Pride & Father's Day Today is Father’s Day. For many, it is a day of gratitude. For others, it is a reminder of loss, rejection, or harm. Within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, this day often carries complicated weight. Some of us were cast out by fathers in the name of faith or
Pride & Intersectionality Intersectionality is not just a buzzword or an identity checklist. It is a way of understanding how systems of oppression overlap and reinforce each other. It reminds us that race, class, gender, disability, colonialism, and sexuality do not exist in isolation. They shape each other. And if
Pride Includes Disability Queer disabled voices belong at the centre of our movements, not the margins. Too often, Pride spaces celebrate visibility without considering access, or talk about liberation while replicating ableist systems. Disabled queer and trans people have always been part of our history, our resistance, and our survival.

Long before European contact, many Indigenous nations across Turtle Island honoured diverse roles, genders, and sexualities. The term Two-Spirit reflects a sacred identity held within many Indigenous cultures, one that existed long before Western
Pride Is Sacred Liberation Pride is a deeply spiritual liberative act. It began with people who refused to accept abuse as normal, shame as inevitable, or invisibility as acceptable. In the face of criminalization and exclusion, 2SLGBTQIA+ people gathered anyway—risked arrest, risked being seen, risked telling the truth. That decision
2SLGBTQIA+ Youth Deserve to be Safe 2SLGBTQIA+ youth deserve safety. That means schools where their identities are respected, families where they are not rejected, churches where they are not shamed, and communities where they are not seen as threats but celebrated for who they are.

Trans Lives Are Sacred Trans rights are under attack, across the United States, here in Canada, and around the world. These are not isolated incidents.
