The day after Transgender Day of Visibility, BC Liberal MLA John Rustad has retweeted an attack on trans identities and gender diversity.

The tweet argues that “multiculturalism,” “diversity” and “gender awareness” are forms of hate.

BC NDP MLA Grace Lore:

“It is devastating to watch a BC Liberal MLA attack what he calls ‘gender awareness’ the day after Trans Day of Visibility. We welcomed and celebrated trans+ family and friends and instead he sees hate and division? John Rustad should apologize. And Kevin Falcon should condemn the harmful views expressed by this member of his team.”
