...it is to be expected when you lose sight of your basic vision...celebrating being "gay!" Atheists haven't hijacked The Santa Claus parade, Capitalists haven't hijacked The Labour Day Parade, the KKK haven't hijacked Caribana, etc. etc. The atheists, capitalists, racists, etc. have every right to espouse their views but they know the organizers of the relevant celebrations won't allow their celebrations to be hijacked.
Pride Toronto cuts three positions, loses $250,000 — all thanks to anti-Israeli bigots
July 16, 2010 – 11:53 am
This week, Pride Toronto executive director Tracey Sandilands sent the following email to her staff:
“It is becoming clear that we are not in great financial shape at present. We lost a significant amount in expected sponsorships as a result of the political messaging issue, and beverage sales during the festival were down against both 2008 and 2009 figures, while toonie drive also came up short. Due to this situation, we are reviewing all costs and will need to implement severe cuts for the 2011 festival year if we are to survive. As part of this exercise, no temporary contracts will be renewed and the following staff will finish up by end July: TK, Dina, Cristina, Spink and Lina. We have had to let Mary Zondanos and Michael Ain go, and our office admin Coralee will be leaving to go back to school at the end of August. All these positions will remain unfilled until further notice … The next year will be a challenging one under these circumstances, and we will need the support and commitment of all our incredible volunteers to get through it.”
