were there religious groups at your pride? (try two)

[Poll #1586116]


my ass was showing, so i have deleted and recreated, if you're wondering why you're seeing this twice.

there's a blog post going around at the moment, where a christian group went to a pride parade and held up signs apologizing for how other christians had treated them poorly. and i am pleased to see that happened, and i think it doesn't happen enough.

but some people seem so astonished by christians being at pride at all that i am just wondering, do your local churches not come?

there was an entire uu delegation there, i believe, and enormous stickers being handed out saying "lutherans love me" (which is not entirely true, as it's only the elca that i know of and even they are still discussing acceptable career choices for queers at least they were last time i checked).

any hate the sin love the sinner rhetoric gets your comment frozen if not deleted and you possibly banned. fyi.

I failed at ticking the correct boxes, but there are always a variety of churches groups at Toronto Pride. I never remember which ones because I tend not to pay attention to that kind of thing.

There are MCCs and Unitarians, fer sure. And I've seen some Buddhist and Jewish groups (but I couldn't tell you what flavour of Jewish). We also got a bunch of Raelians for a few years.
