ICYMI - Outrage in Alberta after food company makes transphobic response to Pride donation request
A food company in Canmore is in hot water over a transphobic response to a donation request by Canmore Pride.
“Please keep these sick people away from the children of this community, you should be disgusted with yourselves.” Jeff’s sister, and daughter of the company’s founders Walter and Leonie von Rotz, Chantal von Rotz, said in a post online Tuesday that Jeff has been removed from the company and its operations.
She said the company has taken further action since Tuesday evening, which includes reaching out to the LGBTQ2S+ community to express their most sincere apologies. Canmore’s Mayor Sean Krausert said in a statement online that the town proudly stands in solidarity with LGBTQ2S+ residents and visitors “who make this town a more vibrant and diverse place to call home.”
The Fairmont Hotels at Jasper Park Lodge and Banff Springs said they will no longer work with or purchase from Valbella. Blush Lane and SPUD posted statements saying they have discontinued their relationship with Valbella.
