Town Fined for Not Holding a Gay Pride Parade

A Canadian town has been fined $10,000 for refusing to celebrate Pride Month.

Borderline Pride shimmied straight down to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, alleging discrimination.

‘They’re not celebrating us!’

The tribunal hearing went for five days! And again, I’m not making this up.

The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that …
