Monday, May 29: Canada can act to boost global protection for people. At home, let\u0027s not get exercised about drag artists, a reader adds.
The government can collaborate with local activists and organizations to launch public awareness campaigns that challenge societal prejudices and stereotypes. It can create and expand policies that provide asylum and refugee status to LGBTQ+ individuals facing persecution in their home countries. This sends a clear message that human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity will not be tolerated.
Finally, it is important to approach these efforts with cultural sensitivity, recognizing that change takes time and should be driven by local voices and organizations. Collaboration, dialogue and partnership with local LGBTQ+ activists and organizations are vital to ensure that the interventions are contextually appropriate and respectful of local cultures and traditions.In recent weeks there has been increased public concern regarding the influence drag artists have on young minds.
I come from a place of privilege: I identify as a cis-heteronormative gay man who happens to also be a physician. The work that drag artists — who often do not come from a place of privilege — have done for my mental health and my ability to feel safe and heard is beyond the description of a short letter.
