Thank you for the apology!
Mr Weinstein I attended the rally last Friday part as an observer, part to protect an organisation that I love and know has the potential to provide a place for all differences of expression. There are always fringe members in every group, as you apologized for in your note. I wonder if that courtesy can be extended to Pride. Prides purpose is much broader then the JDLs and I am sure you now understand that not everyone speaks for the organisation as a whole. Based on my observations of the rally, homophobia runs deep in your organisation, and it was very thinly veiled. I was greeted by a lady in your group " Look at all the pretty homosexuals", considering the reality I should take that as a complement..
