According to the Canadian government, approximately four percent of the Canadian population is part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. A portion of this population identifies as panromantic or pansexual.

May 22nd was Harvey Milk’s birthday, and every year we mark that occasion by taking time to remember him.
