Today, the Canadian Human Rights Commission stands in pride and solidarity with every 2SLGBTQQIA+ person in Canada, especially young people. At the heart of many of today's marches is misinformation and hateful rhetoric that denies the existence of trans and gender diverse people. There have been calls to erase trans and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people from school curricula.
