Funding for community groups a central plank of Canada’s first ever LGBTQ2S+ ‘action plan’
The federal government says it will prioritize direct funding for community groups under Canada’s first ever federal LGBTQ2S+ “action plan,” stating that they are the best-placed organizations to identify and deliver the support needed to address “persisting inequities” and improve the wellbeing of LGBTQ2S+ individuals in this country.
Through the plan, the government is also pledging to study emerging criminal justice issues such as HIV non-disclosure; adopt the usage of the “more inclusive” 2SLGBTQI+ acronym; and launch an awareness campaign aimed at combatting discrimination.
Tell me an election isn’t in the wind. This should be fun as the TERF wars heat up so there’s that.
I hope Justin appoints Laith Marouf as Minister For Gays.
