#21 - LGBTQIA+ in Disasters: An Introduction (Mr. Kevin Blanchard)

Abstract:

Today’s episode kicks off our special Pride Month series, where we shine a light on the experiences and challenges that LGBTIQA+ people face in the context of disasters and emergencies.

Pride Month is observed every June in many parts of the world, is more than a celebration. It’s a commemoration of struggle, a tribute to courage, and a call to action. It began in honour of the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when gay and trans people, stood up against police violence and systemic injustice. Since then, Pride has grown into a global movement advocating for equality, safety, visibility, and dignity for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions.

Yet when disasters strike, whether natural hazards, pandemics, or conflict, these identities often amplify vulnerability. Barriers to accessing aid, unsafe shelters, discrimination from responders, invisibility in data, and the erasure of chosen families are just some of the challenges LGBTIQA+ people face.

In this episode, we provide an introduce the topic of LGBTIQA+ people in disasters.
