  • On International Day of Older Persons, Egale Canada and The
    On International Day of Older Persons, Egale Canada and The 519 Call for Immediate Action and a Commitment to Improve the lives of Older and Ageing LGBTQI2S People in Canada Toronto (October 1, 2018) – Today, on International Day of Older Persons, Egale and The 519 are coming together to mark the occasion by shedding light on the unique issues impacting LGBTQI2S seniors across Canada. More than that, Egale and The 519 are using the occasion to host a Call To Action signing ceremony in the Ballroom at The 519 to encourage the Canadian government, as well as others, to recognize the needs and hear the voices of older and ageing LGBTQI2S people. By signing the International Older LGBTQI People Call to Action, developed by Egale alongside the International Federation on Ageing (IFA) and SAGE USA, governments and industry leaders will be pledging to acknowledge that we can do more and we can do better to support older and ageing LGBTQI2S people in Canada. There is no doubt that throughout Canada we recognize older and ageing people as being marginalized - older and ageing people face issues of abuse, homelessness and poverty among other challenges. It is less often that we focus on the additional unique issues and barriers impacting older and ageing LGBTQI2S people. Due to a lifetime of experiencing different forms of oppressions including homophobia, heterosexism, transphobia, biphobia, sexism, racism, and ageism, older LGBTQI2S people are less likely than heterosexual and/or cisgender (non-trans) peers to access support from non-LGBTQI2S health service providers, and other types of social support programs.

  • Marks the 519 Church Street Community Centre
    Safety Audit Report Card Date: October 15, 2008, 6:30 to 8:00 pm Area Audited: Church Street (Charles Street East-Wood Street; Gay Village) Ward 27, Toronto Centre-Rosedale Neighbourhood 75, Church-Yonge Corridor The Community Safety Audit was organized by the Anti-Violence Program at the 519 Church Street Community Centre. Seven people ages 25 to 60+, participated in the safety audit walkabout and completed the surveys; the participants represented community agency staff and members of the neighbourhood. The audit was led by Howard Shulman, the coordinator of the Anti-Violence Program at the 519 Community Centre. The group conducted a safety audit of their neighbourhood because volunteers at the 519 have done audits in the past and found them to be very effective tools for addressing community safety. Additionally, the Anti-Violence Program had not conducted an audit in many years. Howard had attended a METRAC training session in the spring of 2008, and there was a lot of interest from volunteers. The Church-Yonge Corridor is a very unique neighbourhood in downtown Toronto. Since the 1950’s, it has been known as Toronto’s ‘Gay Village’ because of the concentration of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer) social spaces, services, and businesses. It is celebrated as a politically active & strong community, which has provided a safe space for LGBTQ cultures and people to thrive. The neighbourhood is predominantly single people in their 20’s and 30’s, the majority of whom live alone. It is not as culturally or racially diverse as many other neighbourhoods in Toronto, with only 34.6%1 of people in the area identifying as visible minorities.

  • The Politics of (In)Visibility
    The Lesbian Lives Conference 2019: The Politics of (In)Visibility THE POITICS Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender & The School of Media University of Brighton 15th - 16th March 2019 Welcome! The organising team would like to welcome you to the 2019 Lesbian Lives conference on the Politics of (In)Visibility. The theme of this year’s conference feels very urgent as attacks on feminism and feminists from both misogynist, homophobic, transphobic and racist quarters are on the rise both here in the UK and elsewhere. It has been thrilling to see the many creative and critical proposals responding to this coming in from academics, students, activists, film-makers, writers artists, and others working in diverse sectors from across many different countries – and now you are here! We are delighted to be hosting the conference in collaboration with feminist scholars from University College Dublin, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge and Maynooth University. It is - what we think - the 24th Lesbian lives conference, although we are getting to the stage where we might start losing count. Let’s just say it is now a conference of some maturity that remains relevant in every age, as the world’s most longstanding academic conference in Lesbian Studies. What we do know is that the first ever Lesbian Lives Conference was held in 1993 in University College Dublin and has been trooping on since, with the dedication of academics and activists and the amazing support from the community. From this comes the unique atmosphere of the Lesbian Lives Conference which is something special – as Katherine O’Donnell, one of the founders of the conference, said: ‘there is a friendliness, a warmth, an excitement, an openness, a bravery and gentleness that every Lesbian Lives Conference has generated’.
