This year marks the twentieth anniversary of Halifax Pride Week festival, a chance to celebrate and have fun. For gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, it is also a celebration of freedom and rights. Many people around the world are imprisoned, tortured, even killed because of their sexuality. And Pride Marches in many countries, including Lithuania and Latvia, have been marred by violence in recent years.
This year, speak up for the human rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Amnesty International will have a table set up at the Pride Fair this Saturday, July 26, on the Halifax Commons. Stop by to learn more about how you can help. Or take action online.
