All About Pride: Identifying Symbols of a Movement

All About Pride: Identifying Symbols of a Movement

Was the first Pride a riot? Which flag should I be flying this year? What's up with all of these rainbow logos in my feed? It seems like everyone wants our money this Pride season, but how can we tell who is truly deserving of our business? Using examples from advertisements and social media, Pride at Work Canada Executive Director Colin Druhan will shine a light on some of the most recognizable symbols of Pride and contextualize them within both the history of queer and trans movements and the current climate of inclusion in Canadian workplaces.

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, Calgary Pride, as an inhabitant of Calgary Alberta, honours and acknowledges Moh’kinsstis and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Lyarhe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that the territory we work and live upon is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.

 

We thank these communities for their stewardship of the land we collectively inhabit today.
