Established in 1979 by the Canadian Le***an and Gay Rights Coalition, Pink Triangle Day (which took place over the weekend on Feb. 14) commemorates a foundational legal victory for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Canada: the acquittal of Pink Triangle Press on obscenity charges.

2026 marked the 47th anniversary of this Canadian tradition.

This quote from our recent event, “RHO In Conversation: Navigating Racism and Transphobia,” is a powerful reminder that gender-affirming care must be intersectional.

Jodi highlighted a critical gap: “A lot of care models that currently exist for gender-affirming care are developed based on the experiences of white trans people… which completely leaves out considerations for racialized trans folks.”

We will be sharing more insights from this conversation. Watch for more events coming in 2026.

In her case, she fought for her right to marry, and to be legally recognized as a woman. Her legal battle continued for several years, eventually reaching the European Court of Human Rights. The right to change one's legal s*x was not granted in the UK until 2004 in the Gender Recognition Act.

On Thursday, November 20, The 519 will commemorate the 26th anniversary of the Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR). Join us to honour the lives of the 2 Spirit, trans, and non-binary siblings who are no longer with us.

This year’s theme for The 519’s TDoR event is “This is who we are.” It represents self-determination, dignity, and community. Only we define ourselves. We remember our lost friends, neighbours, colleagues, family, lovers, and comrades. In our grief, in our rage, in our organizing, and in our remembering and honouring, we inspire change, solidarity, safety, hope and joy for the lives and rights of all 2 Spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people.

Doors will open at 5:30pm, for a 6pm event start. The event will consist of an opening ceremony, performances, a vigil, dinner, and more. Attendance is in-person or virtual.
