- The Vancouver Public Library (VPL) has responded to attempts by trans activists to cancel an upcoming event featuring Meghan Murphy, speaking about gender identity legislation and women’s rights. The VPL declined to cancel the booking, saying:
“VPL is not endorsing, or hosting this event; it is a rental of our public space. VPL has zero tolerance for discrimination and does not agree with the views of the Feminist Current. However, commitment to free speech and intellectual freedom are fundamental values of public libraries and are bedrock values for democratic society. As such, we will not refuse to rent to an individual or organization simply because they are discussing controversial topics or views, even those we find offensive. We seek to be a welcoming place for all, and actively find ways to support the trans, gender variant and two-spirit community.”
