Tyler Musey in Kamloops, British Columbia
0My wish is for more LGBTQA+ representation in the media and political realm. Especially asexual community members aren't often represented in the media like other LGBTQA+ members, which we need for people to understand the identity.

0That we work towards creating more equal opportunities for people when it comes to human rights and LGBTQ2A. I think that we have come further in creating equality by doing the "pride parade" and our Prime Minster working towards more awareness of the LGBTQ2A+ community. I do believe that we could do more by creating more gender-neutral washroom in all public places and creating more communities available in schools and in our towns/cities that would make people more educated and included in the LGBTQ2A+ community. I think we need to continue to work towards better human rights for everyone, neither that be gender equality in all opportunities or racial equality in all circumstances, etc.

0Making a difference won't be overnight and making a change towards something you believe in will take effort and perseverance but don't think that it is impossible. We have to work together as not only a community but a nation and learn to undertand that there is not a difference between any two individuals but we are all seen on the same level. Everyone should have equal opportunity and rights to anything that is presented to them. Issues like gender-neutral washrooms should be more accessible to the everyday public and not put people into two gender categories. Also bringing conversations uu towards topics like these will help elevate stigma. We should also get to a point in society where coming out isn't a thing and it's just seen as who you love and you are. Celebrate who you are.

0My wish for Canada is: 1) for more environmental sustainability 2) LGBTQ2A rights and acceptance into certain things like afterschool sports and programs. Just because they're different doesn't mean they're not human.
