International Day Against Transphobia, Homophobia, & Biphobia
CUPE 4207’s Pink Triangle Committee is committed to addressing the persistent discrimination, violence, and marginalization faced by 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons worldwide.
With hate crimes and rates of violence towards the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community surging daily, it is time to:
STOP THE HATE!
We call upon our allies to stand together with us and help us resist homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia, to offer us support, and to help us heal from the trauma of hatred imposed upon us daily.
RESIST – SUPPORT – HEAL
