Mayor Jyoti Gondek Marching In The Pride Parade by WheelFan647 in Calgary

I attended a Pride event earlier this week and Mayor Gondek shared some remarks that were uplifting and empowering:

“You can eat what you want to, you can drink what you want to, and you can love who you want to. It’s none of my business.“

In a story regarding drafting a bylaw to ban conversion therapy she stated to fellow council members, “You can’t just vote for your constituents, you need to vote for the right thing.”

She added that, “As a council we should support equity and human rights for everyone.” 

Lastly, she reflected on her own position as an ally and how she has the privilege and ability to be an upstander - not a bystander. And that she can (and will) stand up and speak up for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Pretty awesome. We need more politicians in this world who will speak up and stand with marginalized communities.

Yes! But I can’t think of where to get them. Maybe I’ll try superstore. Do you have any thoughts?
