This morning on public radio I heard that Ontario has become the first Canadian province to protect transgender people in its human rights legislation...legislation that has protected gay and lesbian people since the 1980's.
This tickles me for two primary reasons...
First, because I appreciate their action on behalf of the human rights of all people...not just people like me...not just people who are in the norm...but really protecting human rights.
Second, because in the news story I also heard that all three political parties supported this legislation. Way to come together for your people!
Thank you to our northern neighbor for this great model! I like the world you are creating for our children.
About Me
- Jill
- I am a mother and minister who can't help but ask questions about how our faith and parenting intersect with each other...in ways we realize and in many, many ways we might never think about. I also can't help but believe that we parents are the clearest glimpse of God our children have in their early lives. As overwhelming as that may be, I want to work each day to be ever more faithful to the task.
Where Are You?
