Lethbridge	[Aug. 2nd, 2009|11:26 am]Calgary GLBT
Hi!My name is Jory and I go to college in Washington state in the US, but my girlfriend and I are driving there from Minnesota because we're looking for camping and adventure and all that good stuff.We're coming up to Lethbridge on the 11th of August, probably mid-day and staying the night, camping in Henderson campground.We're both artists, in one way or another, and would really love to see some of the underground in Lethbridge. Whether that's a house show or a punk concert or a cool radical gallery or even if some rad people are having party or going out to a bar. I don't really care, much, I feel like it's only an adventure when I let it come to me rather than ask specifically for something.So if you want to show us around town, or have some suggestions of things to do/places to go/people to see, let me know :) They can be queer-related, but it's not entirely necessary.This is a picture of Emma and I, I'm the one looking at the camera:

Diversity Lesson 101: LGBT/Queer Little People	[Dec. 23rd, 2008|12:31 pm]Calgary GLBT
Little People like LGBT people are considered "freaks of nature", they get stares and people misunderstand them. In looking for resources for Little LGBT People, I found virtually nothing. I decided, to make an entry to educate people about little people as well as provide as much info as I can for LGBT Little People. It is my sincere hope that LGBT Little People can find solace, comfort and community and that they can begin to network and build a foundation and support system for their own sub-section of the community.For more info and resources on LGBT Little People, check out:http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2008/12/diversity-lesson-101-lgbtqueer-little.html
