Mayor Tory has marked the beginning of Toronto’s first-ever pride month by raising the rainbow flag City Hall. What was once a day of celebration became pride week and now extends over a month. Councillor Kristin Wong-Tam spoke about the historic struggles of Toronto’s LGBT community. “It hasn’t always been fine. There have been moments in time in the history of the LGBT movement where we’ve had to fight harder to … get the recognition we deserve,” Wong-Tam said. Separately, Prime Minister Trudeau raised the rainbow flag on Parliament Hill.
