Queer in the North is 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!
