About this Course

Queer community members, parents and allies are all welcome to take part in this crucial workshop presented by pflag York Region. The workshop will address the resurgence of transphobic and other anti-lgbtq2+ rhetoric and policymaking across the country; and focus on policy and statements rooted in deceptive reasoning as they twist the facts and appeal to a parent/caregiver’s worst fears to justify discriminatory positions against transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse community members. The workshop will also challenge how we confront sources of disinformation and consume news content today. We all have a part to play to ensure we recognize facts as facts and understand how and where we consume news shape how we navigate our daily lives and make decisions which impact everyone in our communities. This workshop is brought to you in collaboration with pflag York Region, Richmond Hill Public Library, Newmarket Public Library, King Township Public Library and Markham Public Library. Zoom link will be emailed to registrants two days prior to program start.
