An Edmonton man who received a homophobic message at work for Valentine's Day received a very different message Saturday. "Know that your friends outnumber the haters by the millions, and I am one of those friends," wrote Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a card for Degas Sikorski. The belated valentine, signed by many members of Parliament, was given to Sikorski by his local Member of Parliament Randy Boissonnault at a brunch meeting.

When he got there, a supervisor had made gifts for all the staff — but his contained a shocking slur.

"I am beyond livid," wrote his mother Shelley Bramhoff Sikorski on Facebook, who called on her network to spread the word about the incident. Degas no longer works for Party City. Boissonnault, who is also gay, heard the story and wanted to find a way he and his colleagues could support the young man, according to Global News.
