Seems like Vancouver Pride is ousting anyone associated with GC views.

The Vancouver Public Library has been uninvited from participating in next month’s pride events, marking the second organization to be barred by the Vancouver Pride Society.

The society said in a news release Tuesday that the decision to ban the library from participating comes after library management decided to allow “Meghan Murphy to book space for an event that undermined the dignity of trans women” in January.

Earlier this month, the University of B.C. was banned from marching in the parade after also allowing “transphobic hate speech” by anti-SOGI activist Jenn Smith on its campus. At the time, UBC allowed Smith to speak, citing free speech rights.

Am not anywhere near Vancouver, anyone have the latest on this?

Well, I have a renewed respect for some of Canada's public institutions now, tbh I thought they'd all succumbed to the mass delusion the country is currently in the grip of. So, if some universities and libraries aren't submitting to TRA no-platforming diktats, it's safe to say there's hope for Canada yet.

What Magnetic said.

Pride organisations are a special interest group. If they want to ban people who let women speak about their rights in case it offends males, more fool them.
