What does it take to wave a rainbow flag in the heart of a small town—knowing everyone is watching?
In this moving TEDx talk, educator and researcher Robert Mizzi reflects on a cross-country journey attending rural Pride events across Canada. Through powerful storytelling and personal experience, Robert reveals how these grassroots gatherings are more than celebrations—they are lifelines. They teach us to be brave in vulnerability, to humanize difference, and to speak up through joyful resistance.
From rainbow benches by northern lakes to drag queens at Royal Canadian Legions, Robert shares the quiet and radical ways small communities are fostering visibility, safety, and belonging for queer and trans people. This is a tribute to the power of discomfort, and the courage that emerges when we step forward—together. Robert Mizzi, a professor and Canada Research Chair in Queer, Community, and Diversity Education, is passionate about creating inclusive communities. He shares how rural pride festivals foster resilience and 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion, inspiring change in unexpected places.
