Does the Fondation Émergence have significant support to hold this event?
An impressive number of organizations, close to 300 in fact, have officially supported the Fondation Émergence in its goal to hold once a year a day entirely focused on the fight against homophobia. These organizations represent a large spectrum of civil society: governments, municipalities, professional associations, public and parapublic organizations, political parties, and community-based organizations. In addition, each May 17, the Quebec National Assembly pays tribute to this event, members of Parliament raise the issue of homophobia in the House of Commons, and some provinces and municipalities make official proclamations making this a day dedicated to the fight against homophobia in their communities.
