Dear friends,
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your unwavering support of Policy 713 and the rights of 2SLGBTQAI+ individuals. Since launching the petition, we have witnessed an outpouring of solidarity and commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable society. Your dedication has been truly inspiring.
What began as an attack on the rights of LGBTQ students has now evolved into a broader conversation about the leadership of our Province, the role of our Premier, and the direction in which we are headed. Unfortunately, anti-LGBTQ groups and narratives view New Brunswick as a battleground to erode rights, force individuals into the closet, and spread disinformation. However, with your continued support, we can counter these harmful efforts and strive for a province where diversity, inclusivity, charter rights, and basic decency prevail.
I implore you to keep up the momentum by signing the petition, sharing it widely, and speaking up for a province that upholds the values of equality and respect. Your voices matter, and they have the power to shape the future of our communities. Together, we can create an environment where everyone is celebrated for who they are, irrespective of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Our government must remain focused on addressing the pressing issues that impact all residents, such as healthcare, the cost of living, and housing affordability. Attacking a small percentage of our population diverts attention from these critical matters and perpetuates discrimination and inequality. Let us stand together and advocate for a government that prioritizes the needs of all its citizens, irrespective of their backgrounds.
In this journey towards progress, your continued support is vital. I encourage you to engage in conversations, educate those around you, and champion the cause of equality. Doing so can foster an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.
Thank you once again for your unwavering dedication and commitment to 2SLGBTQAI+ rights. With your help, we can create a more inclusive future for all.
With gratitude,
Don
