  • [OT] Toronto Pride parade loses some big-name sponsors

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 1 16:50:04 2025
    Both Home Depot and Google have withdrawn their sponsorship of Toronto's
    annual Pride Parade. Parade organizers blame this on Trump's effect on
    these America-based firms and say they still have plenty of other sponsors.

    Maybe someone pointed out that pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

    That might be a persuasive argument in a religious country; here, not so much....

    So what you are suggesting is that if the Pride organizers think
    they're doing a good work organizing the event what other deadly sins
    are they interested in promoting?
