Fierté Montréal parade takes over downtown following week of celebrations
Wild Pride organizers said the separate march was meant to oppose corporate sponsorship, police presence and colonialism after Montreal Pride drew thousands.
- On Sunday, Fierté Montréal held its 20th annual Pride parade, with thousands marching through the Village to celebrate two decades of community visibility and LGBTQ+ history in Montreal.
- Marc Venne, 72, attended the very first Montreal Pride parade 20 years ago and has returned annually to witness the event's evolution since its inception in the city.
- Celebrating with family, Geneviève Gagnon marched alongside her daughter, Florence, while attendee Lady Sunshine emphasized community unity: "There's always going to be tension, but we have to celebrate between us."
- Following a deadly attack at Berlin Pride last month, organizers beefed up security for the event, while thousands later marched in Wild Pride through Plateau Mont-Royal to protest corporate sponsorship.
- Activist Jonathan Grenier noted the festival no longer reflects his values, as participants raised concerns about rising homophobia and argued Pride must prioritize fighting for rights over corporate celebration.
