HAPPY PRIDE MONTH DRAGONS! In this video Keith (he/him) talks about the biological attributes of being part of the LGBTQ+, specifically that of trans and intersex folks, as well as how LGBTQ+ folks are treated in the health care system. Bethune college recognizes the negative impact of LGBTQ discrimination in the healthcare system and as the future of healthcare, we hope to recognize our own prejudice and work to build a more inclusive healthcare system. #pridemonth [Alt text is available in the description]

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH DRAGONS! In this video Gemner (he/him) talks about mental health within the LGBTQ+ community. At Bethune college, we believe that as an institution of higher education, we have an obligation to show leadership in areas where the general public may lag behind. In addressing the issues of gender and sexuality, we cannot let controversy or inflexible opinions deter us from raising awareness and promoting understanding. We must set a precedent for the rest of society by recognizing and celebrating our diversity as one of our greatest strengths. [Alt text is available in the description]

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH DRAGONS! In this video Adaeze (she/her) talks about intersectionality between being a POC and part of the LGBTQ+ community. At Bethune College, we take intersectionality into consideration when having a conversation about queer folk. We recognize all the discrimination LGBTQ2SIA+ folks receive, and how it is amplified when they are people of colour. No member of our community should ever feel any less than their peers due to sexual orientation, gender identity, culture, religion or race. [Alt text is available in the description]
