GNS Pride Shirts 2023
GNS Pride Shirts 2023
The GNS Pride & Equality Club is proud to present the limited edition 2023 GNS Pride Shirt. These colourful shirts are a great way to show your solidarity and support for diversity, equity, and inclusion at GNS and beyond!
All proceeds from the sale of these shirts will be donated to Rainbow Railroad.
Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGTBQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.
As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals will be able to access lives free from persecution.
Since their founding, they’ve helped over 7,621 LGBTQI+ individuals find safety through emergency relocation and other forms of assistance. Their story has received international media attention, including a feature on CBS 60 Minutes.
Additional Information
Shirts will be delivered to GNS and available for pickup in early June at either Pemberton Woods or the Beach Campus.
Typical turnaround time is 2-3 weeks from the order date.
Please check your shirt size with the sizing chart below as there are no refunds or exchanges on shirt orders.

When Can We Wear These At School?
At the Junior School, a designated day will be determined when students can wear these. At PW, shirts may be worn by students at any point during that Pride Week (in conjunction with/on top of the regular uniform of the day, or with a casual day if one is scheduled). Throughout the year, these will be added to the spirit wear list and can be worn on casual days.
about the progress flag
about the progress flag
Original Multi-Coloured Rainbow Flag was designed by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 in San Francisco
Transgender Pride Flag (white, pink, and light blue stripes) designed by transgender activist and veteran Monica Helms in 1999
Artist Daniel Quasar combined both renderings to reimagine and re-design the Progress Pride Flag in 2018
The flag's black and brown stripes represent marginalized LBGT communities of colour, community members lost to HIV/AIDS, and those currently living with AIDS
Quasar reshaped the new flag colours into a chevron to represent a need for forward movement
Quasar wanted to, “shift focus and emphasis to what is important in our current community climate.” Specifically, to draw attention to the need to center and support black and brown queer and trans people, as well as those living with AIDS
