In response to policy resolutions passed at the Conservative Party of Canada's national convention earlier this month, pride groups in northwestern Ontario are seeking accountability from local Conservative MP Eric Melillo. But so far, the Kenora riding rep hasn't responded.
More than 100 people attend a rally to support LGBTQ youth in Thunder Bay, Ont. Pride groups across northwestern Ontario are coming together to demand a meeting with Kenora MP Eric Melillo about their concerns with policy resolutions passed by the Conservative Party of Canada.
Caitlin Hartlen, chair of Rainbow Alliance Dryden, said they're concerned about two key policy resolutions passed duringTo ban children experiencing gender dysphoria from receiving gender-related "life-altering medicinal or surgical interventions." "Now, those both sound good on paper but are designed to undermine the rights of transgender women and youth in this country," said Hartlen. "It's actually going to be very harmful because for many trans youth, school is currently safer than home."
While critics and researchers say the term "parental rights" is a misnomer because it doesn't address the concerns of LGBTQ parents or parents of LGBTQ children, Poilievre provided a different interpretation in a tweet from Sept. 22.
