Through weekly drop-in sessions, the Rainbow GPS project will be a learning space for people to explore themes around sexuality, gender identity, coming out, consent, dating and relationships, and body image. The objectives are to LEARN different concepts and themes, APPLY key learning outcomes, and SHARE personal or lived experiences. Through these objectives (learning, applying, and sharing), the Rainbow GPS Project aims to explore various LGBTQ+ identities that are specific to East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures and how those LGBTQ+ identities are being translated to Western society. The project focuses on LGBTQ+ resources in the Greater Toronto Area, but people can register from across Canada. Starts at 1:00pm to 3:00pm every Saturday starting January 23rd to February 20, 2021. All five (5) workshops are held through Zoom: January 23: Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) 101 January 30: Coming Out to Myself February 6: Sup? Looking?: Navigating the online world of queer dating February 13: I am My Body: Consent, body image, and desire February 20: I got it! Attitudes and Behaviours to STIs and Testing Contact Bryan Quinones (acasrainbowgps@gmail.com) to register. *(Due to the unprecedented events that was caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the sessions will be happening online via zoom. This allows the program to be available for other LGBTQ+ newcomers and international students who may not be physically living in Toronto.) The Rainbow GPS Project is funded by Community ONE Foundation

Open to all LGBTQIAP+ Asian folks! Come join us for our January game night, where we'll be playing Drawful 2 together! Saturday, January 30, 6pm-8pm EST Zoom link will be sent closer to the event date. Description: Get out our phones, tablets, and mice for this fun drawing game! Drawful 2 is a silly game where we draw based on prompts and caption other players' drawings. So long as you have a phone, you can connect to the game using a code that will be generated on game night. Even if you don't play, you can listen to us chill and have fun! If we surpass 8 people, we can switch out players or even go into breakout rooms to have two separate games. We hope to see you there! This event is made possible thanks to the support of United Way GTA #LocalLove Funded by the Government of Canada.
