Ohne Angabe von Gründen: Männerrechtler von Schwulenparade ausgeschlossen

Der Toronto Star berichtet:

A controversial men’s rights group has seen its permit to march in the Pride parade revoked just days before the event after a behind-the-scenes campaign to get them removed.

The Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE), which bills itself as a “men’s issues” organization, learned earlier this week that they would not be allowed to march in Sunday’s parade because some people felt their work went against the values of the 10-day LGBTQ celebration. CAFE marched in the parade last year.

Pride executive director Kevin Beaulieu was vague on Friday about the reasons for CAFE’s exclusion.

"There has been some concern expressed about the activities and purpose of CAFE and whether they actually match the intent they express," he said. Asked to be more specific, Beaulieu replied, "I’m really not going to go into that."

Gut, das ist natürlich eine nachvollziehbare Begründung.

Kann es sein, dass diese Zurückweisung vor allem deshalb erfolgt ist, weil eine Teilnahme von Männerrechtlern an dieser und anderen Paraden es einigen feministischen Strippenzieherinnen unmöglich machen würde, die Männerrechtsbewegung weiterhin als "homophob" zu verleumden?
