[1] While officially open to all LGBT supporters of conservative parties across Canada, the group was founded in Toronto, Ontario by people associated with the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario who wanted to be represented in the Toronto Pride Parade.

[2] At Toronto's Pride parade in June 2015, in addition to LGBTory members the marching contingent included federal MPs Kellie Leitch and Bernard Trottier,[3] Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown, MPPs Lisa MacLeod and Jack MacLaren[4] and party president Richard Ciano.

[5] At Ottawa's Capital Pride in August, the group was faced with an online petition, signed by approximately 200 members of the city's LGBT community, demanding that the pride committee bar the group from marching.

[6] The petition asserted that "by not distancing themselves from politicians who are actively dismantling our rights," the group was participating in "bad faith";[6] it also claimed that by using the T in the LGBT initialism to stand for "Tory", the group was erasing transgender identities and issues.

[10] On August 27, 2015, the cross-partisan advocacy group ProudPolitics published an open letter on its website endorsing the group's right to participate in LGBT pride events, stating that "we look forward to working with candidates, groups, and parties of all stripes" and that "achieving ‘lived equality’ – our vision at ProudPolitics – means that LGBTIQ+ citizens should be accepted in all parties and in every walk of life.
