I am proud to support Guyana Together, a campaign which hopes to start a nationwide conversation about respect, unity and inclusion in Guyana. This campaign matches closely our Guyanese values of unity, harmony, respect and togetherness. We are a diverse country known for bringing everyone together, and the acceptance of our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender friends and neighbours is just another step towards a more unified country. The campaign hopes to build a more inclusive, kinder and more compassionate Guyana and to emphasize how we all play a part in making this positive change.
