The second Wednesday of every April marks the International Day of Pink
This annual event brings people together in solidarity against homophobic and transphobic bullying, and to celebrate equity, diversity and inclusion.
Day of Pink began in Nova Scotia when two high school students intervened after witnessing a gay student in their school being bullied for wearing pink. Wanting to do more, they purchased pink shirts and distributed them through the school in solidarity against homophobic and transphobic bullying.
Each year, university community members come together in a pink shirt or clothing item to show their support.
