As a proud supporter of the LGBTQ2S+ community, Fido has taken the spirit of Pride month and made it part of its DNA to keep the conversation going year-round.
Through initiatives like Connect to Accept, and a goal of driving positive social change, Fido has used its platform as a space to have important conversations led by BIPOC LGBTQ2S+ leaders.
These inspiring leaders have shared their stories, including the challenges and role of intersectionality in the lives of BIPOC members of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
To continue these important conversations and amplify critical voices in the community, Fido is proud to work with IN Magazine, Canada’s premier national LGBTQ2S+ lifestyle publication, to sponsor a series of articles throughout the year to amplify the voices of Canadian BIPOC and trans writers in the LGBTQ2S+ community.
From artists and creators to activists and motivational speakers, you can check out the first article in the series today, which showcases six Black LGBTQ2S+ Canadians to celebrate not just during Black History Month, but every month of the year.
