PSA: My #queerness is not a ‘mature theme’. If my 3-year-old can handle it, so can yours.
Happy #PrideMonth! #Pride2023

Maggie. She brings so much depth and thought to an issue that we really haven't handled well as a community. We are thrilled to chat with her on May 30th.

Grâce au financement du Programme d'appui à la francophonie ontarienne (PAFO) @ONgouv, nous avons eu quelques mois bien remplis pour organiser des tournées pour les artistes #MASC.
Voici un retour en arrière, lorsque @cinvivo a donné une performance époustouflante à @ES_DSJS !

“Silence only emboldens those who are screaming,” Manon Phaneuf, Ottawa parent of a transgender child.
So I’ll speak clearly: Queer, trans, and poly people have existed secretly, but we have always existed. We are your neighbours and colleagues. We have families and loved ones.
Look, I don’t have all the answers. I only have questions. And I generally think it’s a good idea to question our core beliefs once in a while, as challenging as that can be.
But that’s especially hard to do on social media where there’s lots of yelling and not much listening.
