LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

through Ontario is colonized land and encompasses an array

this context, on this territory.

WELCOME

Hello, welcome to the LGBT Youthline Colouring Book. The purpose of this
colouring book was to create an interactive colouring book by 2SLGBTQ+ youth
and youth workers for 2SLGBTQ+ youth. We would like to thank all the volunteers
from the Provincial Youth Ambassadors Project (PYAP) and Peer Support who have
helped us select a theme for the colouring book, which is the ABCs of Being
2SLGBTQ+. We have asked staff, volunteers, and friends of Youthline to create
colouring pages with a word from each letter of the alphabet, and to interpret
that word in relation to being 2SLGBTQ+. We are very lucky to receive submissions
from staff members, peer support volunteers, youth ambassadors, and friends of
YouthLine. We would like to thank everyone involved for their participation and for
their engagement. We hope you have as much fun colouring these pages as we
have had creating them. Find out more about YouthLine and our programs at

Best Wishes, PYAP Team 2020

Everyone is different and that should be celebrated! THE ABCs OF
Intersectionality looks at the ways that different identities intersect to BEING 2SLGBTQ+
create unique privileges, power dynamics, and systems of oppression.

In this exercise there are three levels of petals. Inner petals are
different identifying pieces, center petals represent oppressed groups,
and the outer petals represent the dominant group. Feel free to map

out your own petals to explore your identity and privileges!

Adapted from the "Power Flower"

The term "intersectionality" was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw

QUEERPLATONIC

Queerplatonic is a term that was coined in the asexual and aromantic communities. You can find a genealogy of the term here:
https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/03/09/a-genealogy-of-queerplatonic/. Queerplatonic refers to deep, committed relationships
that blur the boundaries between romantic and platonic, or disrupt the expectations of those categories in some way. I'm so grateful to
have learned this term, because it reminds me that there isn't a right way to be queer, and I can accept and celebrate what makes me

and my loved ones happy, even if what makes us happy seems uncommon or unusual.
