Gee seems to purposely miss the point - it's not a gay community issue, it's a black community issue, including black Torontonians who are gay.  Black community members find it difficult obviously, to march along side a police force that has long targeted black men. I'm neither black nor gay and while I've attended Pride and support it, it's not rocket science to understand the black community's push on our police force, levering the parade as a tool to make their point. It's smart. It's working. But for the Globe to purposely mis-position this as a gay community issue, is silly and unhelpful and ignores the legitimate complaints that black men are still targeted by our police no matter their economic status.
