“Happy Pride Month. Pride is a celebration and a protest for equal rights. I want to congratulate Pride Corner in my riding for bringing people together and standing against hate for five years. We must keep fighting for a better future for queer, trans, and two-spirited people.”
“Mr. Speaker, happy Pride Month. This month, we celebrate the joy, courage and resilience of queer, trans and two-spirited communities across Canada. Pride is a celebration, but it is also a protest. It was born from people standing up and demanding dignity, equality and freedom to live openly as themselves. That is why I am especially proud to congratulate Pride Corner in my constituency. For five years, Pride Corner has rejected hate and brought people together in community and joy. To every queer, trans and two-spirited person in this country, they are loved, they belong and they are not alone. Happy Pride Month. Be proud, be loud and let us keep fighting for a better future for all.”
