IKEA locations in Canada raised a rainbow flag today to commemorate the pro-homosexual “International Day Against Homophobia Transphobia and Biphobia.”
IKEA Canada president Michael Ward said raising the pro-homosexual flag symbolizes IKEA’s commitment to “diversity and inclusion.”
"At IKEA, caring for people, diversity and inclusion are embedded in our vision and in our values," he said. "We strive to have a diverse and inclusive work environment where co-workers feel valued for their uniqueness, recognized for their diverse talents and where they can be themselves."

Workers at the global home furnishings retailer joined in gay festivities throughout Canada, according to a company statement that noted that IKEA is a partner of Pride at Work and a global partner of Workplace Pride. The latter organization is based in the Netherlands and seeks to expand the LGBT agenda globally by setting benchmarks for the employment of homosexuals.
The British, European Commission, and Canadian governments, along with several other global corporations, also commemorated the day in concert with the United Nations.

Originally known as International Day Against Homophobia, the day marks the date 30 years ago when the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases. Several governments, as well as the UN and its various agencies, are celebrating the day, as are various globalist corporations.
For example, UK Prime Minister Theresa May tweeted: "International Day Against Homophobia Transphobia and Biphobia is an opportunity to celebrate the progress made in promoting LGBTQ rights. But we must also reflect that there is much more to do so that discrimination is consigned to history.” She was seconded by the UK foreign office and its representatives to the UN in Geneva.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a supportive statement, saying his government is addressing the “unique needs of LGBTQ2 Canadians, and the persisting disparities they face” by funding “community-level organizations leading the work to bring about change. This year, Canada is releasing a $1 “Equality” coin to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalization of homosexuality in the country.
Elsewhere, Taiwan proclaimed that it is the first nation in Asia to legalize same-sex “marriage” to mark the day.
The Bayern Munich soccer team will celebrate by replacing the customary corner flags at a Saturday match against Eintracht Frankfurt with rainbow flags.
Australia’s biggest telecommunications company, Telstra, proclaimed its support. BASF board member Michael Heinz released a statement of support on Twitter. And the rainbow gay pride flag flew on top of the offices of city government in Glasgow, Scotland.

UNICEF tweeted: “Join us in speaking up For Every Child's right to live free from discrimination, no matter who their family is, who they love or how they identify.”
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a statement that his agency is working to ensure that “LGBTI asylum seekers and refugees are protected wherever they are…” The statement claimed that LGBTI people around the world experience human rights abuses and persecution in their home countries and thus deserve refugee in other countries where they may face even greater risks.

Diversity and inclusion are the LAST thing leftists are. Quite the opposite
“Homophobia”. More butchery and redefining of the English language.
Phobia is an irrational fear. I do not fear homosexuals. I merely know that there is no such thing as “gay” marriage. It is a logical impossibility. That belief does not imply fear of or hate for homosexuals. Yet, the left calls me a homophobe.
I could, with much more validity, say that the left exhibits “normaphobia” - an irrational fear and hatred of normal people who would simply like to be left alone.
People are not homophobic, they are disgusted with homos shoving it in the public sphere. They’re also insulted the sacred institution of marriage has been tainted by carnal practices that cannot produce offspring and bind families naturally.
They’re also fed up with the hypocrisy of homosexuals mocking natural marriages as ‘breeders’. It is a fact that homosexuals fancy themselves as superior to naturals. They have to think that way, else the reality strikes them to suicide.
Society is healhier when sexual relations are kept private.
And it’s acceptable to express that homosexuality is perverse because indeed it feels wrong and unnatural. Those base instincts are important to preserve. One should not be bullied into suppression of natural instincts.
Disneyworld now celebrates Pride month, now including rainbow mickeys and merchandise - after kicking out the Christian Joy days last year that had been hosted at Disneyworld for years.
Coincidence? I think not.
I’m sure Canada will have a pro Christian day any time soon now-
Avoid their products henceforth...
Agreed
Most every Leftwing campaign relies on distortions and catchy phrasing.
No doubt most of the agenda is driven by a sophisticated, though nefarious, Marxist machine.
Looked for a Latin sword for that years ago, never found it.
What did the ambassador to Germany tweet today?
Now this is important
It’s not phobia if you don’t fear, just overwhelmed with revulsion while recognizing such behavior for the unnatural and ungodly aberration that it is. I am also disgusted that a super-minority of two to three percent has been allowed to bully every aspect of our society in the last few years. Treatment for my “heterosexuality disorder” is probably demanded soon because my wrist tends to stay straight and I don’t speak with a lisp.
