‘Love thy neighbour’: P.A. church offers trans community safe place to be
Wanting to find a way to counter what she knew would be a day filled with fear and stress, local Reverend Norah Vedress decided to host a pot-luck supper for Prince Albert’s 2SLGBTQI+ community on Wednesday.
She started worrying after recent changes by the provincial government on mandatory reporting for students who want to change their pronouns based on their gender identity.
“There’s a lot of questions and concerns for many of us around not only the intention of the policy of the policy but what the ultimate effects are going to be,” Vedress said.
While many believe parents should be included in their child’s education, others argue consideration needs to be given to transgender students and their ability to be who they want, while making sure school is safe.
