Greetings,
Sisters and
Brothers, people should not live in fear or be tormented for who they love or
how they express themselves. Our Union and the entire Labour movement has fought
for decades to extend equality protections for our members and every person in
society.
Pride offers a safe space to express gender and sexual
diversity for members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans (GLBT)
communities. It also acts as a political statement, which allows allies to join
their GLBT Brothers and Sisters and take a stand against discrimination and
oppression.
The GLBT umbrella continues to grow in inclusiveness of the
range of diversity of gender and sexual identities. The expansion of inclusion
is one of the reasons Toronto will host World Pride this year. As the first city
in North America to host World Pride, members are encouraged to attend this
global event that is expected to draw over 3 million people.
In Solidarity,
Karen Church,
Ontario Council GLBT Representative
And
Sharon DeSousa,
PSAC Regional Executive Vice-President Ontario
