Nanaimo, BC

People are planning to protest SD68 and city hall today. They are bullying our schools to bring toxic masculinity back into schools.

Telling children boys to stop crying and suck it up, and girls to be pretty and nice. SOGI is a curriculum about diversity in sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics. These are backed by medical science from the past 50 years after WW2.

I will be there to support our schools and our children. With the message that you're okay the way you are. If you're different from what the world says you should be, that is okay. You're not alone in being different, you're not an alien, there are other people that feel that way too. You can find love, you can succeed in today's world. Be your best self, be you, just be.
