Pride Week and Parade are back after two-year hiatus
“Pride has always been political. Pride has always been about standing up to all forms of oppression,” said Ohana, this year’s grand marshal of Vancouver’s Pride Week.
“We still are fighting for our lives on a daily basis,” she said. “That still, even a public school will not be the safest place it should be.”Article content “Our community is extremely resilient and we continued to be during ongoing crises — pandemic, poisoned drugs, systemic inequity. … Unfortunately, these days are still full of these challenges,” said Serena Jackson, co-hair of the city’s 2SLGBTQ+“We will continue to rise in the face of racism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and all forms of hatred.”
His speech touched upon how the pandemic forced people back inside and online, how hatred aimed at the gay and queer community, at women, at people of colour has flared.
