A Personal Plea: Vic Fedeli's Silence on Hate and Injustice
It's clear that Vic's recent actions of engaging with other organizations might be an attempt to isolate the voice that first raised concerns about the lack of support for the community. This strategy, often employed in politics, aims to divert attention and portray the initial voice as the problem

Funding, oh what a relief... or is it?
It is unfortunate that hate comments were made regarding the funding allocation for North Bay Pride, which aimed to support older individuals belonging to the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Opinion:
What a drag!
'Drag is an art, it's not about a sexual desire. It's not about “recruiting” as some have claimed. How one “recruits” to be part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community is beyond me, because if this theory worked wouldn’t everyone be straight?'
