Positive Space 2

The Positive Space program offers visibility and support to 2SLGBTQI+ communities. Positive Space stickers posted at the entrance to work, living, or study areas, and on personal belongings such as backpacks or laptops, encourage the Queen's community to celebrate the gender and sexual diversity that exists on campus and to work to overcome subtle and overt forms of discrimination and harassment.

Participants help to create positive spaces at Queen's by avoiding making assumptions about anyone's sexual orientation or gender identity and by signaling that all are welcome. When asked, participants offer information and support (not counselling). Participants are familiar with queer issues, local resources, and discrimination policies.

Though Positive Space focuses on sexual and gender diversity, it strives to account for many different intersecting forms of discrimination, and supports anti-oppression work in its many manifestations at Queen's.
