Again, no, it’s not (in the grand scheme of things). As I said, this simply mirrors the decisions of YYC, Toronto, and Vancouver in the past year banning institutional representation. Maybe you misunderstood what this thread was started on, but it was YYC Pride banning institutional representation (including an official presence, booth, floats, etc).
So this is not an escalation, it’s YEG mirroring other Pride decisions, including the one this thread was started on. Saying “now being out of uniform isn’t good enough” is a disingenuous bump of this thread. Being out of uniform alone wasn’t good enough in Calgary last year either.
As always, all members of these organisations are welcome to march as citizens.
