Sun political columnist Brian Lilley talks with Adam Zivo, who writes for the National Post and Toronto Sun, about why LGBT+ activism has gotten more militant.
I don't care about people's sexual preferences, nor should they be treated special just because of it. I am glad that there is a shift its about time!!
agreed, if it were a Hetero thing, we would be condemned as losers, but apparently it's a hard pass for that community. I don't trust anyone who's entire identity is based on immutable characteristics.

Before JT and Liberals, Canadians proudly flew the Canada flag. Now we have to put up the Pride flag and the Palestinian flags ! Oh Canada ! What has happened in past nine years ? It's a shame !
If you just watched movies, television and commercials you would think the vast majority of the country was gay instead of about 5%. Yet all you hear is how they are discriminated against they are and how "stunning and brave" they are. They are flying that rainbow flag like the Russians flew the communist flag over Berlin, like they won a victory, over us I guess.
When I saw the Toronto Pride parade on media last year, with adult men naked playing dominatrix roles in front of children I was disgusted. No support from me.
The Pride parade should be about the struggle that homosexuals have endured and also positive strides that have been made due to their struggle for acceptance.Any overt sexual displays are not to be tolerated in public,leave that sort of thing to private gatherings, nudity should not be acceptable in these parades and any female/ male impersonations should be tasteful and not gaudy but a sympathetic and artistic representation.
There was one Pride event that had Ring toss that used Rainbow coloured Ding dongs one year and in the Video you could see Children in plain view it was disgusting and i instantly lost support for the Pride events for allowing such things out in the open. Not only that but the Pride events cost us the Taxpayer $1.5 Million for Security.
I was ar a coffeshop the day of the parade. I honestly had no idea, I thought I was for the holiday. I saw a man walking by naked, I wad shocked no one called the police? Then some one took a video of my practicing my guitar with pink headphones. I guess know if your on church street every one thinks your gay or support that life style. God forbid if I like pink, or 🌈 (meanwhile according to the Bible it was meant to signify peace).. Some one even wished me happy pride, so I just told her thanks but I dint celebrate that. I have faith that people 1 on 1 can respect each other and their differences in views. However, large groups can tempt issues and aggression. And my last though is why is gay activism pushing the actual sexual private acts? Should it be about the relationships not their fetesh?
And that should be said for any group, no matter who they are, but freedom has been so abused…not just by Canadians but even new comers…every one has an agenda….whats in it for them…entitlement…this government has made our society sick with Woke…
That's not what the celebration is. Candace Owens and Officer Tatum might have told you that's the purpose of the parade, but it is not. It is to show recognition of our ability to live openly without persecution, recognizing that it is not afforded the LGBT in many other countries.
@debussy842 So go parade there, we are sick of this being pushed in our faces, and taking over Canada Day really makes me angry, you had a whole month, our veterans get one day! Just pack up and go please ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Gave them an inch, they took 500 miles. People are sick and tired of having it all shoved down our throats. Nobody gives a crap if you are gay or not. But day in and day out it gets pushed more and more and more. They don't need special months. Much like every other special interest group, they want to be seen as not different, but then demand they have special privileges and want to be seen as different.
I agree with you 100%. They are confusing children when they are at a vulnerable age and kids with special needs are more susceptible. Studies show that those with ADHD or who are on the spectrum are more vulnerable because they’re more likely not to have a strong identity. Children are having their breast cut off!! The brain is developing until you’re 25! At least there should be a minimum age on surgical or hormonal, transitioning. What if you change your mind and there’s no going back, and your life is ruined?? So many bad side affects. Also, teachers are not psychologists, and they need to leave our children alone. What is happening in schools is criminal, and people are finally waking up.
Same for me so I asked what was exactly the money for exactly. Also it is important to note they collect money just before the 1st of July, the biggest business day at LCBO. By doing so they pick the best time against other causes such as Sick Childrens, Animals, etc... That over powerful lobby has gone too far.
@@marcoprolo1488 Your comment shows how delusional our communities' "haters" are. Here's a crazy idea... perhaps you were asked this weekend to donate to Pride because you live in Toronto and this weekend is the Pride parade????
@@debussy842 You are not a community, and I am not a hater. I just noticed I had to go to work half the year for a semi-public organization under the lgbt flag instead of the Canadian flag that it should have been. I feel dominated by a network of people that have gained far too much power through the ruse. I resigned since. Had enough.
As gay man myself, I agree. It's sickening, but it was encouraged by Trudeau. Anything Trudeau do, divide this country, and all that nonsense that is force fed on people is nauseating. There's a saying in life that we have to pick our battles (otherwise the silly stuff might destroy the gains that was made, and sadly that's what happened, they shot themselves in the foot); Personally, I think people want to support, as long it make sense. But when it's disgusting, infuriating, sickening.. People feel they can no longer support such group.

In the 90's my mother was dying of cancer. We had the same blood type and I thought a directed blood donation would make a very personal gift to my mother. After donating over 50 pints of blood to the red cross I was told that I could NOT give a pint of blood specifically to my mother. The Red Cross told me that it wasn't allowed because if aunt Jane found out that nephew Steven had the same blood type as her but was either a drug addict or gay (hence not allowed to donate blood) they didn't want aunt Jane to find out. My reply was "If nephew Steven can't keep needles out of his arm or men's dicks out of his ass just why are me and my mother being punished?" It took about 3 years but directed blood donations were eventually being allowed. Another note, if a straight man assaulting a gay man can be called a 'hate crime' why can't a gay man assaulting a straight guy be called a 'hate crime' as well?
Pretty much all the pushing and the narcissisms is what has a lot of people not enjoying it. The entitled feeling/demands are also getting more and more ridiculous.
That is because none of this is about equality anymore. People are not satisfied to just be equal. Now they want to be special and expect everyone else to constantly affirm that, regardless of whether they want it or not.
As a LGB I agree . I have no idea what the heck happened. One minute we are living like everyone else the next minute it's like watching a sick movie . I don't want pride month , I don't want to be a hypocrite and shove my beliefs and demands down people throats . I turned away from the events it wasn't nothing to celebrate any way. We don't need a month it's ridiculous, we don't need to force people to respect us I'd rather no one knew me at all. Stick to myself I don't bother anyone they don't bother me but lately it is bothering me . Because it's like when people see me they nervous to even say hello without feeling like they are walking on egg shells because of all the suing crap. That ain't right . Plenty of more I don't like going on too. Do what y'all got to do . Don't blame y'all one bit . Don't fund it , don't support it , end the events because no one wants to support evil actions. I like Christian people they tell me all the time God loves me and they love me just want to save me . Other religions though woo wee they want us gone off the planet. Straight folks even voted to help me get married . All these attacks on Christians and straight folks really upsets me . The community turned pure evil . Like a occult more than anything.
100% agree the alphabet group stop parading it . What you do privately is your own business, keep it to yourself. You are the ones that show hate if people don’t except your agenda . There’s one ☝️ rainbow ; It’s Gods promise to the world . People get accused of being phobic if they don’t agree with LGBTQIA’s that’s a lie , people don’t hate you they hate what you represent and pushing it in peoples faces . How you live is your choice and freedom to chose , we also have a choice and right to choose for ourselves to have freedom to walk in freedom to not have this agenda to push your sexual preference on others . It’s called perversion especially pushing it on children . Let children be children . Not to cause confusion that will harm them . Leave our kids alone !!!!
Leave our kids alone. Teach them in school math, sciences, history, literature, foreign languages and sound working skills instead of abnormal perversity. I don't care what you do with your life; just stop imposing your ideology on our kids while expecting financial support from our taxes..
Find out the views of your school and teachers toward “critical pedagogy”. If they have any support for it, keep them away from your children. It is the Marxist (literally) teaching approach toward critical theory. The intent, as per the “academics” that invented it, is to indoctrinate children to become Marxist activists.
AT this point teaching a kid to raise farm animals and to live off the land is what we should be teaching them. Take the power away from these greedy corporations and governments. Go back to more municipal local governments having power and support local farms. Canada is a beautiful country and we are rich in resources but we need to use them properly.
It’s utterly unacceptable that our Veterans are short-changed with “never enough money” but rainbow parades receive millions. I want Canada Day back to celebrate this great nation, not this shell of an ideology.
When some one goes to jail for doing a burn out on a pride flag on the road, and there are no consequences for people who expose themselves to kids and urinate on each other in public, that is maybe your answer.
This bothers me large. My partner is a veteran with major traumas from tours of duty. I don't think who people fack deserves a parade, a month of celebration and fanfare when vets get 1 minute of silence.
How did Canada day become pride weekend parade? Now we can't even go to a parade with kids without having to be part of LGBT somehow, We lose all around.
Constant days of ads -- Flags -- sidewalks -- signs -- parades -- none of which help the cause -- and all PRIDE is SIN. Fatigue is real in Canada, not hate or non-acceptance just flat-out fatigue. GOD Bless
As a gay man I just want to live my life in safety and just a normal quiet life. With my partner, stop the parades and just stop talking about it. I just want to blend and be treated the same as everyone else. And I agree, the only flag is the maple leal
Acceptance for LGBT was at all time high until queer and trans activists started pushing gender idiology into children, turns out alot of people are very protective of children
You cons are using the same argument against trans peoole that you used against gay people in the 80s and 90s. "Don't let gays teach your kids. They're indoctrinating them." Keep repeating the bad parts of history, smart guy
Sick of it. You're gay, not a martyr. That said, gay people are people with hopes and dreams and are gay. The thing putting people off is the insufferable activist types
Thank you. Most of us are regular boring people that just want to enjoy life & be left alone. Not interested in the activist pervs making us all look bad.
I really like that: “You’re GAY, not a MARTYR”!!!! You’re so right- that’s how they act. I remember when Bruce Jenner changed his sex and everyone was saying how “brave” he was. What a load of crap! “Brave”!🤬
I don't agree with that. All he's saying is that the message was changed, but was the underlying sentiment changed? I'm not so sure there was every any difference between the 70's and today.
WRONG. If you go to a Pride parade, are all these people activists? Yet a lot of people are sick of seing the Pride parade and pride reminders. There's a fundamental issue with the rainbow community and the activists just makes it for the whole world to see.
@tomaytotamaato The message never changed they kept demanding more, and the politicians kept giving in, Making the ones that didn't want to be apart of a giant spectacle to begin with feel like clowns that are forced along the ride they are just expected to be happy with, All because few people and desperate politicians thought sexual pride should be a giant spectacle for all ages while telling people they should make it their whole personality and not just keep it as something you keep in the bedroom with your partner
The government is doing the same thing with indigenous stuff as well. You can see the support is following the same downward spiral as this issue. Much of the blame sits with the Liberal/NDP coalition who only pushes the same few issues every budget, ignoring the majority of Canadians.
So true. My kids are all grade and below. Whenever we go their school for a concert, or any event, they always do the obligatory “We recognize the land…….” blah blah blah. The parents all sigh, start whispering with their spouse, the students are all rolling their eyes, wiggling around, talking to their friends. Everyone is just so sick of all of the incessant activism and attempted guilt tripping. Even the kids!
Exactly!! Teachers and their UNIONS need a thorough shaking up and dumping out of this radicalized perversion that has infiltrated and/or been welcomed into the schools, communities and lives and homes of children.
Walk down the street as a straight person on a Monday afternoon with assless chaps and a sock on your penis. See what happens. But fly the flag and all of a sudden your not a sicko, you're a hero. We really do live in clown world.
Funny you say that " and I don't want to be" I think there are some crack-pots who make a decision to be gay. They are not genuinely gay but like the lifestyle and make a decision.
We thought it was about rights, but it was actually about usurpation. They want to destroy the nuclear family unit and indoctrinate kids into their dark world of chaos. These aren't my words but theirs.
Another important factor they missed: immigration. Canada has let in a huge number of immigrants, many coming from socially conservative cultures, societies, and faiths. This inevitably impacts things.
This is true, and on the weekends, a group described as “Syrian migrants” in Halifax seriously beat up a lesbian couple. We have to protect our LGBTQ Canadians, but they can’t take over and indoctrinate our children. We need healthy boundaries.
LGBTQ is anti-homosexual. It supports castrating gay boys and insists that homosexual men have sex with women with beards. Stop saying LGBTQ. Ts and Qs have nothing to do with us gay people. And I am not queer
@@Cafeallday222 stop putting “us gays’ in a damn category. You’re the reason people like us get so much hate in the first place. It’s not ALL of us. And saying we’re are grooming your children is hate speak and simply not true. There’s always a few people that take things to far with the pride stuff but I believe once a a year there needs to be a celebration of how far we have come to fight for our rights not to be bullied or killed simply because we like the same sex.
Then the gay community needs to speak up and push back against it. Straight peoples voices have zero impact. If its true that the majority of the gay community is against the toxic/militant/vocal/activist side of the gay community then its time THEY start speaking out against it and separating from it.
@@Disgruntled_Canadian exactly. Where did all the money for the Toronto pride parade disappear too? Why did pride Toronto let themselves be high jacked by BLM? Why did the grass roots pride parade sell themselves out to large corporations for float sponsorship?
@@Cafeallday222 Same here, yet I can't even point out any of the things mentioned above, without being told I'm a homophobe by someone who wasn't even alive back then.
Whatever you do don’t blame the gays. Most don’t want anything to do with all this Trans crap! It’s unfortunate they got lumped into the alphabet people. Gays were not born in the wrong body. They just are. Same as me being straight. I was just born that way.
Children still need to learn what being gay is in school. I believe it’s the right thing so people don’t grow up to be and closed minded and bigoted like yourself. I don’t expect you to get that because you probably weren’t bullied, beat up or even killed because of your sexual preference. Kids needs to learn that being gay is not something to be feared or ashamed of. We’re not “grooming your kids” we’re making them aware of it so something should happen where their parents disown them and they have no place to go that our community will help them find their way. That’s why we have pride once a year. That’s why we don’t have heterosexual days… so ignorant.
They prided people against them. Ones sexuality is their own personal business and this constant pandering to this life style has entrenched a serious dislike for it.
I went from going to pride for fun and the last one i went lots of men walking naked.. im no prude but hell thats illegal for all of us but you not? I was done
I was never part of the community but I didn’t care, treated everyone the same, liked shows with lgbt characters like Will and Grace, but now the sight of any of this stuff makes me sick, especially after realizing, that they were injecting it into everything my kids were consuming, even schools are no longer safe. I literally get anxiety when they are at school. So, considering they have injected themselves into every part of my life, they need to GO AWAY NOW!
@@Disgruntled_Canadian We all just need to keep our sexuality to ourselves, I think. Yeah I'm a straight man, but I'm not putting it on a shirt and looking for attention about it.
Brian, I salute you for a very positive video, a great conversation with a genuinely intelligent guest who managed to educate us fully in under 15 minutes. Thank you, Adam!!!❤😊
I didn't "hate" Brian's approach on this topic with that "you know what" 🤮but I would have to give this a thumbs down for the time they gave this "you know what"🤮
It was a day, then a week and now it's a month that lasts all freaking summer. It WAS about inclusiveness, and now it's the opposite. The pronoun mafia and trans rights activists have pushed us too far.
This shift has always been in the back of my mind. Thanks radical activists and crazy “queer” people. I am so embarrassed of what my community has become. Us normal gays need to speak up!!!
When my 10 year old granddaughter feels uncomfortable with what they teach her at school it pisses me off. Her Nan and Auntie are gay they are angry about what they are teaching 10 year olds at school.
Brian, this was an astonishing interview. It brought out some of the anger I have been experiencing toward these activists. We were the generation that realized that the gay community was going to add add significant value by being recognized and accepted. But at the same time don't tell me what to do with my kids. Do you see the parallel across the woke, the activists, and the Palestinians?
When this movement started going after children, attacking parents, taking over women's spaces and forcing their views on society, it outraged a great many people. Even our Prime Minister has openly vilified parents who have a right to speak out to protect their children. This is not a way to gain support for any type of movement especially one so radical. It erodes support and empathy for anything and anyone attached to it. Thank you for speaking about this.
We dont care what you do with your Saturday night , your preferences in the bedroom has nothing to do with us, go have fun. The issue is with activists and attention seekers pushing their preferences on others. Especially when it affects children. Im a 60 year old, straight, white plumber. An average guy. If i suddenly wanted to start reading to kids in schools or libraries about sexuality, or anything else for that matter, you would and should be suspicious as a parent. But if i put on a dress and some lipstick suddenly youre all for it?? This is why people are pissd, stop accepting crazy.
What happens in someone's bedroom shouldn't be pronounced to the world, that is a private matter. There were problems and those problems are gone as was stated and your lifestyles are tolerated but make no mistake you can't force it to be accepted like the activists promote.
Exactly, If a Hetero were to live their life gntl gazing, they would be mocked for weak losers, but somehow this community can cck slap us with their agenda and we're supposed to just sit back and enjoy, no, the pendulum always swings back.
Hopefully when Trudeau leaves the country will go back to normal. Seeing that swimmer Lia ( William) Thomas get denied was a huge victory for straight, normal, sane, healthy living
What’s the proverb? Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. You can see the said movement is living up to their name. No one ever got sick of a humble person because they were too humble.
LGBTQ is anti-homosexual. It supports castrating gay boys and insists that homosexual men have sex with women with beards. Stop saying LGBTQ. Ts and Qs have nothing to do with us gay people. And I am not queer
My business won't do business with them anymore. They've crossed so many lines so many times and as soon as they started chanting "we're coming for your kids", that was the last straw. We don't hire predators.
My workplace also took the same stance. They don't have time to look for a needle in a haystack so they refuse to hire anyone who identifies with that group.
All of this can be blamed on the liberals who sewed the seeds of division and empowered BLM, Feminism and Pride for making everyone who wasn't them into their enemies overnight. Anyone who voted liberal is solely responsible for this happening. It's going to take a very long time (perhaps 2-3 decades) before the dust settles. Until then, I'm steering clear of any group that labeled straight white males as "n@zi's" or "white supremacists".
I don't blame you at all. I have family members who have told me that those people have been so emboldened that they have been flashing their genitals at work and anyone who complains about it gets fired for "discrimination against lgbtq" I never thought i'd live to see the day that p3d0s would be a protected class in society over normal people. I don't even want to work anywhere that doesn't have 100% straight conservatives. I no longer trust ANYONE that is part of ANY sjw group (feminist, BLM, LGBT, radical extreme vegans pro-palestine nutbars & those loopy crazy environmentalists)
They've gone beyond their rights into trying to suppress those who don't share their ideology. Be anything you want to be, but leave it in your private bedroom.
@@axistiltproductions I have no plans on eating that crap. It would be however like watching a pig eat a snake or a rat. It would be that train wreck that you just had to look at.
Who cannot forget Trudeau dancing around like a fool with his tongue hanging out, dressed in a pink shirt and hugging huge weird looking men dressed as giant ludicrous female clowns. So embarrassing, the coverage was in all European media and he was labelled Canada’s first openly gay P.M. Then when parents realized their targets of the LGBTalphabet cult he had the nerve to call concerned parents “hateful”. I despise this guy and he has to go, he’s ruined the lives of those gay and lesbians who just wanted to live their lives in peace.

Good! Enough visibility! Sick of it! Plus Canadians sick of hearing their PM always speaking about his support for LGBT rights as if no other issue is as important! Just insanity! Time to move on PM!!
That’s all he has, he hasn’t done anything to help anyone else or done anything of significance so he will continue to larp on the one thing he’s self-perceivably done something about, by throwing money at them which really does nothing but enrich activists unrighteously.
Adding other abbreviations to LGB is the cause of the problem. T+ activists have other goals, different from the initial LBG goals. In my opinion the T+ should disengage from LGB but are using it for their own purposes, taking it over.
Just going to throw this out there, but maybe if that community stopped shoving it in everyone's faces at every opportunity people would be more accepting. History has proven that when you do that the pendulum swings the other way pretty hard.
@@doorbash5680pandering and wasting tons of money on all of this for a minority group is one of the most idotic things he could possibly do. He thinks we all like it and he’s so out of touch that he doesn’t realize this alienates voters against him.
The crux of the problem comes from abandoning the push for equality and replacing it with equity, which uses open discrimination to achieve. Then instead of elimination exclusion, they replaced it with forced inclusion by again, openly excluding others. All that had been achieved of people living and let live, has now reverted society back a few generations and guaranteed that discrimination will live on. (this also applies to race relations) Changing who gets discriminated against doesn't eliminate discrimination, it propagates it.
They should have left the kids alone. Stayed out of the schools and gov't institutions. Forced lawfare through human rights courts certainly does not help, or losing your job because you misgendered someone or morally do not agree with them. Personally , I have had enough of rainbow flags, pride parades and a whole month devoted to this cause. :)
