“The intersections of being LGBTQ+ and living on the streets”As we close season 3 we’re joined by Rev. Evan Smith. Evan shares his story of living on the streets of Toronto, the homeless community who supported them, and what it was like to watch the abandoned building you were living be torn down while your belongings were still inside. Evan also shares how the intersection of LGBTQIA+ youth and homelessness could keep rising if we don’t stand firmly against discrimination in the years ahead. Follow Evan's work:
