We have been hated before. We have been targeted before. We have been here before. We won then. We will win now. If the far right and their friends in public office want to start a culture war on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, we will rise to the challenge. And we will win. #NewProfilePic

Six days left and the Conservatives still haven't said how they'll pay for their promises. There's only one answer: slash health care, education and the services we rely on. #bcpoli #bcelxn

If the BC Conservatives form government, we can expect a third province to restrict the charter-protected rights of trans people. We can't let that happen. Make a plan to vote. Knock on doors for and donate to candidates you believe in. We can't phone this one in.

We still remember and mourn for the violence and discrimination inflicted on LGBTQ+ people around the world. 💔

28 years ago today, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay college student, died after being brutally beaten and left tied to a fence in Wyoming. His murder became a defining moment in the fight against anti-LGBTQ+ violence and helped inspire federal hate crime legislation in 2009.

The discriminatory bill must be repealed. Stop using the notwithstanding clause to override human rights. This is not a Canadian value.

I met with @StJohnsPrideNL, Black Pride Canada and Fierté Canada Pride this week. Groups like these are often the first place 2SLGBTQI+ people turn for support, especially in smaller and rural communities.

Just a couple weeks after Turkey raided and arrested LGBTQ activists, PM Carney is headed for a visit 🤡 Canada didn't condemn Turkey's actions. Carney hasn't spoken about it. We deserve a PM with the political courage to speak up for queer people and human rights.
