As we acknowledge all the good things about Canada with time off, fireworks and time with friends and family having some summer fun, let’s ask make today a day to listen to Aboriginal voices and reflect on our settler responsibilities for reconciliation and moving forward in ways that heal our Indigenous communities. Join us in reflecting on the troubling foundation that our country was built on and taking action for reconciliation. Systemic racism and the abuse of our Indigenous communities is not just a problem of the past. Let’s commit to our role in healing the past and protecting the future.

Posted • thefaustinfam It’s too easy to forget the fact that this type of stuff is our reality, and the reality of many other lgbtq families. 🌈🏳️‍🌈💕

We’re two moms.
In an in*******al, multicultural marriage.
Raising three kids together.

And even though we do everything a straight couple does (and then some), these are still some of the things that surprise people.

What would you like to learn more about?!? ☺️

Posted • Last year, my favorite coffee shop hung a massive rainbow flag in honor of Pride month. It’s not there this year. Everywhere I took, places, people and things that once celebrated pride are vanishing. Why? Fear. Hate. Ignorance. Which is why this year, Pride is ever so important.

Pride isn’t just a party.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride is resistance.
It’s a loud, visible refusal to disappear in the face of censorship, hatred, and violence.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride is remembrance.
It honors the trans women of color and q***r activists who fought back at Stonewall and beyond—reminding us that our rights were never freely given, only hard-won.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride is visibility.
And visibility is radical. It’s saying: You will not erase me. We are still here.

This month, we remember that the rainbow is not just celebration—it is armor.
