Anti-homophobia & anti-transphobia

Anti-homophobia & anti-transphobia Homophobia and transphobia affect many students while studying at a college or university, and remain pervasive forms of discrimination on campuses and in communities across Ontario. Whether in overt forms, such as bullying, or covert forms such as heteronormative and gender-normative language, these forms of discrimination affect queer and trans people on a daily basis. Working provincially to create campuses that are free from all forms of discrimination is essential to creating barrier-free education.

Provincial anti-homophobia and anti-transphobia campaigns and initiatives are developed and guided through the work of the Federation's Queer and Trans Constituency Group and the Queer and Trans Commissioner. The Queer and Trans Constituency meets at general meetings of the Federation and is made up of self-identified queer and trans student representatives. The Constituency reviews motions, develops campaigns and provides safe space for queer and trans students to discuss issues of relevance to the Constituency.
