LP: “I think I found out about three months ago and when I was told by the executive director of Pride Toronto I literally jumped off the chair and I started screaming with excitement. And the power of movements when we come together and we turn up the volume on society.

I'll be there at the main stage. We are really about that education piece; that love, hope, joy, celebration and protests and understanding the different intersections where our communities meet. Lady Phyll: “I guess I've always known that I was different and I've always asked questions, been really inquisitive about justice and social justice.
