Toronto Star: Cohn: Pride has become a victim of its own success

Martin Regg Cohn usually write some good columns.  This time I respectfully disagree with his comments about the Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA).  He seems to imply that QuAIA is an outside group that has infiltrated the Pride Week festivities.  QuAIA ranks low on his "gay-o-meter".  One could state the same about Kulanu--the gay Jewish student group.  While the core group of Kulanu may be gay, its general supporters in the parade diminish the "gayness" of Kulanu by focussing on Israel rather than LGBT pride.  Kulanu's participation in Toronto's Pride parade ranks low on my "gay-o-meter."

Ignorant,insensitive jerk.
Clueless-you know nothing about Jews,Israel,Jewish or Yiddish culture. Yes indeed,you are a bigot. A common internet troll and an anti-semite. Since you show an uncontrolled bias and hatred for Jews and Israel,and it is clear that you are a Nazi.
You might want to listen to the many 78 RPM and LP recordings by Hitler's mistress and favorite pianist,the extreme anti-Jewish bitch,Elly Ney-contemporary of the great German-Jewish pianist Artur Schnabel,playing Beethoven or Schubert.
As you hate Jews,DO NOT LISTEN TO music by Mahler or Mendelssohn or Meyerbeer.
Actors: Mel Gibson-he's a scum of the earth,an anti-semitic bastard,so are you!
Ahmadinejad-another stupid asshole.
Ezra Pound-like you,an anti-semite and a rotten piece of trash.
FUCK YOU!
You are a God Damn hateful piece of shit. I despise all bigots and anti-Jewish Canadian trolls.
It would be my great pleasure to tear your tonsils out!
