Pride this year is different, as festivities are to return in person. Over two years we were kept in isolation for safety, as illness and fear kept us more than 2 metres apart. Friends of Ruby is a safe place for you to connect with community, virtually and in-person!

We will hug, laugh, dance and cry. We will mourn the lost time, the lost people - and many of us will still feel anxious. But we will do it together. Whether virtually, at home, or in-person, Friends of Ruby created safe spaces for you to surround yourself with community!

Extended family didn’t react the same way. And sadly that’s the case for many of us. This is why 2SLGBTQI+ Housing is such an issue. Consider supporting orgs working to end 2SLGBTQI+ Homelessness like
