Jewish groups will hit the streets for the Toronto Pride Parade
Three years ago, when Melissa Green started working at Kulanu Toronto – the city’s largest Jewish LGBTQ social group – she found that there was broad support throughout the mainstream Jewish community for its LGBTQ members.
In the years since, she’s noticed that the broader community has become more actively engaged.
“They’ve became a lot more vocal about LGBT rights,” she said. “It wasn’t very much overwhelmingly talked about, but now I’m seeing a lot more, not just gay Jews, but straight allies coming forth.”
Kulanu and a handful of other Jewish organizations, including Jewish Family and Child Services (JF&CS) and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), will take to the streets for the Toronto Pride Parade on Sunday, June 24. Kulanu will also march in the Trans March and Dyke March on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Green, who is the social media and outreach co-ordinator for Kulanu, said that it’s important for the organization to promote itself within the Jewish community.
