As Canada's federal election approaches, Grade 12 student Jiji Pulos emphasizes the urgent need for political focus on 2SLGBTQ+ rights amidst rising transphobia and anti-queer sentiments. Pulos highlights that the lack of attention to these issues is concerning, especially with upcoming election decisions that could secure or jeopardize rights for queer individuals. Parents like Jessica Fraser echo these worries, expressing fear for their children's futures given the current political climate. The ongoing discourse around tariffs overshadows the pressing need for clarity on parties' commitments to 2SLGBTQ+ rights as the election date looms.
It's really scary as someone who's queer and about to turn 18, not having rights secured.
Voting is more important than ever. It feels like erasure, just like it's happened in history before.
That worries me, as I'd like to keep these issues in the minds of voters.
It's just appalling. It makes me afraid for my son in particular.
