  1. Canada's new asylum law leaves 2SLGBTQ+ claimants fearing deportation

    "Joshua Eisen, in-house counsel at Toronto's FCJ Refugee Centre, is one of several experts who presented before Parliament, calling for exemptions. 'It's just so hypocritical that at a time where Canada has this self-image of championing this liberal global order … we're introducing this extremely draconian legislation,' Eisen said."

  8. Happy to see that Prime Minister #MarkCarney is recognizing the importance of being an #ally and supporting #2SLGBTQ+ people across #Canada.

    Here is hoping that everyone has a safe and enjoyable #Pride season where they can be themselves and find support from their community. #LoveisLove 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

  9. I will be going to London, UK and Paris, France from mid-to-end of August to speak at a conference and do some research for my PhD:

    Does anyone have good suggestions for queer archives, design, or textile-related things to check out in and around those cities?

    #TwoSpirit and #Indigiqueer communities mourn #nonbinary teen's death in Oklahoma

    'Something that affects one of us affects all of us,' says Jade Lacosse

    Edzi'u Loverin · CBC News ·

    "Members of the two-spirit, Indigiqueer, and Indigenous #transgender communities are mourning the death of a non-binary 16-year-old teen in Oklahoma earlier this month.

    "#NexBenedict died the day after a violent confrontation in a high school bathroom in Owasso, Okla., near Tulsa. Owasso police said in a statement preliminary autopsy results indicate the teen did not die as a result of injuries sustained in the fight.

    "Benedict's mother is enrolled with the #ChoctawNation of Oklahoma and the school where the incident took place is located within the #CherokeeNation reservation. Benedict's family said Benedict experienced #bullying from their classmates due to their gender identity.

    "The story has sparked cross-border reaction from #2SLGBTQ+ community members, reflecting on their own experiences as well as the current climate for #IndigenousYouth.

    "'Many of us are in mourning,' said Jade Lacosse, an Anishinaabe and adopted Tlingit two-spirit trans woman in Whitehorse.

    "'This was a young child that very few of us were directly connected to but they're still a relative, they are still a two-spirit relative in the way that our community sees things. Something that affects one of us affects all of us.'

    "Lacosse said the statement from police appears to be about placing blame rather than taking responsibility for discrimination.

    "'A young two-spirit child, one of our relations, died … and it's a direct result of #transphobia," Lacosse said.

    "'The way that they died doesn't change that.'"

  18. The Department of Education is opening an investigation into #Owasso Public Schools where student #Nex #Benedict, a member of the #2SLGBTQ community, got in a fight with several other students the day before they #died, according to a letter from the agency obtained by ABC News.
    The investigation follows a complaint from the Human Rights Campaign alleging that the District discriminated against students by failing to respond appropriately to sex-based #harassment at Owasso High School during the 2023-2024 school year.
