Egale’s name and logo were used in connection with an open letter highlighting the increase in so-called anti-2SLGBTQI movements and protests, which Tucker Carlson called a “lie.”
Egale Canada, an organization for “2SLGBTQI people and issues,” released a statement calling on Canada’s regulators, the CRTC, to begin public consultations on the removal of Fox News from the list of non-Canadian programming authorized for distribution in Canada. The group is moving to essentially ban Fox News in Canada, after host Tucker Carlson featured the group on his program.
An open letter from the group states “The coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities, particularly those who are Two Spirit, trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming (2STNBGN).”
