Thousands of people will fill the streets of Vancouver’s West End on August 3 to view the annual Pride parade. The staff at the Equity and Inclusion Office wish a Happy Pride to all our fellow UBC students, faculty and staff.
For those watching the parade here are some examples of the flags you may see to represent the gender and sexual diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* (transgender, transsexual, trans-identified), two-spirit, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual + (LGBT*TQIA+) communities.
Make UBC a Positive Space for LGBT*TQIA+ communities
Attend a Positive Space workshop and help make UBC community a more inclusive and welcoming place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* (transgender, transsexual, trans-identified), two-spirit, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual (LGBT*TQIA+) communities and individuals on campus. Workshops are held throughout the year at UBC Vancouver and Okanagan campuses.
