In 1988, Kjipuktuk hosted its first Pride March where community members marched without legal protections against ongoing discrimination, threats of violence and in fear of loss of livelihood. 35 years later we continue to come together every year as a community to celebrate the successes and demand change as we face ongoing challenges.
While we mark the history of this first march with Halifax Pride every July, Pride Month is celebrated across Turtle Island in June, commemorating the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, often regarded as the tipping point for gay liberation in the United States and beyond.
Pride continues to be a necessity for 2SLGBTQI+ community– coming together to remember, disrupt, reimagine, and take up space. This July, join NSCAD in the Halifax Pride Parade (link in bio) and don’t forget to check out these local 2SLGBTQI+ accounts for resources, connections, and community.
