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: https://t.co/j8eqDe8We4

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: https://t.co/gXBDMerQzN

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" https://t.co/u0EE2enM94

Pride/Swell+ Day 1: lots of intergenerational adorable-ness & solidarity building & poutine 🌈🌈🌈

[Casey Burkholder @CM_Burkholder]

I'm excited for a wonderful weekend, making #art & community with @SwellPride: #2SLGBTQI+ folks from across #AtlanticCanada. We've got 3 public facing events for any folks in #Fredericton who would like to join! They are all free, all-ages & masked. Please join us! <3

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."

[Pride_Swell @SwellPride]

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. 🌈🌈🌈

[Casey Burkholder @CM_Burkholder]

Inspired [email protected]' 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: https://t.co/cliIrtj0LK ❤️

[Casey Burkholder @CM_Burkholder]

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?

So much #queerjoy in standing with #community against #transphobia & #queerphobia in #Fredericton this morning. 🌈🌈🌈

[Pride_Swell @SwellPride]

#Trans rights! #Canada wide!

Join us tomorrow in #Fredericton as we join the #counterprotests. DM us for details on where & when we’ll meet up. ❤️❤️❤️

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: https://t.co/dHaxe51ITo

[Momentum @queermomentum]

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.
