June is a time to celebrate progress, acceptance, and our courage as a community. At this pivotal moment in history, @PressSec's powerful message couldn't be more important for our LGBTQ+ community to hear. Stay strong and spread love!

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed news of freedom reaching the enslaved people of Galveston, Texas. Let’s keep building on the work of the generations who came before us and making sure that the arc of the moral universe continues to bend towards justice.

This month, you'll probably see a lot of different flags as people celebrate Pride Month - but do you know what they all mean? Check out our guide which breaks down many of the flags along with the history of the rainbow Pride flag first flown in 1978. bit.ly/4bcrhHc

β€œThe American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a fringe anti-LGBTQ hate group that masquerades as the premier U.S. association of pediatricians to push anti-LGBTQ junk science, primarily via far-right conservative media…” splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

This is exactly what deliberate disinformation looks like. This is a hate group pretending to be a recognized medical association. You can even notice the fake medical lab coats. Amazing how many media journalists have fallen for this and clearly shown their anti-LGBTQ bias.
The American College of Pediatricians just put out a πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids. They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex." The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️ "Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Β Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.Β  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.” They link to MANY studies on their site: doctorsprotectingchildren.or…

For every kid who can’t have a flag at their school β€” and every 2SLGBTQI+ person who’s been made to feel anything but pride in who you are: This flag flies for you.

Attention allies: When human rights are at risk, you don’t back down. You double down your commitment. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ
For generations, LGBTQI+ Americans have summoned the courage to live proudly – even when it meant putting their lives at risk. This Pride Month, we recommit to realizing the promise of America for all, to celebrating LGBTQI+ people, and to taking pride in the example they set.

Doctors won’t participate in policy consultations that lack public transparency and accountability. Smith must rescind her discriminatory policy proposals. #ableg #abpoli

β€œWe will prevail. We are on the side of right. The side of good. The side of justice. And that’s what matters.” #TransDayOfVisability #abpoli #ableg
I was given a chance to speak tonight at tonight's Transgender Day of Visibility event. Some of those remarks are in this video. In this place, on this land, we believe every single person has worth. You deserve to be seen, you deserve to be visible, and I'm so happy you're here.

Great to see this motion passed today! The Mayor and City Councillors took an important step in denouncing hate and creating meaningful supports and connections for the 2SLGBTQ+ communities in Edmonton. Our city should be safe and inclusive for everyone. #yeg #yegcc
