Pride Toronto Parade 2024
We deliberated intently for weeks and months on whether we would march after the Pride Toronto statement on Gaza and the failure to denounce antisemitism or to uplift and care for Jewish Torontonians with compassion, dignity, and love. In the end, we continue to engage in discourse and to advocate for our inclusion, and we have decided – boldly – that queer and transgender representation at Pride is simply too important to forego. Many of us have felt alone, without community, and have prayed for visibility, strived for representation, and have built this intersectional space with our bare hands.
We are unwavering in our support for our next generation and steadfast in our gratitude for those who paved the way before us.
Please join us as we stand firmly planted in the truth that Queer people belong in the Jewish community and Jewish people belong in the Queer community.
Registration required. Enhanced security will be present to protect our marching delegation.
