You may see a special flag being flown at the Town of Bancroft Municipal office on May 17th.
Town Council has unanimously passed a motion marking International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. In the resolution, they say the Town is a community that is open to everyone and to all people who identify with social diversity.
However, they say that despite greater inclusion of LGBTQ+ people, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia exist in society to this day. The day marks a way to speak out about these phobias, and ensure justice and protection for those with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.
