North West College recognizes LGBT advocacy
Championing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) advocacy was part of North West College’s International Women’s Day celebration on Tuesday, March 8.
Rikki Kadler, 18, won the student-nominated award for LGBT Community Advocate, one of the eight awards, in five categories, handed out during the celebration.
“I’m really happy I won it, because I am a huge advocate for LGBT rights, being gay myself,” Kadler said. “I think it’s horrible that some people don’t have the same rights other people do just for being different, or loving who they love, or not conforming to gender norms.”
Winning an institutional award in celebration of her LGBT advocacy means a lot to Kadler.
