✨This June, we celebrate #PrideMonth and support the 2SLGBTQ+ community within our schools. Our commitment to well-being, inclusion, and fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and respected ensures our schools are safe for all to learn.🌈 #ocsbBeCommunity

As we begin Catholic Education Week, let us remember the words of Pope Francis: "Education is an act of love; it is like giving life." We know Catholic education has the power to transform lives and build a better world for all, including the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. #ocsbQEN

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

I want to be very clear about this: 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians – in Alberta and across the country – deserve to be treated with respect, and they should be able to be who they are and love whom they love without fear.

To the members of Edmonton’s 2SLGBTQI+ community, who we heard from yesterday afternoon: Thank you for speaking so candidly about your fears, your concerns, and your ideas. We are here for you, and we’ll always work with you to build a better future.

Matthew Shepard’s killers tried to silence queer folks, but they made us louder than ever... #MatthewShepard #LGBTQ

Ms. Hollick was chosen by our 7-8 GSA & Ms. Marques-Pereira was chosen by our HS GSA to be Allies of the Week! Thank you for being such fierce advocates for your 2SLGBTQ students! ❤️ @MsHollick @LBPearsonOCSB

[Safe Space @LBP_GSA]

give voice to it, let it lead to righteous action, then release your anger. But do not let it compromise you, because this month is Pride Month! And this month, we use Love as our sword - to weild more just laws, to right wrongs, & to create a more welcoming, and loving world” ❤️

Some respond with sadness, others with empathy (because it's true, hurt people, hurt people), and many with anger. It is more than okay to feel anger at those that attack our being, whether through microaggressions, physical attacks, or slander and ridicule. Feel your anger…
