2000, June 16 (Friday) * The Record: Gay community hopes to remedy lack of visibility with Tri-Pride event

Gay community hopes to remedy lack of visibility with Tri-Pride event This article by Kerry Thompson (record staff) was based primarily on interviews with people directly involved in Tri-Pride 2000 — Lyn McGinnis, Scott Schau, Nigel Flear, A.J. Mahari and Rev. Anne Treadwell. The article is headed by a full-colour photograph of A.J. Mahari, Scott Schau, Jim Parrott, Lyn McGinnis, Bob Miller, Diane Kilby and Nigel Flear. In the article, McGinnis identified as bisexual and trans, and spoke of the problems of bigotry and lack of visibility in the area. Scott Schau (Chair of the Regional Pride Committee) spoke about why local celebrations of this nature are necessary. He also indicated the hope of getting a community centre up and running in the next couple of years. [In fact, this dream was not realized for another dozen years, when SPECTRUM was created in 2012.] Nigel Flear emphasized the need for visibility in the area - noting that this would includes things that “a heterosexual wouldn't think twice about. Being able to hold your partner's hand or put your arm around your partner in a movie theatre, for example.” A.J. Mahari pointed out that the proximity to Toronto is a problem because it is relatively easy for local residents to visit Toronto. She also mentioned public harrassment and also the danger of losing one's job in certain areas of employment. The problem of being perscuted by the church was raised. Rev Anne Treadwell (First Unitarian Congregation of Waterloo) indicated that her church opens its door to the rainbow community and even “performs commitment ceremonies for couples whose relationships aren't recognized by the government as being legitimate.” Various people expressed different opinions on acceptance by local politicians. The move of the event to Victoria Park a couple of years earlier was described as much appreciated by the local rainbow community.

2000, June 17 (Saturday) * Tri-Pride 2000: Yours to Discover

According to the message from the Chair of the Planning Committee (Scott N. Schau), the pride celebrations for the 6th annual Tri-Pride celebration, Tri-Pride 2000 - Yours to Discover were expanded to a full weekend of activities.
[source for the date of the celebration in the Park: the front cover of the Tri-Pride 2000 Souvenir Programme & Resource Directory; the Chair's remarks above are from p.1 of the same document.]

"In 2000, the Pride Celebration was again held on Roos Island in Kitchener's Victoria Park. Attendance was estimated to be about the same as 1999. Again there were information tables, a beer garden, BBQ, various entertainment and lots of music."
[source: Pride Guide 2006, May 27th - June 4th, p.29.]

That year, evidently for the first time, an award was given out during the big day of festivities. Jim Parrott was presented with a document reading "Tri-Pride 2000 Certificate of Appreciation awarded to James Parrott for His Outstanding Contributions to the Community. Thank-you from the Regional Pride Committee." This was apparently a forerunner of the community awards that have often been often presented at later Pride celebrations.

[categories: campus groups | UW groups | GLLOW]

2000, September 22 (Friday) * Another argument

A letter from Nigel Flear in which he states that it would be more correct to describe Hendrik van der Breggen as “heterosexist” rather than “homophobic.” Flear goes on to challenge the latter's statements about gay sex. Flear concludes by pointing out that “Most associations which continue to try to change homosexuals are religiously driven” and their efforts do not in fact work.

2000, September 22 (Friday) * A final thought

Yet another satirical letter from Jim Parrott, this time sending up the notion of gay conversion-therapy practices. Parrott begins by mentioning (tongue-in-cheek) how successful ex-gay ministries have been. He goes on to say that he is “going to try to convince GLOW (Gays and Lesbians of Waterloo) that the time is right for the acquisition of one of these ministries” since one of them might suit GLOW's puposes. He goes on to reason that “After a few stylistic improvements and retrained staff, we could provide a wholesome Christian environment in which persons with a heterosexual orientation could make a stress-free transition to a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered orientation.” As a selling point, he indicates that “With so many people these days aspiring to a trendy high-income lifestyle, it's easy to see the benefits of such a program...”
