As Pride Month comes to a close, and having been appointed the first-ever 2SLGBTQ Shadow Minister in Saskatchewan, I was proud to write to Premier Moe today calling on him to Repeal Bill 137, alongside other important calls to action for our community.
Love is love—and on this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we’ll keep working to build a world where everyone feels safe and free to be themselves.
#MyXAnniversary This website genuinely sucks now and @elonmusk is a terrible person. Private likes will only enable bot engagement. Oh and cis is not a slur, anyone who thinks so is a moron. #TransRights🏳️⚧️
Watched the Remembrance Day ceremony live on @YouTube. About 30 seconds in to the wave of silence - just as they’re showing the somber faces of our country’s leaders and veterans holding back tears - YouTube auto-played extremely loud and obnoxious ads. It felt so disrespectful.
While I read through the list of communities facing healthcare disruptions in rural Saskatchewan last night in the Legislature, Greg Lawrence, Member for Moose Jaw Wakamow could be heard saying “blah, blah, blah”. Check it out at about the 15s mark. 👀

This is by no means a rigorous rundown of all the possible issues with the new AMERICAN GRAFFITI 4K release, but *yikes*.
First: possible the messiest power widow / local adjustment I've seen in a UHD release, in which the Mel's sign has been *very* clumsily adjusted.
Saskatchewan: This is important!

A Saskatchewan mom says when her non-binary teen needed mental health help, it wasn't available. She thinks politicians should be talking about that #skpoli https://t.co/YKmiYSBm5o
I wish I could articulate how it feels to be me in Saskatchewan today.
I am one of the few people who, when she was in grade school, would have benefited so greatly by having an opportunity to learn of the existence of trans and gender diverse people, by having someone to talk to who I knew to be accepting, and by having a safe, inclusive space to, maybe, be myself.
Instead, I experienced...
• Deep closeting
• Deeply repressed memories
• Internalized trans/homophobia
• Masculine overcompensation
• Shame, guilt, and fear
• Irreparable harm
We can come together to do right by all the youth in our province and this can be done without blanket policies/laws which further marginalize already marginalized youth.

Mowing down Charter rights of Saskatchewan children all to score cheap political points.
Sowing division among the people he is entrusted to serve in a desperate attempt to distract from his own multitude of failings.
Scott Moe is a disgrace to Saskatchewan.

Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued.
Dear #LeaveOurKidsAlone parents - you are shitty parents. You want to wall your kid off from the modern world to indoctrinate them w/your archaic prejudices. And if you weren't shitty parents you wouldn't need the school to tell you if your kid is gay or identifies as trans.
