(Jane Robertson/CBC)Manitobans will take to the streets of a rural town's first Pride parade Saturday, and while there's cause for celebration, organizers and some community members are also calling out a local pastor for spreading anti-2SLGBTQ views. Pembina Valley Pride published a social media post on Friday encouraging people from the 2SLGBTQ community to take care of themselves, ignore protesters and "celebrate you" ahead of Altona's first Pride parade on Saturday. It came on the heels of a blog post by Grace Covenant Church lead pastor Riley Toews, espousing views condemning the celebration.
