Stephen Amell is speaking out after receiving backlash for posting photos from the 2017 Vancouver Pride Parade and Festival.

“Facebook! What’s happening!” Stephen shared on Facebook on Monday. “So I’m scrolling through my page this morning and I was really taken aback by some of the back and forth commentary after I posted two photos from the Pride Parade / Festivities yesterday in Vancouver.”
“The vast majority were positive, but a laughable amount were negative,” he continued. “I had a fantastic weekend in Vancouver with my wife and friends, met some terrific people and more than anything just tried to soak in all the positive energy from people living their best lives.”
“If I’m in Vancouver next year I won’t just go back, I’ll walk in the parade,” he added. “So for everyone in their negative pants: Go be on the wrong side of history on somebody else’s Facebook page. xo.”

Vancouver Pride takeaways: 1. Hugs are free, 2. Wear clothes you don't mind getting glitter on, 3. Britney Spears is basically currency.

I'm following this guy to the end of the parade and taking his balloon wings. Hopefully he watches Arrow. pic.twitter.com/b9iDtVPjDD
