What does it mean to grow up trans in a rural town? To move from Toronto to a small community in Manitoba? To start a queer ice hockey tournament on the Sunshine Coast? To be the first out queer man that your new friend knows on a first-name basis?
Queer Country Crossroads is an anthology of nonfiction stories and poems written by and for rural 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. Fifty writers, poets, and artists from across Canada share personal stories that explore themes from coming of age and isolation to community and home. Each person’s story is unique: some reflect on growing up in rural settings while others describe their experiences of moving to the countryside later in life. Together, these voices offer diverse perspectives and insights into the strengths and hardships that come with living at the intersection of being rural and queer. Queer Country Crossroads serves as a beautiful reminder of people’s resilience, love and strength.
Mabe Kyle will also share the background of our art display, a queer community quilt project from their area in Ontario!
