新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Pride
As we prepare for these events, it鈥檚 important that we acknowledge and celebrate the history of Pride. With the current climate around city-wide pride parades and the effect this has on the most marginalized communities at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, in Halifax, and in Nova Scotia, we recognize that 鈥淧ride鈥 is a positive stance against violence and discrimination towards 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, where individuals promote their self-affirmation, visibility, dignity, and equality. 聽
However, this stance must exist alongside action with and from allied communities, both within and outside of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, to be able to create a truly anti-oppressive society. It is because of this that being proud of who we are is not, and has never been enough, but rather is just one important aspect of creating the society we want.
2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Plus symbolizes the ever-changing and growing identities within these communities, and the idea that individuals鈥 identities can change over time. It also represents any sexual orientations or gender identities not explicitly named in the acronym as is, such as non-binary, pansexual, polyamorous, folks questioning their identities, etc.)
History of Pride parades
Pride鈥檚 roots are tied to police harassment/violence and exclusionary policies. The Pride we know today began as a series of riots and demonstrations against police raids, and eventually the well-documented riot that took place at the Inn in New York City, during the early morning of June 28, 1969.聽
More often than not, were the from the most marginalized in these communities, such as trans women of colour; this marginalization continues within and outside of our 2SLGBTQIA+ communities today. These details are incredibly important to acknowledge as we participate in dialogue around the current political climate; we must acknowledge the voices of those who have not been heard in our current dialogue because of fear and other silencing factors.
新加坡六合彩开奖直播 sits on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi鈥檏maq People. When we participate in celebratory events, educational opportunities, and resource sharing, we must remember the stories of those who came before us, and how their life is impacted by the events we put on. We would like to acknowledge the Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities of Nova Scotia, and the Wabanaki Two-Spirit Alliance, and strive to prioritize their experiences in our Pride Week programming.
We are truly thankful to the dedicated 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, supporters, and those who paved the way in building a more inclusive 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, including those currently developing a new Queer Studies certificate for 新加坡六合彩开奖直播.聽 #PrideAtDal
