Description:
Our Mission:
IN CANADA: To build a national network of groups connecting family and youth to Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transsexual (LGBT) communities for refugees and newcomers.
GLOBALLY: To be the most popular online global community connecting with thousands of visitors each month, in order to build the capacity of youth for development, artistic and media expression and involvement in global decision-making around issues that affect LGBT newcomers and refugees.
There are thousands of les/gay/bi/trans (LGBT) people around the world who are experiencing daily persecution simply because of who they are. Helping some of these people come to and settle within Canada will have an immeasurable impact on the quality of their lives.
Canadians have a lot to offer the world. We have become leaders in the field of respecting human rights, including full legal protection for sexual minorities. JOIN OUR ON-LINE GROUP as we explore the issues and develop cool programs help more people experience safety and therefore, love.
