Myriam Fougere: "Here in Canada and in Québec, we are deeply concerned about the status of lesbians, gays and transgendered people in Russia. There was a "kiss in" in front of the Russian Embassy in Montreal in September, 2013. We feel for you, we will not be free until all of us are free to be who we are. Courage in the struggle! We are with you!» Although we’re still miles off a tolerant world, I keep a positive focus."
