The is a tremendous blow to Pride Toronto. Many of Canada’s internationally recognised LGBTI activists who have received awards from Pride Toronto have returned their awards. Ugandan LGBTI activist Victor Mukasa is among the international award returnees. Bravo Victor for showing African solidarity with Queers Against Israeli Apartheid and the people of Palestine.

Queers Against Israeli Apartheid have requested support from people in South Africa and elsewhere against an attempt to prevent them marching in the annual Pride Toronto Parade. Please add your signature to Zackie Achmat's letter of support.
