"As an ice dancer, and especially as a queer person growing up that didn't know she was queer, seeing different stories represented and different partnering, different types of identities on the ice, would have been very liberating to me."

Kaitlyn Weaver, reacting to the excellent Skate Canada policy that ice dancers or pairs team can now be composed of any two athletes. That’s just wonderful news!

“I don’t support people that don’t have room in their hearts for my son,” said Marc Savoie.

Savoie, who has been vice-president of the association for five years and interim president since June, informed the riding association on Sunday of his decision.

“I can’t support my son and support (Higgs) at the same time. It doesn’t align with one another,” said Savoie, who added he plans to remain a member of the party in general.

“So I’m at peace with my decision. My family comes first, and that’s what it is. That’s where I am.”

A new book, published earlier this fall, documents Newfoundland and Labrador's queer history, highlighting those who helped push the queer movement across the province, country and the world. Author Rhea Rollmann, who spent years compiling more than 150 interviews and pieces of archival material through her journalistic reporting, told CBC News she created A Queer History of Newfoundland to fill in that work and document a history that has largely been unwritten. "It's hard to describe just how powerful it was. I knew we had a powerful queer history, but I didn't know just how deep it was," Rollmann said Tuesday.

Kindness will not dismantle white supremacy. There is no getting around the demanding and delivering of justice that will ensure the liberation of our communities. What happened in Colorado is yet another horrific reminder of how the ongoing slaughter, displacement, and violence on Queer / Trans communities directly resulted from white supremacy attempting to eradicate us for our existence. My heart is so heavy right now after reading the horrific news. I couldn’t stop thinking that the very few limited safe spaces within a heteronormative society are constantly under attack by right-wing conservative groups. These hateful ideologies are spread by misinformation and other tactics used to invalidate our existence. It’s not enough to say you are an ally for our communities. It’s the bare minimum to not be silent on acts of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. As someone has experienced gun violence, it changes the way you navigate the world, the way you speak to people, and the constant threat of having to turn around in case someone walks behind you with an armed gun. Our existence is more than enough in the fight for Queer and Trans liberation where we are constantly being attacked, criticized, or even met with death because of the way we live. Say it for what it is and that dismantling white supremacy is environmentalism. I want it all gone, not just for me but for all those who are constantly under the threat of being met with violence for their identities. My Queerness is a heritage that cannot be taken away and I will not lose hope in this battle against white supremacy.

"Before 1492, hundreds of Indigenous communities across North America included people who were called aakii''skassi, miati, okitcitakwe, or one of hundreds of other tribally specific identities. These individuals identified as neither male nor female, but both. After European colonizers invaded Indian Country, centuries of violence and systematic persecution followed, imperiling the existence of people who today call themselves Two-Spirits, an umbrella term that started being used in 1990, when a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Natives met at an annual gathering, searching for language that would celebrate Indigenous diversity throughout North America. They decided on Two-Spirits, which is derived from the North Algonquin word niiz manidoowag and denotes the existence of feminine and masculine qualities in a single person."

Louis Roe, for Reclaiming Two-Spirits: Sexuality, Spiritual Renewal & Sovereignty in Native America, written by George D. Smithers.
