So pleased to have welcomed @justinpjtrudeau to @thefountainheadpub in my riding. A fave watering hole for the LGBTQ2+ community. Trudeau sets the “bar” high.

Trudeau isn’t afraid to lift the profile of LGBTIQ rights and standing in solidarity with the community. In 2016 he made history when he was the first Canadian prime minister to march in a Pride parade. Back then he was waving rainbow flags, dancing and taking photos with other marchers.
