This PRIDE month, did you know that:

• The 2SLGBTQ+ rights movement has made significant progress in recent years but continues to face discrimination and violence. 2SLGBTQ+ individuals are four times more likely to experience violence or abuse.
•  In 2014, Toronto became the first city in North America to host WorldPride. Toronto bid and won as host city for 2014. It's estimated that 2 million people attended the festivities.
