The real reason for Pride isn’t always visible
Social-impact agency Public Inc. has partnered with Rainbow Railroad on a campaign that aims to remind us all about the real reason for Pride: the ongoing fight to help the LGBTQI+ people who still face discrimination and violence, which too often remains hidden.
As the country gears up to celebrate Pride in Toronto and cities everywhere, it’s also important to remember that there are people in over 60 countries around the world who are vulnerable to discrimination or displacement due to systemic or state-enabled homophobia or transphobia. And, according to the Yale School of Medicine, 83% of LGBTQI+ people around the world still have to hide who they are.
Donate below to help at-risk LGBTQI+ individuals journey from persecution to Pride.
