The West Block – Episode 16, Season 12
Up next, as mainstream representation increases, the LGBTQ+ community is facing growing threats and violence.: “I don’t think we’re as bad as the U.S., but I think…I, I really worry in Canada that we imagine we’re so different, that there’s something uniquely Canadian that protects us against this hate. I have never been as worried as I am right now about the future of 2SLGBTQ rights and acceptance in this country.
Joining me now to talk about the challenges the community is facing and where to go from here is Fae Johnstone, Wisdom2Action executive director, and drag queen Kyne, the math whiz from RuPaul’s Drag Race Canada. Thank you both so much for joining us for this discussion.Mercedes Stephenson And I know that this has been a year where you’ve suffered from so much hate directed, Fae, as a trans person. When you look at this year, what are the concerning factors for you and what do you feel are sort of the things that bring hope?: You know, I think the concerning factors are that we’ve seen an unprecedented raise in anti-2SLGBTQ hate and associated hate crimes all across this country. For the first time in my adult memory, I look and I see drag events that are being protested.
