. “It was very unfortunate that the group decided to take away the opportunity from the queer community the one time of the year folks come from all over the world, all over Canada, all over Ontario to celebrate themselves, to be themselves,” Modeste told The Toronto Sun Monday.

“I was not surprised. I was disappointed. It was just not the place for this.”

The Coalition Against Pinkwashing — a coalition of queer and trans activists from Palestine solidarity groups — interrupted the Pride parade with a protest around 6 p.m.

Modeste said it was safety concerns following the 20-minute protest that led to him to cancel the remainder of the parade, which began at 2 p.m.

“Protestors were starting to yell at individuals that were there to celebrate — whether they were members of the community or allies,” he said.
This is unfortunate. The parade has to be shut down due to safety concerns.

What is wrong with people?
