About the International Day of Pink

The International Day of Pink started in 2007 by David Shepherd and Travis Price at a high school in Nova Scotia. They witnessed the bullying of a gay male student for wearing a pink shirt. Shepherd and Price then convinced students at their school to wear pink to send a strong message against bullying and homophobia. Their act of solidarity and allyship lit the spark that would lead to the formation of the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity.
