May 17 - International Day Against Homophobia

TORONTO--(Marketwire - May 16, 2008) - May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia. It is a day of action, awareness and affirmation of the fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified (LGBT) people and their families to live their lives - Out and Proud. On this Day the Ontario Federation of Labour is proud to stand in solidarity solidly in opposition to homophobia and transphobia.

The OFL endorses the 2008 campaign that highlights health care as a major issue for the LGBT community. We support the call for health services which are free of discrimination. We also firmly believe that supporting a not-for-profit public health care and pharmacare system is the best way to ensure that discrimination does not exist in the system.
