    Episode 2: Queerious Queers Episode 2: Ace/Aro Identities
    Aug 21 2022
    Welcome to Queerious Queers - a podcast for 2SLGBTQ+ youth by the 2SLGBTQ+ youth at QYAC. It is a fun and positive discussion/panel format that focuses on celebrating queer and trans folks and their identities! We are the Queer Youth Action Committee, QYAC, a team of queer and trans youth ages 24 and under. QYAC is one of the youth action committees of the Youth Services Bureau in Ottawa. We aim to educate, uplift, and bring together 2SLGBTQ+ youth in Ottawa. The creation of this podcast was made possible thanks to a grant from Youth Action Now.  We believe it's important to support queer and trans youth, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to expose yourself to their content and learn about their experiences. We find that a lot of queer content is focused on negative experiences such as discrimination. While this is an important aspect of queer expeirences, we wanted to create a space that shares our positive experiences.  We are doing giftcard giveaways on our social media as a part of this initiative!  Check us out at:  Instagram.com/qyac.ysbFacebook.com/qyac.ysb

    Welcome to Queerious Queers - a podcast for 2SLGBTQ+ youth by 2SLGBTQ+ youth. It is a fun and positive discussion/panel format that focuses on celebrating queer and trans folks and their identities! Queer Youth Action Committee (QYAC) is a team of queer and trans youth ages 24 and under - we aim to educate, uplift, and bring together 2SLGBTQ+ youth in Ottawa. This project was funded by the amazing folks at Youth Action Now! QYAC also works with the support of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa! It's important to support queer and trans youth! One of the easiest ways to do that is to follow content that is created by them. We find that often a lot of queer content is focused on our losses, it's also important to focus on our victories! And that's what this podcast is all about! Plus, we have some pretty awesome PRIZES!!! On today's episode, we are learning the experiences of two trans/gender diverse youth! We're going to talk about gender euphoria, our favourite trans celebrities and more on this very first episode of Queerious Queers!
