Supporting trans people will never be a bargaining chip or negotiation point for me. If trans people aren’t safe somewhere then I don’t want to be there either. They are human beings just like you or me or anyone else, and I dream of a day when they can go out in the world like I can without fear. 🏳️‍⚧️

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.
