Queer voices and visibility in hostile times

June 3 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Kick-off Toronto Pride season by joining us for a powerful evening of conversation and storytelling at a live recording of Journalists for Human Rights’ (JHR) podcast, in partnership with Dignity Network Canada, CUPE, and Pink Triangle Press:

Queer Voices and Visibility in Hostile Times

Date: Tuesday, June 3rd

Time: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM (Live recording + reception)

Venue: Allied Music Centre Theatre, 23 Shuter St, Toronto, ON M5B 1T6

​This special episode will examine the media’s critical role in shaping public understanding of LGBTQ+ rights—both in Canada and globally—at a time of rising anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.

Featuring guest speakers:

  • Kevin Mwachiro – Renowned Writer, Podcaster, Journalist, and Queer Activist from Kenya
  • Tara-Michelle Ziniuk – Managing Editor, Xtra
  • Lisa LaFlamme (moderator) – Canadian journalist and host of the JHR Podcast

​Together, these voices from journalism and activism will unpack how global and local challenges intersect, where media coverage falls short, and what responsible, inclusive reporting looks like today.

​A reception will follow the discussion—connect with community, continue the conversation, and enjoy refreshments.

RSVP today secure your seat for this vital and timely conversation.
