television shows, movies, books, and other forms of media. How are these depictions detrimental and

and misbeliefs? Why isn't it canon? A workshop where we divulge into queer culture in the media.
S1 |Putting “Unity” in Community| Youth
Your identity is multi-faceted. These various aspects of your identity impact your experiences in the
world and shape who you are. Some of these identities give us privilege, others oppression. This

involved in having different kinds of sex, how to talk about STIs and safer sex, and how to use barriers

LGBT Canadians that come from immigrant families. Many LGBT newcomers face cultural and practical
barriers to integrating in Canadian society. This integration then becomes even more complex with the
addition of the familial/cultural stigmatization that's still felt based on their sexual orientation and/or
gender identity. We will highlight and identify the intersectional strains that many face between culture,
sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and race. By understanding and being aware of these
challenges, we will better learn how to provide a supportive and accepting atmosphere on that basis.
