Lets get creative!

The Status Quo and Queer Representation

LGBTQ Representation in media has come a long way in the past few years. It has led some people to question if LGBTQ folks are even still oppressed. Spoiler alert, LGBTQ folks are still oppressed. Discuss with us in this chat about how the status quo benefits from conditional Queer representation. 

Exploring our Identities

Join Qchat facilitators Theo and Camille for a discussion about our identities and what makes us, us!

Youth-guided chat

Hang out with Q Chat Space friends in a chat that is determined by YOU! As always, facilitators will have back-up ice breakers and games if people are feeling more low-key.

PARA ESPAÑOL: ¿Los villanos de Disney son tan homosexuales?

Español

En este Q Chat discutiremos la codificación queer de los villanos de Disney a lo largo de los años y finalmente haremos la pregunta: ¿Por qué los villanos de Disney son tan gay? Todo para discutir la representación queer en los medios, hasta dónde hemos llegado y qué progreso podemos esperar.

Queerness & Disabilities

PARA ESPAÑOL: El status quo y la representación queer

Español

la representación LGBTQ en los medios ha avanzado mucho en los últimos años. Ha llevado a algunas personas a preguntarse si las personas LGBTQ todavía están oprimidas. Alerta de spoiler: la gente LGBTQ todavía está oprimida. Discuta con nosotros en esta charla sobre cómo el status quo se beneficia de la representación queer condicional.

PARA ESPAÑOL: Momentos conscientes: Navegando el estrés

Español

Esta sesión no se trata de evitar el estrés por completo, sino de empoderarte para enfrentarlo con confianza y gracia.
