Pride may still face objections to funding June council meeting. Councillors opposing ‘Israeli apartheid’ group hope to withhold cash
Council’s economic development committee rapidly approved the city’s $123,807 grant to Pride Toronto on Tuesday. There were no speeches, questions or debates about Mideast politics. But it became clear immediately after the committee met that the June meeting of the whole council will be far more contentious.

Coun. Josh Colle, a key centrist swing voter, told reporters the city should not fund the 10-day gay and lesbian festival if the activist group Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA) is permitted to march in the July 1 parade. And Coun. James Pasternak said he’s expecting a motion to hold back Pride’s funding until after the festival, subject to certain conditions. This would not be the first time such a motion has been brought forth, and in 2011 city manager Joe Pennachetti said in a report that QuAIA doesn’t violate the city’s anti-discrimination policy. torstar news service
