What is pinkday in Canada?

The full name is the international of pink day, which is on the last Wednesday of February. It is translated as the International Pink Day. It is an activity initiated by Jer's Vison, a young volunteer in Ottawa, Canada, to call on students, teachers, workers, communities and corporate leaders to jointly oppose violence and discrimination against homosexuals and transgender people.

The time is the last Sunday in June every year. It has three main purposes: that people should be proud of who they are, that sexual orientation diversity is a gift and that sexual orientation is innate and cannot be changed at will. Pride parades celebrating gay pride occur all over the world. Gay pride symbols include the rainbow flag and the pink and black triangles (which were once used in Nazi concentration camps).
