Delta Pride Society

06/01/2026

Pride Month is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots - one of the first uprisings to achieve equal justice, opportunity and human rights for the Pride community. In Canada, the first 2SLGBTQ+ demonstration (the We Demand Rally) took place in Ottawa and Vancouver in August 1971.

Raising or displaying a Pride flag is a sign of solidarity, inclusion and support of our 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Globally, trans and q***r people continue to face discrimination, exclusion, and stigma. In the US and Canada we see far too many examples of resources, medical care and human rights being stripped from the Pride community.

All people, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity, are entitled to equal rights and dignity. These are the principles set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Trans rights are human rights and the community needs allyship. Allyship isn’t passive, but active and we encourage everyone to join us in a commitment to listen, learn and step into greater allyship, education, understanding and empathy for truly all.

Delta Pride Society reaffirms our commitment to support, encourage, uplift and advocate for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their allies.

We recognize all q***r and trans people who live their truth every day. We acknowledge those who are not out or not safe to be out. There is immense beauty in our diversity and we celebrate that!

You are treasured 🩵
You are irreplaceable 🤍
You are loved 💖

Yesterday the Delta School District raised the Pride flag. We were grateful to take part along with SHER Pride who are an incredible resource and immense support to the q***r, trans and BIPOC community.

Superintendent of Schools, Doug Sheppard pointed out the cut and now soldered flag pole - in previous years the Pride flag pole was actually taken away and another year cut down. He shared that a flag pole may be repaired but the hurt inflicted on q***r and transgender students, staff and the greater community isn’t as easily healed. This serves as a reminder of pushback and hate directed at our q***r and trans community.

This is why we raise the Pride flag
This is why we have Pride events

We encourage everyone to dig deeper into education and direct action to support, uplift and advocate for our 2SLGBTQ+ students, teachers and community.

International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, & Transphobia is today 💖🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we call on all q***r and trans allies to go beyond acceptance and understand what liberation means.

Marsha P Johnson said, "No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us"

Delta Pride Society recognizes May 17 as the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) supporting the global theme of “At the heart of democracy” – a reminder that truly democratic societies must be grounded in justice and freedom for all.

2SLGBTQIA+ people around the world, along with everyone who cares for and with these communities, have long resisted infringements on the freedom and safety of q***r and trans people. 

The date marks the historic decision by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 17, 1990, to remove homosexuality from its International Classification of Diseases.
