If you or anyone you know has questions about LGBTIQ experiences, language or resources, that they want to ask in a safe, non-judgmental environment but don't feel comfortable entering an LGBTIQ support service, then come and have an informal chat with Zara during LGBTI Q-Time.
Thorne Harbour Country is working with Bendigo Library to deliver ‘LGBTI Q-Time’ - a safe space for all people to ask questions related to gender identity, sexual orientation, LGBTIQ language and information.
Thorne Harbour Country will be at Bendigo Library from 10AM-12PM on the first Monday of every month, and available for people who want to:
- drop in to learn more about LGBTIQ+ communities,
- become better allies,
- ask questions they may be apprehensive about asking at larger events,
- learn about how to better support their LGBTIQ+ family member, colleague, or friend.
Servicing the Loddon Mallee region, Thorne Harbour Country is an extension of Thorne Harbour Health (formerly the Victorian AIDS Council) and provides information, counselling, and referrals to health and wellbeing services to LGBTIQ+ people and people living with HIV.
“We’re partnering with Bendigo Library to create a welcoming and safe opportunity for anyone in the community to ask questions, access resources, and discuss their experiences - regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation,” Damien Stevens-Todd is the Thorne Harbour Country Program Manager.
