There was a rather poignant moment on CP24 Saturday (June 21, 2014) which seemed to set the spectacle of World Pride Week in perspective. A resident of Barbadoes spoke candidly about the very different life lived by LGBT people in the Caribbean. “You still have to be very much under the table,” said the man as he was interviewed in costume and makeup on Church Street. A trip to that busy thoroughfare may or may not be in everyone’s plans but the people who will party there tonight do so in a special place. Many of them will return to places all over the world where they must live their lives in the shadows. You don’t have to celebrate World Pride to understand how much more decent is this place we keep here in Toronto
