Prime Minister condemned sharp rise in laws curtailing rights of transgender people across the United States
OTTAWA — Children who do not see a Pride flag at their schools should know one is flying for them on Parliament Hill, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday, as he condemned the sharp rise in laws curtailing the rights of transgender people across the United States.
The prime minister echoed other speakers who warned of the discrimination faced by members of the LGBTQ community, both online and in their daily lives. Higgs's Progressive Conservative government has defended the move as fulfilling the wishes of parents, but it has been met with backlash. The Brandon School Division in southern Manitoba recently voted against a call to remove books with LGBTQ content from its libraries.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May both attended the ceremony. Melissa Lantsman, who serves as deputy leader for the Conservatives and is lesbian, also attended.
