This spring, I was selected by Pride Toronto to serve as the Francophone Ambassador. Each year, the organization chooses about ten people to fill \u201cHonoured Positions\u201d and represent the diversity of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. I\u2019m deeply touched by this appointment, especially since my teenaged son originally nominated me, and FrancoQueer supported my nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I\u2019m preparing a stump speech that I hope to have the chance to deliver during the Pride festivities in June, and I\u2019m also prepping my rainbow wardrobe!
