Queer Citizens United says UCP caucus members banned from Alberta Pride events because ‘they are legislating against us’
An Alberta queer community organizer says a Pride ban on United Conservative Party legislature members challenges Premier Danielle Smith to start matching words with actions.
Alberta proposes that students 15 and younger must have consent from their parents to change their preferred names or pronouns at school. For those 16 and 17, their parents must be notified. The Friday statement was timed to coincide with the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
“They are a violently discriminatory and homophobic and transphobic party,” said Demers, who is transgender.
