"I'm going to yell at my prime minister, because I want HIV decriminalized, because I think the MSM ban on blood donors is unscientific and homophobic, and because he boat-sized [inflated] the issue of police violence against queers at the Toronto Pride [Parade]," said Carlisle.

"There are a million reasons why he's being terribly disappointing on all of the queer issues," he added.

Others tweeted photos of Trudeau giving high fives and marching with his family. Today, we finally talk about Canada’s role in the systemic oppression, criminalization, and violence against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirit communities.

And it is my hope that in talking about these injustices, vowing to never repeat them, and acting to right these wrongs, we can begin to heal…

Oh, Justin, you really are something else, aren't you?

Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau beams in Toronto’s Pride parade

If you needed another reason to love Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, which we highly doubt, because he's pretty great on most things, then here one is.

On Sunday, Mr Trudeau retweeted a message from minister of tourism Mélanie Joly on Twitter, saying:
In our country everyone can be proud of who they are and can be who they want to be. That's why Pride now is so important because it shows togetherness," said Alex.
Her friend, who chose to identify himself only as Todd P., expressed what Pride meant to him.
"Being here, supporting, loving, remembering, being who you are," said Todd.

The parade, which ran from Church and Bloor Street down to Dondas Square Stage and is one of the largest pride parades in north America, was packed with performances, vibrant floats and thousands of marchers.
