Really love your discussion about Cap Pride!! And it's inspired me to attend Dyke March this weekend Thanks for bringing such a nuanced approach because I was feeling exactly how you described: the pride parade doesn't matter to me anymore because I HAVE a queen community around me. But I hear you. It's important to keep these events alive because not everyone has that. And having a continuous quiet presence in Ottawa is so important. I still won't be attending Cap Pride but will happily go to the Trans March and Dyke March to celebrate pride this year 💓
