Don’t you love it when left-wing wackos attack each other and mess up each other’s deal? That seems to be what happened when a group of LGBT activists clashed with the troublemakers of Black Lives Matter in Toronto.
Toronto police were trying to get their PC on by unveiling a mural celebrating gays, but the BLM folks weren’t pleased regardless.
The story comes from the New York Daily News:
A group of Black Lives Matter activists barged into a Toronto police department ceremony, where cops unveiled a mural honoring the LGBT community as a public apology for a decades-old anti-gay raid.
The protesters, chanting “No pride in police,” said the cop’s gesture was nothing more than a publicity stunt “used to mask the reality of police relations amongst the queer and trans community, black people, indigenous people, sex workers et cetera,” local BLM co-founder Rodney Diverlus, 26, told the Toronto Star.
The mural was meant to celebrate the history of Toronto’s gay community and serve as a reckoning for the 1981 bathhouse raids, which has been called Canada’s Stonewall.
No good deed goes unpunished, eh?
