16. 1 Million March 4 Children
Let's be perfectly Queer Podcast
10/19/23 • 40 min
Today, we're shining a spotlight on a somber and disheartening event that recently took place in Canada - the 1 Million March for Children. The wonderful Jaymze from Canada suggested we discuss it, and boy, does it deserve our attention. It's disheartening to see Canada, a country that has always been known for its progressive values, take a step back in promoting hate and misinformation within the LGBTQIA community. It's incredibly frustrating to witness the rise in LGBTQIA discrimination, fueled by misinformation and a resistance to change.
But here's the thing, my friends. LGBTQIA+ rights don't take away from anyone else's rights. It's about equality and understanding, not a zero-sum game. By denying someone else their rights, we only create a worse future with more discrimination and impaired education. Education is the foundation for progress, and we must ensure that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, has the opportunity to learn and thrive.
So, join us now as we delve deep into these pressing topics and discuss the need for inclusive discussions and education on discrimination. It's time to shed light on the importance of acceptance, understanding, and building a safe environment for LGBTQIA individuals.
Don't miss out on this eye-opening episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer. Tap play now and let's dive in together.
