Great to meet with Canada in Seattle staff! CG offices across the U.S. now more familiar with barriers that trans/non binary travellers face as well as how cool NL is. Library got a new addition and I made new pals. Looking forward to next time! #AdvocateLife #AlmostFeral ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐บ๐ธ
In Alberta on the 18th to receive a #GGAward in Commemoration of the Persons Case. Sent the premier a letter inviting her to lunch to chat about her proposed legislation. Hope to hear from you soon Danielle Smith. The rights (and lives) of trans kids hang in the balance.
On Oct. 18, they will make history as the first transgender person to receive the Governor General's Award in Commemoration of the Persons Case, a testament to their contributions to human rights and social change, both in Canada and around the world. Pam Parsons - HarbourGracePortdeGrave #GovNL

Please take a moment to read this ๐. Gemma knows whats at stake โ trans lives โ and has clearly articulated the danger of government overreach. I hope Danielle Smith takes them up on their offer for lunch โ I know I'm a better and more educated person for knowing Gemma.
It's #NationalComingOutDay! Shout out to our fearless ED Gemma M. Hickey ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ! Our org offers a safe and inclusive space for young people to be themselves. October is LGBTQ History Month and through the arts, we lift marginalized voices up by sharing their stories.
