Cowichan Pride

COWICHAN PRIDE is an unofficial social group of gender and sexual minorities and their allies in the Cowichan Valley.

Queer and trans activists fear that a surge of proposed drag bans could criminalize trans people in public life. We’ve been here before, says @krheyam—and it’s never been about protecting the children.

This one-hour virtual event aims to harness the power of story to ignite conversations around the spectrum of grief and to help educate, challenge stigma and spotlight the supports that are available for young people. We'll be live at 7PM EST! https://t.co/GCrrxyGGXP

Pls vote for my local #Cowichan Duncan Train Station. In the lead, barely. My community has particularly difficult social justice issues like homelessness, drug abuse, poverty; indigenous (RIP my fellow environmentalist, Shawna), LGBT & disability trauma.

Sending our love & rage to two-spirit, trans & non-binary folks who are seeing family who are unsupportive or who will experience discrimination & harm during the holidays. You are lovable. You are beautiful. Your chosen family is valid. #trans #twospirit #nonbinary #ChosenFamily

In Texas, parents of trans kids are facing harmful accusations of abuse from Republican politicians. Texas mom @mrsbriggle is fighting back by taking Gov. Greg Abbott to court. @WordsWithCam reports:

“If it’s hard to love your kids, you’re doing it wrong,” says @mrsbriggle, a Texas mother currently suing Gov. Greg Abbott for hateful policies toward families with trans children. @WordsWithCam reports:

Another Chrystia Freeland comment and another complete dismissal of non-women victims. Disgraceful!

"“...I think the reality is, there is a systemic problem with the treatment of women, the treatment of sexual harassment...” Freeland said..."

Veterans who endured sexual misconduct need a government apology. See our statement: https://t.co/47KjtxyVJo #CDNpoli

On my watch we will approach the transformation of our culture with openness, humility, compassion, and a determination to learn and improve. We must seek to improve our institution every day.

Words are one thing, actions are another. #LGBTQ veterans still need unfettered support. $5k in class action is NOTHING compared to lost salaries & promotions, not to mention injury to dignity & Complex-PTSD, on top of PTSD from war in Afghanistan.
I’m waiting, @CDS_Canada_CEMD

#LGBT coin was unveiled today in #Canada. A celebration but equality/equity is still a work in progress.

Reading this made me feel angry, sad + scared. I looked at your twitter feed ⁦@LauraLynnTT⁩ and all I saw was racism + hate. It sure doesn’t seem very Christian to be so unaccepting of others. An anti-SOGI activist? Gross. #bced ⁦@bctf⁩ https://t.co/E826r1HZly
