Check out a new article from members of the @SwellPride research team in @Gender_Journal ! In it, we wonder: How might #collage-production mobilize #gender #euphoria and #QueerJoy? And what can it look like when queer joy fails? Read it here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Amelia & Linsay are amazing community organizers who do so much for the #Fredericton #2SLGBTQ community. They consistently give time, resources, energy, generosity. It is an important time to show up for Amelia & Linsay. See more: gofundme.com/f/help-our-frie…

Join us tonight #Fredericton! @SwellPride is hosting a free, dry, masked #intergenerational Halloween Dance with #ElderPride. There will be prizes for costumes! I’m going as 70s Elvis. We’ll also be sharing an exhibit of images from a week in our #queer lives. 🌈🌈🌈

My @TorontoStar op-ed with @KristopherWells on the @NHL's @PrideTape ban. "When Pride symbols are denied a visible presence in the NHL, so is queer joy. The message these bans communicate is that being gay is not OK, which contributes to ongoing prejudice" tinyurl.com/8m2z2p73

We are so excited to share Symone’s example of this month’s photo prompt: “A week in our #queer lives: Capturing the ups & downs.” "A week in my life coincides with my holidays. I get a break from my colonized version of a work life and get time to reconnect with the land."

Happy thanksgiving, Pride/Swell! Making art & community with you all (together & at a distance) is queer joy in action. Tomorrow, we’ll share images from a week in our queer lives, but today, we just want to say thanks. For everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Had such a lovely lunch hour: talking about supporting #queer & #trans youth in #NewBrunswick schools amidst the #policy713 (& #SexEd) revisions & making #collages with @UNBFFacultyofEd students. 🌈🌈🌈

Inspired by@allos.abis' IG activism (in response to a @TorontoStar article sharing what is taught in ON #SexEd), we at@sexualitynb created a resource to show what happens in middle school (Grade 6-8) sex ed curricula in #NewBrunswick. See more at: sexualitynb.org ❤️

Inspired by @allos.abis' IG activism (in response to a @TorontoStar article) in sharing what is taught in ON sex ed, we at @sexualitynb have created a helpful guide to explain what is taught in NB sex education curricula. What do high school students in NB learn about sex ed?

We know how important it is for kids to be supported at school. That’s why we’re sounding the alarm about Premier Higgs’ new policy that discriminates against trans students. Send Higgs a letter asking him to stop making life harder for trans kids: momentumcanada.net/safeschoo…

Alongside local advocates like @NbChroma and @imprintyya, we are sounding the alarm. Changes to Policy 713 will force kids to come out at home before they’re ready or be forced back into the closet at school. No one should be pushed out of the closet. momentumcanada.net/safeschoo…
