A member of provincial parliament in Ontario was punched in the face while defending 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ youth in Ottawa. Thank you, @JoelHardenONDP, for defending 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 rights. To everyone else: we must #Act4QueerSafety. This hate must be confronted before it gets worse.

And punching people in the face. But I’ll take a punch for queer and trans youth any day.

We stand beside @egalecanada and 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Alberta. We will fight this attack on trans students. We will stand up - loudly and proudly - for inclusive schools and evidence-based healthcare.

A young trans person at a #RainbowEquality letter writing event penned a letter to @PierrePoilievre asking him to support trans kids like them and reject transphobia. Retweet if you agree.

Far right groups and opportunistic politicians are weaponizing fear and misinformation about the queer community to sow division. But together, we can choose #FactsOverFear in our children's education: factsoverfear.ca

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is punching down on transgender women. Misogyny and transphobia aren’t a good luck for a man who wants to be prime minister. Sign our petition urging Poilievre to REJECT anti-trans hate and retract his comments: momentumcanada.net/poilievre

Today, we’re launching an e-petition alongside the @CCGSD_CCDGS calling on the Government of Canada to act for #TransEqualityNow. Why? Because we need federal leadership to deliver trans equality in practice, not just on paper. Sign and share: transequalitynow.ca

All students deserve the freedom to be their authentic selves at school. As cynical politicians weaponize a lack of familiarity with trans people to sow division, we’re choosing #FactsOverFear in our children’s education. Join us, take the pledge: factsoverfear.ca

“We can build a country that is more free, equal and socially just. But we cannot do it when governments ignore our rights and freedoms, dabble in conspiracy and pick on our most vulnerable young people” - @queermomentum Executive Director @FaeJohnstone ctvnews.ca/video/c2858773…
