This past Sunday, the Toronto Pride parade brought together a lot of people to celebrate a positive message. No matter what event is taking place, though, there are always going to be those who want to send a different point of view. Perhaps that is why “gay pothead zombies” invaded the parade dressed in green bodysuits to hand out fake condoms.
Yes, that really happened.

Yes, as reported by Lifesite News , those at the Toronto Gay Pride parade thought they were getting free condoms and some helpful sex tips. They should have realized something was up when Gay Zombies Cannabis Consumers Association was the group trying to do that.
Instead, they were getting fake condoms and info packets that told of the “physical and spiritual dangers of homosexual practices” from a group of Christians in disguise.
Bill Whatcott was leading the charge and the group, better known as GZCCA, as they registered for the parade under that named. They figured it would be easier to pass their message along if they were in disguises that included rainbow tutus and rainbow flags worn as capes.
The group had a couple of specific goals in mind, and the first was to be prophetic and unambiguous witnesses against the celebration of homosexuality. As if that wasn’t enough, they had a second reason for coming together, and it was to offer those partaking in homosexuality a way out.
That way out was to repent and turn to Jesus Christ so that they could be saved. Dressing in the costumes and appearing as gay pothead zombies was a move that Whatcott called “a bit creative” since it allowed them to hand out pamphlets to thousands of people instead of just a small few.
“I asked them if they wanted ‘Zombie safe sex.’ Everyone loved it. But, if you try to give out a Gospel pamphlet, they swear at you and throw slushies on your forehead. But, give them some wackadoddle thing that looks like a condom, and they really can’t grab it fast enough. I had three thousand out in 20 minutes.”
Whatcott’s blog, Free North America , has more pictures of the GZCCA handing out the fake condoms and pamphlets. There are also some looks at the pamphlets, but be warned that many of the images could be considered quite graphic.
Many of the images on Whatcott’s pamphlet show some of the diseases that are associated with homosexuality such as AIDS and numerous others. He believes that people who are attracted to the same sex need to know the medical facts about the practices they are partaking in.
“We don’t feel that this message should be closeted and that we should be bullied into silence.”
While they weren’t bullied into silence, Whatcott and his group of pothead gay zombies thought the disguises would be the only way to truly get their message out to those at Toronto Pride.
The gay pride parade entry fee paid by Whatcott was $100.
As reported by CBC News , the Toronto Pride parade was also brought to a halt for about 30 minutes as members of Black Lives Matter marched through the streets. In order for the parade to restart and for the group to move, Pride Toronto executive director Mathieu Chantelois had to sign a document that agreed to their demands.
One of those demands was receiving the “Honoured Group” of the parade, which is the grand finale of Pride Month. Pride Toronto had not been given any sort of prior notice of their planned march against “anti-blackness.”
The Toronto Pride parade is one that was still considered to be very successful on a day that was celebrated without many problems. Sure, Bill Whatcott and his group of gay pothead zombies had a disguised Christian message to hand out, but most of the parade-goers didn’t let that stifle their fun.
