NDP statement on Pride Month « Canada’s NDP

June 1, 2024 at 3:30 am  Federal, Politics

Canada’s NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made the following statement:

“Today kicks off Pride celebrations across Canada, and I am proud to stand with and support members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community.

I want to start by thanking all the advocates and organizers who choose love over hate and create Pride events in their communities. Pride month is an important time for people to know that they are accepted for who they are, and that they can rely on the support of their communities.

There has been a disturbing rise in hate towards members of 2SLGBTQI+ community. Conservative politicians are attacking the rights of trans youth to access the gender affirming health care services that they need for their own selfish gain. This is unacceptable.

We renew our pledge to fighting this hate wherever we see it, and to making sure that everyone can live their life openly and without fear.

We continue to call on our government for sustained federal funding towards 2SLGBTQI+ organizations working to create safer and more open communities for Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQI+ identities, and to help reconcile Canada’s harmful history with Two Spirit Indigenous people.

New Democrats are committed to fighting alongside the 2SLGBTQI+ community towards a future without transphobia, biphobia, and homophobia.

Happy Pride!”
