<div>There is a pressing need for more 2SLGBTQ+ support in the tightly knit community of
</div>
<div>South East Manitoba. Not only is there lacking support but also a concerning absence of
</div>
<div>education or even resources for those struggling within the community. This missing
</div>
<div>understanding is damaging to those struggling with their identity. There are few safe,
</div>
<div>non-judgemental, places for such youth and adults.
</div>
<div>Though places such as Steinbach Neighbours, Steinbach Regional Secondary School’s
</div>
<div>GSA, and Backstage exist, this excludes individuals. Steinbach neighbours is a support group
</div>
<div>only for parents with children in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The school’s GSA is only for
</div>
<div>students attending the SRSS. And Backstage is associated with christianity (which can trigger
</div>
<div>past trauma in individuals) and is only for youth. It has become clear there is a need for
</div>
<div>something else
</div>
<div>As a support group that emphasizes confidentiality and anonymity, we want to create a
</div>
<div>safe place for people in the community to be themselves and to contemplate their identities. We
</div>
<div>want to combine the model of Backstage, and the SRSS’s GSA, along with introducing
</div>
<div>accessible information and education. Unifying the Steinbach community by giving voice to the
</div>
<div>LGBTQ+ population will allow both communities to thrive and at the least, coexist
