Le fran\u00e7ais suit<\/em><\/p>\n

Every June, Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride receives numerous inquiries (some pleasant, some not-so-pleasant) asking why we hold Pride in August. We decided to write this post to share why we hold our annual parade and festival in the month of August. <\/p>\n

Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride do not believe that confining events and celebrations intended to celebrate gender and sexual diversity and promote liberation, visibility, representation, and community building to a single month is in the best interest of 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride offers programming for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals year-round, including June.  We have also always been of the mind that the more opportunities to build community and engage with Pride, the better! So instead of having all events condensed into one month, spreading out Pride weeks across the country minimizes overlap and provides additional opportunities to engage or “pride hop” for those that choose to go to more than one festival. We always try to make sure our dates don\u2019t overlap with nearby cities (which means we need more than a month to fit everyone in). Constraining Pride events to one month decreases opportunities for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals to build community by attending multiple events and limits opportunities for 2SLGBTQ+ speakers, performers, musicians, artists, and makers to share their knowledge and talents and make money. Further, many important conversations that arise during Pride are comparatively absent during the remaining eleven months of the year.<\/p>\n

June was designated as Pride month in the United States in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and has only recently become widely recognized as such worldwide, in part due to the increasing corporatization of Pride (more on that later). While June is technically Pride month, Pride events take place at different times in different cities around the world, dependent on a lot of factors. Many of the major cities across Canada (and globally) do not celebrate in June (Toronto is a notable exception). Interestingly, in Canada, the majority of “firsts” actually occurred in August, including the first major protests, marches, events, and the first parade. With regard to events that are considered the Canadian tipping point (our \u201cStonewalls\u201d), there are few that happened in June. Despite the focus on June as Pride month, festivals and parades across Canada are held annually at different times (most between June and September). For example, Pride is traditionally celebrated in July in Halifax and St. John\u2019s, August in Montreal, Ottawa, and Vancouver, late August\/early September in Calgary, and September in Quebec City. Further, while June has been designated as Pride Month, it is important to note that it is also Indigenous History Month, Filipino Heritage Month, Seniors Month, Portuguese Heritage Month, and Italian Heritage Month.<\/p>\n

Historically, Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride\u2019s parade and festival have been held in August. Spring of 2019 marked a period of significant change, including a new board, a new mandate, new policies, and becoming incorporated as a non-profit. The board considered several things in deciding whether or not to hold the festival in August or move it to June or July. The choice to continue holding Pride in August was not made lightly.<\/p>\n

Important factors that relate to this decision include financial capacity, human capacity and availability, and accessibility. Unlike many large cities, that often have a paid staff and significant funding (which enables greater consistency and less dependence on external factors such as weather, venue and volunteer availability, etc.), Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride is fully volunteer-run and has no staff or operational funding. Organizing the festival and parade is a large undertaking, requiring significant commitments of time and capacity. The parade and festival are made possible by a dedicated board of volunteers that contribute immense amounts of time and energy. We have learned we can do a lot more if we hold the festival later in the summer. Financially, the weather is generally more predictable during July and August, meaning less chance of wasting our modest funds (venue, event, performer payments) if we have to reschedule due to rain, which is important when working with a tight budget. July and August also provide greater accessibility for youth and educators as school is “out,” which is important to Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride and aligns with our commitments to education and community building. There are an impressive number of festivals and events that take place on unceded Wolastoqiyik Territory during the summer months. We seek to grow partnerships and build community in this place and holding our festival in August means there is less potential for overlap with other local events and festivals, which creates more opportunities for collaboration as opposed to competition.<\/p>\n

While the current board cannot speak to the decision to hold the parade and festival in August in past years, in community consultations, there has been minimal desire to change to the month of June and greater availability in July\/August. We remain open to reconsidering as Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton Pride seeks to be responsive to 2SLGBTQ+ communities and is entirely 2SLGBTQ+ led. We will ensure to continue to raise this question at our AGM and always welcome feedback and suggestions!<\/p>\n

A Note on Corporatization<\/em>: The focus on June as Pride month has continued to increase in connection with the increase of rainbow capitalism and pinkwashing\/rainbow washing. June has become a convenient, pre-set period of time for some businesses to engage in performative allyship (often accompanied by profit) despite failing to show up for marginalized populations for the remainder of the year. We wish to stress that this observation is not true of all companies or corporations \u2013 there are folx doing great work, donating to grassroots organizations, and taking an active role in advocating for 2SLGBTQ+ populations and we are grateful for these individuals. We will be holding an educational session on this topic during Pride 2022 – stay tuned!<\/p>\n

Pourquoi nous organisons la Fiert\u00e9 en ao\u00fbt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chaque ann\u00e9e, en juin, Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton re\u00e7oit de nombreuses demandes (certaines agr\u00e9ables, d’autres moins) demandant pourquoi nous organisons la Fiert\u00e9 en ao\u00fbt. Nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d’\u00e9crire ce billet pour expliquer pourquoi nous organisons notre d\u00e9fil\u00e9 et notre festival annuel au mois d’ao\u00fbt.<\/p>\n

Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton ne croit pas qu’il soit dans le meilleur int\u00e9r\u00eat des communaut\u00e9s 2SLGBTQ+ de limiter \u00e0 un seul mois les \u00e9v\u00e9nements et les c\u00e9l\u00e9brations destin\u00e9s \u00e0 c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la diversit\u00e9 sexuelle et de genre et \u00e0 promouvoir la lib\u00e9ration, la visibilit\u00e9, la repr\u00e9sentation et le d\u00e9veloppement de la communaut\u00e9. La Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton offre une programmation pour les personnes 2SLGBTQ+ tout au long de l’ann\u00e9e, y compris en juin. Nous avons toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 d’avis que plus il y a d’occasions de b\u00e2tir une communaut\u00e9 et de s’engager dans la Fiert\u00e9, mieux c’est! Ainsi, au lieu de condenser tous les \u00e9v\u00e9nements en un seul mois, nous r\u00e9partissons les semaines de la Fiert\u00e9 \u00e0 travers le pays, ce qui minimise les chevauchements et offre des occasions suppl\u00e9mentaires de s’engager pour ceux qui choisissent d’aller \u00e0 plus d’un festival. Nous essayons toujours de faire en sorte que nos dates ne se chevauchent pas avec celles des villes voisines (ce qui signifie que nous avons besoin de plus d’un mois pour accueillir tout le monde). Le fait de limiter les \u00e9v\u00e9nements de la Fiert\u00e9 \u00e0 un mois r\u00e9duit les possibilit\u00e9s pour les personnes 2SLGBTQ+ de construire une communaut\u00e9 en assistant \u00e0 plusieurs \u00e9v\u00e9nements et limite les possibilit\u00e9s pour les conf\u00e9renciers, artistes, musiciens et fabricants 2SLGBTQ+ de partager leurs connaissances et leurs talents et de gagner de l’argent. En outre, de nombreuses conversations importantes qui ont lieu pendant la Pride sont comparativement absentes pendant les onze autres mois de l’ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Le mois de juin a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9sign\u00e9 comme le mois des fiert\u00e9s aux \u00c9tats-Unis en comm\u00e9moration des \u00e9meutes de Stonewall de 1969 et n’a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu comme tel que r\u00e9cemment dans le monde entier, en partie \u00e0 cause de la corporatisation croissante des fiert\u00e9s (nous y reviendrons). Bien que juin soit techniquement le mois de la fiert\u00e9, les \u00e9v\u00e9nements de la fiert\u00e9 ont lieu \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents moments dans diff\u00e9rentes villes du monde, en fonction de nombreux facteurs. Bon nombre des grandes villes du Canada (et du monde entier) ne c\u00e9l\u00e8brent pas la Fiert\u00e9 en juin (Toronto est une exception notable). Il est int\u00e9ressant de noter qu’au Canada, la majorit\u00e9 des “premi\u00e8res” ont eu lieu en ao\u00fbt, notamment les premi\u00e8res grandes manifestations, marches, \u00e9v\u00e9nements et le premier d\u00e9fil\u00e9. En ce qui concerne les \u00e9v\u00e9nements qui sont consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme le point de bascule canadien (nos “Stonewall”), peu d’entre eux ont eu lieu en juin. Malgr\u00e9 l’accent mis sur le mois de juin comme mois de la fiert\u00e9, les festivals et les d\u00e9fil\u00e9s au Canada ont lieu chaque ann\u00e9e \u00e0 des moments diff\u00e9rents (la plupart entre juin et septembre). Par exemple, la Fiert\u00e9 est traditionnellement c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e en juillet \u00e0 Halifax et \u00e0 St. John’s, en ao\u00fbt \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, Ottawa et Vancouver, fin ao\u00fbt\/d\u00e9but septembre \u00e0 Calgary et en septembre \u00e0 Qu\u00e9bec. De plus, bien que juin ait \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9sign\u00e9 comme le Mois de la fiert\u00e9, il est important de noter que c’est \u00e9galement le Mois de l’histoire des Autochtones, le Mois du patrimoine philippin, le Mois des a\u00een\u00e9s, le Mois du patrimoine portugais et le Mois du patrimoine italien.<\/p>\n

Historiquement, le d\u00e9fil\u00e9 et le festival de Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton ont eu lieu en ao\u00fbt. Le printemps 2019 a marqu\u00e9 une p\u00e9riode de changements importants, notamment un nouveau conseil d’administration, un nouveau mandat, de nouvelles politiques et la constitution en soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 but non lucratif. Le conseil a pris en compte plusieurs \u00e9l\u00e9ments pour d\u00e9cider de tenir le festival en ao\u00fbt ou de le d\u00e9placer en juin ou juillet. Le choix de continuer \u00e0 tenir la Fiert\u00e9 en ao\u00fbt n’a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 fait \u00e0 la l\u00e9g\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Les facteurs importants li\u00e9s \u00e0 cette d\u00e9cision sont la capacit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re, la capacit\u00e9 et la disponibilit\u00e9 des ressources humaines et l’accessibilit\u00e9. Contrairement \u00e0 de nombreuses grandes villes qui disposent souvent d’un personnel r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9 et d’un financement important (ce qui permet une plus grande constance et une moindre d\u00e9pendance \u00e0 l’\u00e9gard de facteurs externes comme la m\u00e9t\u00e9o, la disponibilit\u00e9 des lieux et des b\u00e9n\u00e9voles, etc. L’organisation du festival et du d\u00e9fil\u00e9 est une entreprise de grande envergure qui exige un engagement important en termes de temps et de capacit\u00e9. Le d\u00e9fil\u00e9 et le festival sont rendus possibles gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un conseil de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles d\u00e9vou\u00e9s qui consacrent \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de temps et d’\u00e9nergie. Nous avons appris que nous pouvons faire beaucoup plus si nous organisons le festival plus tard dans l’\u00e9t\u00e9. Sur le plan financier, le temps est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement plus pr\u00e9visible en juillet et en ao\u00fbt, ce qui signifie que nous risquons moins de gaspiller nos modestes fonds (paiement du lieu, de l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement et de l’artiste) si nous devons reporter l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement en raison de la pluie, ce qui est important lorsque l’on travaille avec un budget serr\u00e9. Les mois de juillet et d’ao\u00fbt sont \u00e9galement plus accessibles aux jeunes et aux \u00e9ducateurs, car l’\u00e9cole est ferm\u00e9e, ce qui est important pour Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton et correspond \u00e0 nos engagements envers l’\u00e9ducation et le d\u00e9veloppement communautaire. Il y a un nombre impressionnant de festivals et d’\u00e9v\u00e9nements qui ont lieu sur le territoire non c\u00e9d\u00e9 de Wolastoqiyik pendant les mois d’\u00e9t\u00e9. Nous cherchons \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper des partenariats et \u00e0 construire une communaut\u00e9 dans cet endroit et le fait de tenir notre festival en ao\u00fbt signifie qu’il y a moins de risque de chevauchement avec d’autres \u00e9v\u00e9nements et festivals locaux, ce qui cr\u00e9e plus d’opportunit\u00e9s de collaboration que de comp\u00e9tition.<\/p>\n

Bien que le conseil d’administration actuel ne puisse pas se prononcer sur la d\u00e9cision de tenir le d\u00e9fil\u00e9 et le festival en ao\u00fbt dans les ann\u00e9es pass\u00e9es, lors des consultations communautaires, il y a eu peu de d\u00e9sir de changer pour le mois de juin et une plus grande disponibilit\u00e9 en juillet\/ao\u00fbt. Nous sommes pr\u00eats \u00e0 reconsid\u00e9rer la question, car la Fiert\u00e9 Fredericton cherche \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des communaut\u00e9s 2SLGBTQ+ et est enti\u00e8rement dirig\u00e9e par des 2SLGBTQ+. Nous nous assurerons de continuer \u00e0 soulever cette question \u00e0 notre AGA et nous sommes toujours heureux de recevoir des commentaires et des suggestions !<\/p>\n

Une note sur la corporatisation:<\/em> L’accent mis sur le mois de juin comme mois de la fiert\u00e9 n’a cess\u00e9 de cro\u00eetre en lien avec l’augmentation du capitalisme arc-en-ciel et du pinkwashing\/rainbow washing. Le mois de juin est devenu une p\u00e9riode pr\u00e9\u00e9tablie et commode pour certaines entreprises qui s’engagent dans l’altruisme performatif (souvent accompagn\u00e9 de profits), m\u00eame si elles ne se montrent pas \u00e0 la hauteur des populations marginalis\u00e9es le reste de l’ann\u00e9e. Nous tenons \u00e0 souligner que cette observation ne s’applique pas \u00e0 toutes les entreprises ou soci\u00e9t\u00e9s – il y a des gens qui font un travail formidable, qui font des dons \u00e0 des organisations de base et qui jouent un r\u00f4le actif dans la d\u00e9fense des populations 2SLGBTQ+ et nous leur en sommes reconnaissants. Nous organiserons une session \u00e9ducative sur ce sujet pendant la Pride 2022 – restez \u00e0 l’\u00e9coute!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
