A police officer in Toronto, Ontario, has dyed his hair hot pink in order to protest against homophobia, discrimination and any acts of bullying towards LGBT people.
In celebration of Canada’s Day of Pink, an annual event aimed at raising more awareness and understanding about the LGBT community, police officer Ryan Willmer posted a picture of his fellow police officer Luke Watson on Twitter, promising that a series of images of Luke with pink hair would follow, if the first image was retweeted 500 times.
560 retweets later and Luke arrived at the station to the news that he would have to dye his blonde locks a bright and bold shade of pink, all in the name of spreading a message of tolerance and acceptance to the community.
