Solidarity Statement
Queer Connection Lanark is deeply saddened by the recent death of a young person in Perth. In respect for the families, the investigation and the community at large, we refrain from speculating as to the circumstances and complexities surrounding this tragedy.
We remain committed to nurturing a community in which everyone feels safe and healing can lead the way.
Specifically, we stand against any politician or private citizen who leverages a personal tragedy to further anti-2SLGBTQI+ (or any other harmful & marginalizing) rhetoric.
To this end Queer Connection Lanark is guided by the preamble of the Ontario Rights Code, written with sensitivity, dignity of worth and hope:
…. having its aim the creation of a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and worth of each person so that each person feels a part of the community and able to contribute fully to the development and well-being of the community and the Province.
