June is celebrated as Pride month; it began to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots and represesents the ongoing pursuit of equal justice for the LGBTQ+ community. Here are five  quotes to honour Pride month:

"Hope will never be silent." - Harvey Milk

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." - E.E. Cummings

"And if someone is brave enough to tell you who they are , be brave enough to support them, even if you don't understand." - Ellen DeGeneres

"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." - Audre Lorde

"You don't have to be gay to be a supporter - you just have to be human." - Daniel Radcliffe.

The West Champlain Family Health Team is grateful to the Indigenous Health Circle (which works in collaboration with The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn and the Ottawa Valley Ontario Health Team) for sharing a meaningful land acknowledgement both in English and Omámíwininímowin (the Algonquin Anishinábe language), which is the basis of our own.
