Ottawa’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community is taking Pride back. This Village stands with Palestine! 🇵🇸🏳️🌈✊
Last year, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe boycotted Capital Pride for standing with Palestine. Corporations, politicians, and non-queer institutions followed suit. They tried to silence us, but our communities showed up louder than ever — Palestinian, Jewish, queer & allied — making it the biggest Pride Ottawa has ever seen.
Now, 22 months into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Sutcliffe wants to return with no apology. He’s still tied to right-wing business interests, still silencing criticism of Israel, and still trying to pinkwash his complicity. Straight cis men in power don’t get to define our Pride — not while anti-queer & anti-trans hate rises.
Capital Pride still hasn’t reinstated their solidarity statement, even after 13,000 community emails. Instead, they’ve welcomed Sutcliffe back. We refuse this betrayal.
🛑 This year, we draw a line. You can’t boycott Pride one year & bully us the next. Pride is always a protest — and this year, it’s a protest against genocide-supporting politicians.
📅 Sun Aug 24 | 12PM | Confederation Park March with Queers for Palestine Ottawa. Bring your 🇵🇸 flags, keffiyehs, protest signs, and Pride is a Protest shirts. Bring your joy, your solidarity, your resistance.
➡️ Let’s take Pride back. Let’s show the world our Villages stand with Palestine.
