Toronto to American Homosexuals: "We're as Gay as it Gets"

TORONTO, Ontario, June 18, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Toronto's tourism board has launched a new campaign to attract big-spending homosexual American tourists. The catch-phrase of the newest effort to paint Toronto as the place to go for homosexuals is: "Toronto: As gay as it gets."

According to Tourism Toronto, which has been working with Gay Marketing Advisory Group to develop the new initiative, the intention is to show that Toronto is more than simply accepting of, or friendly towards homosexuals.

Homosexual activist Councillor Kyle Rae, who is playing a central role to the new strategy, said, "The tag line 'Toronto: As gay as it gets' comes out of people talking about their cities as being gay-friendly. Toronto's not gay-friendly -- it's gay," Rae said.

"This is where the fight for the equality of rights started."

"There's an awful lot of research to back up that gay and lesbian travellers are lucrative to any destination that has the benefit of receiving visitation - staying longer, travelling often, spending more," said Tourism Toronto president and CEO David Whitaker, according to the Globe and Mail.

The billboard and print ad campaign will target some of the United States' most liberal cities, including San Francisco, Los Angles, New York and Chicago.

Toronto Tourism already has an entire section of its website dedicated to homosexual tourism, highlighting some of the homosexual friendly attractions, including Toronto Islands' Hanlon Point's "clothing-optional" beach.

The announcement of the new advertising effort comes as thousands of homosexual men and women and pro-homosexual activists converge on Toronto for the annual Gay Pride week. In the past Toronto's massive parade has been condemned by pro-family advocates for its widespread violation of public decency laws, with numerous instances of full, public nudity and other lewd acts.

Well, at least we know where NOT TO GO on vacation!

"Toronto: As gay as it gets."

Well, isn't that just...nice?

We can only hope for a mass exodus.

Our queers can join up with the cowards that also ran off to Canada.

Think of the Loon jokes, then.

[cripplecreek]

I’ve got a friend in Toronto who’s escaping to Windsor with her daughter. Eventually she’s going to immigrate here to the states.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

So there are different levels of perversion?

Does this mean that Toronto's perversion is more perverse than America's perversion?

[E-Mat]

“Families Not Welcome”

Oh yes, my family could use a list of these cities to avoid.

Welcome to Canada

Hey, that’s great. I know a left-wing woman whose gay son moved to Canada. Her drug-dealing daughter stayed here, however.

Toronto to American Homosexuals: "We're as Gay as it Gets"

spald to Toronto Homos: "Canada lost $5B in American tourist dollars last year. Please let the door hit me on the way out, you hosers."

[BluH2o]

Toronto is an Indian word meaning ‘in your butt’.

[gidget7]

Sodom and Gomorrah and Toronto and San Francisco and Boston and Northampton and P-town and Key West. The list gets longer.

There, fixed it!

Thank you for making carbonated soda go up my sinuses.

[Greg F]

All I can hear is the South Park theme song playing in the background. Is this a real story? Or is it a farce?

[Stultis]

"We're as Gay as it Gets"

So I guess they don't get Anderson Cooper up there?

[Jaysun]

I hope they haven’t started a “who’s more gay” war. That’s all we need. But I don’t know how one becomes more gay than gay. I mean, once you’re willing to prod around in feces you’ve pretty much reached bottom - they could move on to animals, I suppose.

[wagglebee]

This is for real.

[fanfan]

Canada ping.

Please send me a FReepmail to get on or off this Canada ping list.

Juxtaposed with this.....

The Support Our Troops ribbon on Toronto Fire vehicles, which were paid for by firefighters, are to be removed in September. by order of Toronto City Council.

[NRA1995]

Good, let ‘em go there and keep away from Disney World!

[wagglebee]

Disgusting!

[Whitebread]

Bluejays suck! ;-o

[fanfan]

I know.

[RBroadfoot]

Oh, Canada.

[Alouette]

Well, I already made plans to go to Toronto for the weekend. What can I do that no queers can ever do?

Oh, I know. Visit my grandkids.

[wagglebee]

Get ready, someday they might try to impose a tax on non-homosexual visitors.

[b_sharp]

Damn, don't want to go up there, the kids might accidentally touch one of them buggers and become all faggy. Or even worse, fagness might be in the air and we'll all become homos - now wouldn't that be a bitch.

Or one of them pervs might just grab one of the kids, or worse the spouse, and drag them off to their cave of perversion.

You are aware I trust that just having a homo look at you with their gay eye can turn you to the dark side. Next thing you know you aren't just lusting after someone of the same sex as you, but lusting for wild goats too.

Nope, I ain't goin' nowhere where there might be people different than me, I don't wanna be changed by their proximity, or smell, or evil eye, noway, nohow.

[Alouette]

someday they might try to impose a tax on non-homosexual visitors.

I'll say I'm a female homo, and my partner is a male lesbian.

[wagglebee]

LOL!

[darkangel82]

Wtf are you talking about?

[wagglebee]

Huh?

[doc1019]

That civic pride thing is so heart warming … gets me every time. LOL!

[over3Owithabrain]

I think in trying to be clever you came off sounding foolish.

[sionnsar]

Well, at least we know where NOT TO GO on vacation!

Didn't seem gay when I was there. But it's been a few years and.. well.. they know themselves better than I. So I'm not going back.

[b_sharp]

My point is that just being in a city which claims to be gay-friendly is not about to corrupt you or your kids and making silly statements about avoiding an entire city based on some minor official decree is more than a little foolish.

You could spend weeks enjoying the sights and sounds of a new city and a different culture without ever coming into contact with anything which would change your life or your world view.

Get a grip.

[Greg F]

Now is all of Canada “As Gay as it Gets?” Or just Toronto?
: P

This coming from someone who posted the following on an anti-FReeper site:
When you feel conflicted about which site to visit, just remember where many of your favorite posters now post.

Meltdown at FR

[secret garden]

I’m sensing some bitterness over there.

[Fawn]

Toronto is gay? No wonder it’s always so clean up there......

[chilepepper]

sounds like the guys in Toronto bend over backwards to make poofter tourists feel at “home”.

[kilohertz]

I would be so embarrassed if I were a Canadian ...

[kilohertz]

heh heh, he said “bend over”.

One more reason to stay on my own side of the border.

When I went to school in Toronto (I live about half an hour outside), it was one street up from the absolute centre of gay in Toronto. I did not always feel safe walking around. Also, many of the students their were apparently influenced by their surroundings, which was sad in a Catholic school, although nothing was ever said by the teachers.

Toronto is not a great city, and this is just making it worse.

“Toronto to American Homosexuals: “We’re as Gay as it Gets”

Let the mass immigration begin. Illegals to the south, gays to the north (here I am stuck in the middle with you) and we can have the beautiful city of San Fransisco back.

After it is thoroughly disinfected of course.
