Today, May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. It is a day to recognize hard-earned progress, while also addressing the pursuit of equity.

This year’s theme is “At the Heart of Democracy.” This theme reflects the reality that Two-Spirit, le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, intersex and additional sexual and gender diverse communities continue to face adversity and challenges in pursuit of rights and inclusion.

Durham Community Health Centre proudly stands with our friends in the 2SLGBTQI community and believes participation and representation in all systems are key to building healthier communities, together.

Today and every day, DCHC is committed to providing a safe space for everyone to receive the clinical, mental health, and social care they need.
