Everyone Is Gay
Everyone Is Gay works to improve the lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning/Queer (LGBTQ2S+) youth using a three-pronged approach: providing honest advice to these youth while keeping them laughing; talking to students across the country in an effort to create caring, compassionate school environments; and working with parents of LGBTQ2S+ kids to help foster an ongoing dialogue and deeper understanding.
It Gets Better Project
The It Gets Better Project was created to show young LGBTQ2S+ people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach – if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBTQ2S+ community that they are not alone — and it WILL get better.
I'm From Driftwood
I’m From Driftwood aims to help LGBTQ2S+ people learn more about their community, straight people learn more about their neighbors and everyone learn more about themselves through the power of storytelling and story sharing. Increasing empathy and empowering individuals is accomplished by creating an apolitical forum for LGBTQ2S+ stories from every age, race, gender, background and culture. The stories featured on the website deepen our understanding of each other, preserve history, and open hearts and minds.
My GSA
MyGSA.ca is Canada’s website for safer and inclusive schools for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning (LGBTQ2S+) community. Whether you’re LGBTQ2S+ or not you’ll find something interesting and helpful on the site. Join the discussion, get the resources you need, and spread the word!
