Prides are important to see you are not alone. We must not rest until all of the community is fully included in our societies. Finding your tribe is crucial as we see many especial the young in the LGBTI+ community with mental health issues as they struggle to be and feel included.

Ensuring equal rights for the LGBTI+ community is a fight for human rights. It is also a fight for rule of law. Discriminatory legislation and derogatory rhetorics against minorities is a warning sign that our democracy is in danger and that we must act.

Minorities are our canaries in the coal mine of democracy, and when they are stopped from signing. We must act.

We are not free before everyone is free and fully included in society.
