Construction begins on Canada's new LGBTQ2+ National Monument.
The large monument will be located on the northeast side of Wellington Street by the Portage Bridge, next to the Ottawa River and close to the capital city’s Judicial Precinct.
The design of the monument, named “Thunderhead,” was chosen in 2022 following a design competition that chose a concept by a Winnipeg-based team, comprised of architectural design firm Public City, visual artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan, and Albert McLeod, who is an Indigenous and Two-Spirited People subject-matter expert and advisor.
According to the federal government’s description, the design draws on the symbolism of a thunderhead cloud, which “embodies the strength, activism, and hope of LGBTQ2+ communities.”
“It will be a lasting testimony to the courage and humanity of those who were harmed by the LGBT Purge, homophobic and transphobic laws and norms, and Canada’s colonial history.”

It’s a blue turd. Not exactly Michelangelo, is it?
Monuments are usually built for dead people and things.
Oddly fitting that they called it Thunderhead... a portent of a storm. Then again, maybe they should have called it Whirlwind... as in “Reap The....”.
Wouldn’t just a statue of Satan cover all degenerates?
Did US tax dollars pay for this?
