Today is the Vancouver Pride Parade. 🏳️‍🌈

The theme this year is “50 Years and Still Fighting”.

It amazes and saddens me that in this day and age we are still talking about the struggle for equity for all. We live in a pluralistic society, and yet race and gender identity are things we need to explicitly recognize, with thought and intention, rather than pretend we don’t see it, or that it doesn’t matter (anymore).

But today is a celebration, a chance to put differences on display, surrounded by colour, music, and wonderful people in a beautiful city.

Wear your pride ‘out loud’ today!
