On February 6, between 5:30 and 5:20 p.m., runners and walkers will create a giant flowing PINK TRIANGLE on the walkways of Queen’s Park to celebrate gay athletes, support LGBTQ global equality and tell Putin, we remember 1936 and we say, NEVER AGAIN.
Wear pink, bring a flashlight or pink glow stick to hold aloft like an Olympic torch to show the true spirit of the Olympics and invite everyone along (this will be a family friendly event: we are inclusive not divisive!) to create PERFORMANCE PROTEST ART: A flowing pink triangle of runners and walkers.
Let’s create a stunning visual message for the world that says Canada celebrates the accomplishments of all athletes, including gay athletes, and we stand up to Putin’s horrific hate mongering.
Please join me and hundreds of walkers and runners in the middle of Queen’s Park by the giant horse, just north of Ontario’s legislative building in Toronto at 5:20 p.m., to get ready for that 5:30 start. In the meantime, please post notice of the event to your facebook time line and send to friends far and wide
On the eve of the 2014 Olympics, Putin is trying to steal the show in his efforts to be the big strong man of the world, and he’s trying to do that by scapegoating people, as Hitler did in 1936.
We must say, no, we will not stand for Putin’s demonization of LGBQT people. We will not stand silently while he hijacks the Olympics for his propaganda. United we run.
