Queer West Motto – Building a Community Strengthening the City

80446257shOUT’s mission is to achieve respect and equality within a supportive environment, it responds to the needs of the Parkdale neighbourhood and the broader Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTTQ) communities in queer west Toronto Ontario.

Queer West’s vision; is a community that promotes positive attitudes and eliminates discrimination toward people of all sexual orientations; Inspires change through positive educational effort. Provides social, recreational and cultural opportunities for our members and the larger community.

The shOUT!  Forum helps queer youth and young adults by exposing them to healthy lifestyle choices through an educational public discussion. Understand, accept, and celebrate their sexual orientation; overcome obstacles; make healthy choices about relationships and sex; and participate in the Toronto gay and lesbian community.

shOUT free’s your mind! Once a month Young  Queer Adults will leave our forum with new things to think about and a growing sense of community. And that’s really the goal.

Note Bene: 

Since this is a public forum.   Everyone,   is welcome to participate regardless of age. Considering the nature of the program–i.e., dealing with mature topics that are pertinent to Young Queer Adults to be discussed in a relatively sophisticated manner, it is geared more or less for the Late Teens and 20 Something age bracket.
