Who is this lady on the left of the photo? This was taken at the Pride Parade in Toronto this year. Donmust90 (talk) 15:00, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Donmust90Donmust90 (talk) 15:00, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DO you have any evidence this is a person who is famous or a Public figure of some sort? What would lead you to think it is someone a large number of people would recognize? If you can give us some clues as to where, as a person, you recognize her from (is she an actress, musician, politician, etc.) we may be able to help. Identifying one random female Canadian out of a picture is highly unlikely, however, especially if she's not a public figure of some sort. --Jayron32 17:28, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is MNR and Shawn Brant country. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC) [reply]
Contact the organizers of the parade. They're more likely to be able to identify an individual who perhaps is active within the community though not familiar to the public at large. -- Deborahjay (talk) 06:51, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Or try Black Lives Matter Toronto, Black Queer Youth or Blackness Yes. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The image appears to show organisers of the Pride parade signing the BLM petition. Given this person'e costume, and the fact that in other images the BLM members are mostly wearing black T-shirts, I suspect the person being asked about was most likely involved with the Pride rather than with BLM.
