The City of Vancouver kicked off a year-long celebration of LGBTQ contributions to the cultural fabric of the city, proclaiming 2018 to be the 'Year of the Queer'.



The city raised rainbow and trans flags in front of City Hall on Wednesday to mark the year-long celebration. Two-spirited flags were also crafted and on display at the event.

According to the city, the 'Year of the Queer' is a celebration of queer contributions to the artistic, cultural and social landscape of Vancouver.

I'm not sure what to think of this.

Nor am I.



While I have no problem with gays or trans, I fail to see why the effort to single out celebration for their thing



Seems a phony PC publicity stunt.

More Jew endorsed bullshit.



 Surely you are fine with this CC? Afterall, Canada is an open, tolerant and diverse nation.

The city leadership is extreme.

Extremely idiotic!

There's probably no harm in this, but I don't like government giving exalted status to certain groups.  Government should be neutral with respect to-- race, sex orientation.

BTW whatever happened to the definition of tolerance?



Tolerance used to be "I don't agree with that, but its your life, do as you want"

Now its "you will accept this group, and love them unconditionally, or else."

canadian Jews are 1% of the population and most are conservative voters.

Exactly!  I've got no problem with them doing whatever freakish shit they do in their own homes, but I sure as hell don't need to see them parading around town in their assless leather chaps!

Canadian Jews tend to be more conservative than their American counterparts..



They're not as conservative as Chinese Canadians, but more conservative for sure than French speaking Quebeckers as others here have posted.
