In this podcast series, Fierté Montréal embarks you on a journey across Quebec to meet people from our communities living outside major urban centers.
Through several conversations, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the struggles, the stories, the demands and the realities of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
Please note that episodes 1 to 9 are only available in French. Episode 10 takes place in English.
In this first stop on our journey through queer Quebec, we visit the Saguenay, Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Outaouais regions to learn more about gender identity, access to trans-affirmative care in the region and the people who use it.
With :
- Madame Claude Amiot (Director, Entraide Trans Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean)
- Carl Giroux
- Julie Fortier et Zoé Gagnon (partners in the Coalition d'aide à la diversité sexuelle de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue)
- Amélie Sauvé, sexologist
In this episode, we visit the Outaouais, Centre-du-Québec, Montreal and Quebec City, where we explore the importance of nightlife to the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities through the taverns and speakeasies that helped people meet and discover their identities.
With :
- Érik Bisson (Youth Director Idem)
- Tara Chanady (Director of the Quebec Lesbian Network)
- IGAnne (Bar Le Drague)
- Guy Lapolice, owner of l'Antre-Ouvert inn and Maxx nightclub
In this latest instalment of our journey through queer Quebec, we look at the many alternatives available to 2SLGBTQIA+ people to reach out to communities: from the virtual world in the comfort of our own homes to the introvert's nightmare, the outside world.
With :
- Érik Bisson (Director of Jeunesse Idem)
- Tara Chanady (Director of Réseau des lesbiennes du Québec)
- Marie-Claude Joannis (Diversité KRTB)
- Miko et Boud (Magazine Aranéides)
Our journey through queer Quebec stops at the office, as this time we take a look at safe workplaces for people of sexual and gender diversity: how to be more inclusive, avoid microaggressions and exist in heteronormative environments without being told you're good... for a girl.

We continue our adventure through queer Quebec, but this time at full gallop, as we cross manure, cattle and wheat fields to meet Quebec's agricultural pride.

- Joé Desjardins & Michel Desrochers (Fierté agricole)
- Stéphane Lambert, former dairy farmer
- Frédérique Leblanc-Piette, agriculture student
- Sammuel Tanguay (Maraîchers de l’or vert)
A journey through Quebec's 2SLGBTQIA+ realities wouldn't be complete without a visit to the queer artistic universe. In this stop, we explore Quebec's effervescent queer artistic scene, from the Gaspé Peninsula to Montreal, via the Lower St. Lawrence!
With :
- Agnès Gaudreau Saint-Laurent
- Miko and Boud (Magazine Aranéide)

Queer territory also includes family and, of course, chosen families. In this new stage of our journey through 2SLGBTQIA+ Quebec, we look at these concepts and what they mean for 2SLGBTQIA+ families, ranging from same-sex couples to trans grandparents.
