QT2SBIPoC Meet & Eat! This was an event which was held by The Gilbert Centre. They prepared really good food and they were very generous toward people who joined this event. I've learnt several new terms, such as pronouns(How people want to be called. It might be she/her/they/them, or they/them), two-spirit, indigenous(naturally existing in a place or country rather than arriving from another place). Although this was an interesting event, I thought it wasn't suitable for us. This group was gathering for Black, indigenous, people of colour/racialized people that were also part of the LGBTQQI2SA+ community to share the intersecting experiences of racism, homophobia, colonialism, transphobia and to build community. Nevertheless, we just arrived in Canada. We haven't related experience which could be shared in this group yet. Though we hoped to meet some Barrie local LGBT friends. Unfortunately, there were only four people came from Barrie, and two of them were Kim and me. There was a woman whose nephew was an LGBT. She just came for trying to know more about this community. The other person we might not match with him. Other people in the group were friends of the GC worker. They didn't live in Barrie. They just came from other places to support this group. Anyway, this event lets me think about organizing a local LGBT community in Barrie. That should be fun, haha.

QT2SBIPoC Meet & Eat!

This is an event which was held by The Gilbert Centre. They prepared really good food and they were very generous toward the people who joined this event.

I've learnt several new terms, such as pronouns(how people want to be called. It might be she/her/they/them, or they/them), two-spirit, and indigenous(naturally existing in a place or country rather than arriving from another place).

Although this is was an interesting event, it's not suitable for us. (consider: "we didn't really fit in" or "we didn't share much in common with everyone there")

This group was a gathering for Black, indigenous, people of colour/racialized  people (consider: "racial minorities") that are also part of the LGBTQQI2SA+ community to share the intersecting experiences of racism, homophobia, colonialism, transphobia and to build community.

Nevertheless, we just arrived in Canada. We haven't related experience don't have any similar experiences which that could be shared in this group.

Although we hoped to meet some Barrie local LGBT friends, unfortunately, there are only four people come from Barrie, (consider: "there were only four LGBT people from Barrie at the event") and two of them are were Kim and me myself. There is an aunt was a woman whose nephew is a LGBT. She just came for trying to know get to know more about this community more. The other person maybe we were not in tone with him (consider: "And as for the other person, we didn't feel much of a connection"). And all of the other people in the group, they are friends of the GC worker. And they are not from Barrie.

Anyway, this experience makes me think up to I should organize a local LGBT community in Barrie. That should be fun, haha.


Pretty good! And, good luck with finding some more LGBT people in your city :)
