Today in Ottawa is the unveiling of a monument dedicated to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and in particular, to commemorate the victims of the Queer Purge that saw public servants and military members kicked out of their jobs and shunned for being queer. This is why we need to know our history.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
