The Sexual & Gender Diversity Office (SGDO) is launching a new weekly in-person discussion program for Fall 2022 semester. Queer and Trans Connections (QTC) runs Thursdays, 3pm-4:30pm. See the calendar below for details.

QTC is open to all University of Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ and questioning students. This program will provide an opportunity for 2SLGBTQ+ and questioning students to explore identities, look at a range of 2SLGBTQ+ issues through an anti-racist, multi-dimensional lens, share personal and community experiences, examine current events, and connect with peers. Each week will feature a new topic and sometimes a guest facilitator.

Examples of topics include “Navigating spaces on campus as a 2SLGBTQ+ person,” “Racism and colonialism in the 2SLGBTQ+ community,” “Representation in media,” and so much more. Join the conversation and share your thoughts, experiences and questions at QTC!

No registration required. Meet at the front 21 Sussex Ave (the corner of Sussex Ave and Huron St), where the SGDO is located, and we will walk into the building together. If you are late, please come to the 4th floor of the building. Masks are encouraged for this program, and the SGDO will have some medical masks for those who require.

About the building:

21 Sussex Avenue is called “Sussex Court” on the interactive campus map.

The 4th floor of 21 Sussex Avenue is an accessible floor. There is a wheelchair lift from the street level to the first floor that requires assistance.

Ring the bell and Campus Police will assist you. If you feel more comfortable, call the SGD Office [(416) 946-5624] and we will be happy to assist as needed. From the first floor, there is an elevator to the rest of the floors. Touch buttons are available to open the doors on the first four floors of the building.
