Prince Albert Pride has announced that it will ban members of the Sask. Party and Saskatchewan United Party from participating in Pride Month activities due to their support for Bill 137, the province’s transphobic pronoun legislation. The decision follows a similar move by Queen City Pride in Regina, which declined to proclaim Pride Month at the legislature this year due to the actions of the Saskatchewan government. PA Pride chair Chelsea Bleau said that the organization believes Bill 137 is an attack on the rights of two-spirit and trans young people, and that having MLAs who support the legislation attend Pride events would be disrespectful and harmful to the LGBTQ2S+ community.

A coalition of organizations is spearheading the largest LGBTQ2S+ mobilization since the marriage equality campaign, dubbed the Rainbow Week of Action. Rallies are planned in major cities and smaller communities across Canada on May 16-17 to advocate for government support for LGBTQ2S+ initiatives and denounce misinformation spread by far-right groups. The campaign aims to highlight the challenges faced by the LGBTQ2S+ community, particularly transgender youth, and call for a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
