Town Fined $10,000 for Not Celebrating Pride Month

The small town of Emo, Ontario, has been ordered by a human rights court to pay a $10,000 fine to an LGBT activist group.

Why?

Because they failed to officially recognize “Pride Month” way back in June 2020.

Also, they committed the crime of not flying the rainbow flag.

The fine includes $5,000 to be paid out of mayor’s own pocket.

The decision has sparked controversy, with critics calling it an overreach of “human rights” enforcement.

There needs to be a lot of pushback on this.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

‘An Orwellian sounding group if there ever was one believes that LGBT people have the human right to a whole month celebrating their sex lives, and if a tiny town doesn’t agree they have to pay a fine to an LGBT rights group and extort their mayor to pay half.’

A town has been ordered by a “human rights” court to pay an LGBT activist group $10,000, including $5,000 from the mayor’s personal bank account, for not celebrating the alternative lifestyle choices being promoted.

A report at Not the Bee identified the town that offended the LGBT promoters as Emo, Ontario, Canada.

The report explained the LGBT members of Borderland Pride had told the city to proclaim June 2020 as “Pride Month” and fly a rainbow flag for a week.

The town council and mayor did not, however, take up the campaign.

So the organization complained to the Ontario Human Rights Council that members were injured by the town’s lack of cooperation.

Well, that’s a small price compared to how much cities spend on those rainbow flag crosswalks.

Guess how much they cost?

Once city spent over $196,000 to paint those crosswalks! And that was back in 2017. Imagine how much more it is now.
