Happy Pride Month, Ontario! We may be physically apart again this year but that doesn't mean we can't still celebrate 2SLGBTQ love & joy!

I'm proud to be part of a party that's always fought alongside the 2SLGBTQ community in our fight for equality & inclusion. That's why we're committed to:
🏳️‍🌈 Making PrEP free & available
🏳️‍🌈Covering all transition surgeries by OHIP
🏳️‍🌈More inclusive LTC so that q***r seniors can age with pride

Check out our full list of commitments this Pride Month here: https://www.ontariondp.ca/news/horwaths-ndp-celebrates-pride-month-2021
