their way to exclude whichever groups they see fit. Such as uniformed police and the UCP party. It's hypocrisy at it's finest. I'm not much of a parade person though.

Requiring groups who engage in actions that are counter to A (supporting the LGBTQ community) to show commitment to that support before having an official presence in the parade is not hypocrisy, it's common sense.
While it makes me sad there won't be Stampeders there (though the impending labour day classic that a few have pointed out definitely makes it forgivable), what makes me very happy is that the parade cannot be used for meaningless social point scoring for groups like the UCP who are made up of politicians that do
not support the LGBTQ community in any way.
The real hypocrisy is in these groups marching in the first place.
