PRIDE should be more worried about what's going to happen next year. Ban the cops this year and it's not a big deal. They're tough, and most Torontonians and a lot of cops probably don't care. No hurt feelings. But who will it be next year? We are in a grievance culture and it is a target rich environment. Will it be economic issues? Class? Gender? Education? Politics? The list is endless. Eventually, most of council and the taxpayers of Toronto will finally say: "Meh."
It's too bad though. The recklessly inclusive and unlimited PRIDE was something to behold. The divisive, segregating PRIDE? Not so much.
