Having celebrated Pride Month with Pride Toronto, Fierte in Montreal and now looking towards an exciting Capital Pride in Ottawa, I found myself sitting down to ask myself what Pride means to me in the world we live today. Yes it’s a lot of fun and can make for fabulous memories with queer people around the world, but there is also a weight to that question that should be acknowledge.
