Dozens show out to Veteran’s Park for International Transgender Day of Visibility

Large said that children are crucial to breaking generational trauma and having the 2SLGBTQ+ community become more accepted.

“It is absolutely important that we teach kids and kids carry that forward because we need a way out of this,” Large said.

“Kids are learning, they’re more accepting and these things are becoming more normal and more seen,” she added.

“They know it’s okay and accepted and valid to be that way and to support this community.”

Large said that she’s received messages online asking about the community and how to get involved.

She recommended reaching out to the local pride community on social media.

Large’s husband Ashley Large in February spoke out against Premier Danielle Smith’s proposed youth gender policies during a town hall in Medicine Hat.

“I’ve been to two funerals of children who have taken their lives because of this issue. Two of them,” Large said as he walked out of the town hall in what became a viral moment.

“Go to one of those funerals, watch those parents bury their kids. This is pathetic.”
