Associate Professor Jen Gilbert spoke with Breakfast Television Toronto to discuss how pride has changed this year due to the pandemic. “Online programming could increase accessibility for youth who may not live in Toronto and have access to the in person festivities,” she said.
Gilbert also suggests that LGBTQ youth reach out to their support network. "It's important for young people to have supportive caring relationships with non-family members," says Gilbert. "It's really important to maintain these networks."
