Since 2022, the Federal 2SLGBTQIA+ Action Plan advanced equality for queer and trans people — but it's set to expire soon. That’s why today, over 120 orgs are calling on the Government of Canada to renew and expand the Action Plan. ✊🏳️‍🌈 Read our full statement at: QueerMomentum.ca/JointStatement

It's Pride month, and Statistics Canada just found support for trans rights in our country is declining. It sucks. It means the right-wing disinformation campaign is winning. So let's talk about what lies you're being told -- and what we can do about it (with help from @faejohnstone.bsky.social):
