Today is #TransDayOfVisibility For someone to be their authentic self is the most beautiful thing in the world. To be visible is to be vulnerable & everyone deserves to be safe, respected, happy, healthy & connected.

The young Albertans who start, take part in and support GSAs inspire me with their compassion and bravery. They have each other’s backs and I unequivocally have theirs. Love, hope, and optimism will always trump hate, fear, and anger. #LoveWins #FightingForYou #abvote #LoveisLove

GSAs give our kids a safe space. They help our kids build community. They save lives. We passed legislation to protect vulnerable LGBTQ kids and we will not stop fighting for the safety and freedom of our children. #abvote
