BlackOUT! brings together LGBTQ African Nova Scotians with Dr. Clemon George, an HIV/AIDS activist and educator, to discuss how heterosexism and racism affect LGBTQ people of African heritage.
BlackOUT! explores the proposition: “In order to offset the impact of HIV in the Canadian African Diaspora communities, we need to address homo/transphobia in those communities, as well as the lingering effects of racism in the LGBT community.”
Introductions and moderation by Halifax lawyer Catherine Meade.
Panelists:
Robert Wright, social worker in Halifax
Chris Cochran (Elle Noir), performer and activist in Halifax
Dr. Clemon George, HIV/AIDS activist and educator
