WORKSHOP THREE
homo sweet homo: queer- and trans-positivity in collective houses.
Saturday, March 10 2012 
afternoon 2:30 - 5:30
What does it mean for a house to be queer- and/or trans-positive?
What might it look like to be an ally through a housemate's transition? What does "gender balance" in a house mean when gender is complicated? Explore these questions and more, and help to create a toolkit on gender and sexuality to take back to your house and community. 

Email us for location details (it will be provided when you register).  
NOTE: Location is fully accessible including washrooms.
Facilitator bios:

Vancouver Collective House Network



A loose network of people who live in community, or who are interested in living in community. Members host quarterly gatherings and potlucks, and occasionally organize workshops and discussions.

The Network serves to connect members, to affirm common values, and to learn from experience within the community. The Network hopes to demonstrate to others that Collective Living is achievable and rewarding.
