Air Canada’s attempt to kick off June Pride Month 2025 with a celebratory post about its first-ever “all-2SLGBTQIA+ flight” backfired, drawing a flood of critical responses online. To what was attempted as a ‘progressive’ ad lacked the matter of ‘inclusivity’ as pointed out by several internet users. The airline shared a video across its platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), featuring employees from pilots and engineers to ground staff and cabin crew, identifying across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum - Two-Spirit (2S), Lesbian (L), Gay (G), Bisexual (B), Transgender (T), Queer or Questioning (Q), Intersex (I), Asexual (A). They shared heartfelt reactions, calling it a historic moment for the airline. However, the post garnered overwhelming backlash and intense debate online, prompting Air Canada’s social media team to turn off the replies for a few hours after the video was posted. Pride Month 2025 Quotes: Inspirational Gay Pride Slogans, Powerful Sayings, Messages and Greetings To Celebrate and Support the LGBTQ+ Community.
