It has been brought to our attention that one of our Regional Coordinators was recently the victim of some particularly hateful comments in response to an email they sent inviting their membership to join them in their city’s Pride Parade. An event that should be a celebration of love and solidarity became the target of one person’s vitriol.
We want to unequivocally state that this behaviour is completely unacceptable.
The IATSE Pride Committee condemns any and all attacks on our LGBTQ+ kin and stands with our Regional Coordinator. We call on all of our allies to stand in solidarity, march with us, and help spread the love. We refuse to allow hateful individuals to rain on our parade.
