Opinion: People can't neatly be categorized by gender, sexuality It's time to break free of wrong assumptions about binaries; everyone should feel loved and supported for who they are. Marjorie Rabiau, Special to Montreal Gazette
Pride season fills me with nostalgia from听joyous memories with friends as well as听an indescribable sadness. Several years ago, a good friend of mine committed suicide. Despite being in a very loving long-term relationship and adored by his friends, he expressed being unable to听shake a feeling of not belonging. I vividly remember a conversation during which he expressed the internal distress he felt about being a gay man,听fuelled by judgment from society and his culture.
Congratulations to Professor Michael J. MacKenzie, newly appointed Professor
