Last week I received an interesting, and I must say disturbing email from Gregory Tomchyshyn and the entire CitizenGO team.
There are recent events that transpired at the annual Pride Toronto parade on June 25th, 2023, that are alarming, and to the CitizenGo team, these shocking incidents must not go unchecked. Apparently fully naked individuals were openly flaunting their nudity in front of children, promoting the normalization of the LGBT sexual lifestyle.
Toronto’s Pride Parade has not been without controversy with some individuals finding public displays of affection between same-sex couples, and individuals dressed in provocative attire during the parade inappropriate, and offensive.
This year, some attendees have expressed their outrage at what they witnessed and have spoken to the fact that these actions blatantly violate Canada’s public decency laws and negatively impact our children’s impressionable minds.
It was reported that newly elected Toronto Mayor, Olivia Chow, was even seen participating in the parade where these actions took place. The CitizenGo team wants to hold her and the City of Toronto accountable for allowing and endorsing these deliberate violations of section 173 of the Criminal Code.
So far, over 13,322 individuals have demanded that the City of Toronto enforces the Criminal Code regarding public exposure!
“Scantily clad people in hyper-sexualized clothing displayed immoral sexual fetishes, while some individuals even chose to GO FULLY NAKED in front of children to normalize the LGBT sexual lifestyle,” shared Gregory Tomchyshyn, Campaigner for CitizenGo Canada. “These naked men held signs such as, ‘Life is short: play naked’ and ‘Good things happen when you are naked,’ openly flaunting their nudity in front of children.
This behavior clearly violates Canada’s public decency laws and aims to indoctrinate our children into the LGBT lifestyle, exposing them to inappropriate sexual content.”
I was curious, so I went and took a look at Section 173 of the Criminal Code of Canada (CCC), which explicitly states that: Every person who, in any place, for a sexual purpose, exposes his or her genital organs to a person who is under the age of 16 years
- Is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of 90 days: or
- Is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of 30 days.”
It looks like Gregory might have a point. Does this mean that the Pride Toronto parade is blatantly violating laws with the full approval of the city administration. Hmmmm!
Community, I would love to hear your thoughts, and I would love to hear what the federal government has to say about this. Are we dealing with a clear double standard, and if so, why? Also, who are the parents who brought their children to this event knowing that nudity was on the agenda?
