Learning More about Canada's Queer History
Council will be discussing the proposed bylaw to ban conversion therapy on Monday, May 25, 2020.
During last week's committee meeting, 121 members of the public participated remotely, and over 1800 written submissions were sent to City Clerks. Many of these presentations were personal, difficult, and we appreciated the vulnerability it took to share them with us. Thank you for your incredible strength and bravery.
We also realized that centuries of shame, stigma, and discrimination have kept us from learning more about the history of Canada’s queer community and all they’ve done to make our lives safer and more inclusive. As such, we’re sharing these creative, educational resources from Day of Pink. If you’re planning to tune in tomorrow, we recommend printing out a copy or sharing it with a friend as a form of education, self-care, or simply a reminder that you are loved, supported, and certainly not alone.
