Elect Women, Oust Bigots! Very cool to have met Premier Susan Holt of New Brunswick today.

Shared my gratitude for her support of trans youth and their families, and spoke with her team about opportunities for further action and leadership on 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ issues!

The Manitoba legislature has passed Bill 43, adding gender expression to the provincial human rights code.

In this doom and gloom climate, it's important to mark victories like this, to remember that despite the rise of the far right, we can still organize and win for 🏳️‍🌈 people.

The Canadian Medical Association has filed a legal challenge against the Government of Alberta to protect the rights of patients and uphold the integrity of our healthcare system.

Parents, youth and physicians know best - not power hungry politicians.

How do we (queer advocates and organizations) adapt to a new government and a (painfully) tumultuous landscape?

Come hang out with me and my pals on Tuesday at 5:30 as we share our take and our tips!

Now is the time. Queer and trans people are looking to the Government of Canada for bold leadership. Will they step up in our time of need?

We will organize to ensure they do. Because freedom is for everyone, and hate hurts all our families.

The girls and gays got our minister back! Congratulations, @rechievaldez.bsky.social!

I look forward to working with you to advance equality, freedom and human rights for women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people.

Take note: this didn't just happen. Our collective advocacy MADE it happen 🔥

Mentally I'm here.

Physically I am also here.

We saw a decline in queer representation in the recent election. Fewer 🏳️‍🌈 candidates on the ballot, and fewer elected to parliament.

That makes a Minister of Women, Gender Equality and 🏳️‍🌈 Communities all the more critical.

This election, 2SLGBTQIA+ people and allies came together to do something incredible - a united, nation-wide queer election campaign on an historic scale.

I am so proud of what we achieved. We emerge from this election stronger than ever, ready to face the challenges ahead.

This election is our chance to decide what kind of future we want. One where freedom is for everyone, where we lift each other up and build a better country together - or one where we turn on our neighbours?

"No one gets between my kid and their future"

In this climate of rising hate, some politicians want to turn people into problems, but that's not the Canadian way.

Let's build a Canada where every kid can grow up in a happy, healthy and safe community. rainbowequality.ca

Honoured to share I've been selected by Pride Toronto as a Trans Ambassador for their 2025 festivities, one of the honoured positions recognizing 2SLGBTQIA+ leaders and changemakers.

I look forward to attending and celebrating in Toronto this June!

Anti-🏳️‍🌈 groups are organizing to roll back our rights. In their vision for our future, queerness doesn't exist.

🚨 That's why we're taking action. Because the next generation deserves to grow up in a better world than we did.
