The festivities kicked off with the traditional flag-raising ceremony at Varsity Stadium on June 6. 鈥淭he raising of the Pride and trans flags, along with other campus events, promotes necessary LGBTQ+ visibility, celebrates our differences and emphasizes our support and allyship with our queer and trans communities,鈥 said Kelly Hannah-Moffat (fourth from left), 茄子直播鈥檚 vice-president of human resources and equity.

It's the second year that 茄子直播 has flown the blue, pink and white Trans Pride flag. Monica Helms, a U.S. Navy veteran and trans activist, designed the flag in 1999 using the traditional colours for boys and girls, with a white band separating the two to represent intersex, gender non-conforming or transitioning people.
