The host of Canada’s Drag Race and Freddie ambassador Brooke Lynn Hytes was in Toronto last week promoting the inclusive healthcare provider.
As we all know, June is pride month which means 30 days of parades, parties, glitter, rainbows, drag shows and marketing campaigns wherein brands try to ally themselves with the gay community.

I first learned about them through friends in the community. Who hasn’t spilled about their sex life over brunch? Veryof us. When I saw how dedicated they were to providing affirming and inclusive healthcare, I knew we had to join forces to support our community’s health and well-being.
