The Town of Hudson is proud to mark the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia by raising the inclusive flag at the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre, 394 Main Road

  • On May 17, 1990, the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses. Thirty-three years later, we celebrate the 21st edition of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
  • On this occasion, we have the duty to take a stand against homophobia and transphobia, which stem from feelings based on myths, stereotypes and prejudices that have no real basis. It is important to counter these beliefs so that LGBTQ+ people can live without fear or discrimination.
  • Today, and every day, let’s continue to fight against homophobia and transphobia to make Quebec a more equal society that is proud of its diversity.
