Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), we’re reflecting on a powerful conversation hosted earlier this week by TPL’s Pride Alliance at the Toronto Reference Library.

TPLF team members joined a fireside chat and Q&A with Heated Rivalry cast member and 2SLGBTQ+ advocate Harrison Browne and award-winning journalist Rachel Browne, exploring what real allyship looks like across sports, media, and the workplace—and how narratives, visibility, and action shape inclusion.

It was a meaningful opportunity to listen, learn, and reaffirm our commitment to building a workplace and community where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to show up as their full selves.
