Toronto officials launched Pride Month by raising the Progress Pride flag at city hall. Mayor Olivia Chow emphasized community support, stating the importance of backing 2SLGBTQ+ individuals amidst growing challenges. With representatives and performers joining the event, discussions highlighted the need to focus on transgender rights. Despite challenges with sponsorship withdrawals from major companies like Home Depot and Google, Pride Toronto remains committed to this year's celebrations and believes future support will grow. Chow affirmed unity in adversity, underscoring the city’s dedication to the LGBTQ community.
It's in the city's DNA that we will always support the LGBTQ community. We know that when we come together, we're stronger.
The light just needs to be on trans people right now. It does. We're very important to the community. We just want to live.
