Introducing... Queer in the North! 🌈

We are a podcast that amplifies the rich and diverse stories of 2SLGBTQ+ seniors in Northern Ontario. Our goal is to shed a light on the unique experiences and wisdom of individuals whose stories have often been overlooked.

So much of Northern Ontario's queer history hasn't been documented but lives in the stories and memories of 2SLGBTQ+ older adults. Join us as we explore the vibrant tapestry of identities, challenges faced, and triumphs achieved by our extraordinary Queer elders!

 Welcome to Queer in the North, the podcast that amplifies the rich and diverse stories of 2S-LGBTQ+ seniors in Northern Ontario.  My name is Kyelle Byne and I'll be your host as we embark on a journey of discovery, resilience, and celebration, shedding light on the unique experiences and wisdom of individuals whose stories have often been overlooked.

So much of Northern Ontario's queer history hasn't been documented, but lives in the stories and memories of 2SLGBTQ+ older adults. People who have lived through challenges and changes in queer culture in recent decades, spearheaded incredible campaigns of advocacy and allyship, and driven so much of the work that has led to the current state of 2SLGBTQ+ culture in the region. 

Together, we'll explore the vibrant tapestry of identities, challenges faced, and triumphs achieved by our extraordinary queer elders.  Get ready for an insightful and inspiring series that aims to bridge generations and foster understanding in the heart of Northern Ontario. This podcast is supported by Taking IT Global and the Sprout Ideas Fellowship Program.

Queer in the North is a production of the Northern Ontario Pride Connection. An organization dedicated to fostering allyship and understanding for 2SLGBTQ+ people and allied leaders and businesses across all of Northern Ontario.
