Supporting diversity and those on gender journeys, local pride group The Coast is Queer is hosting a free clothing event with gender-affirming styles.
Co-founder of The Coast is Queer, Ash Horner, spoke to CHLY about the event and the importance of people going on their gender journey.
Horner Told CHLY about their own journey with gender and how it took them 43 years to finally take the time to find out what gender means to them. They said they hope this event will give transgender and non-binary people a safe space to get new clothing that reflects their authentic selves.
After only starting three years ago hosting more events for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Nanaimo, The Coast is Queer, along with the First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo is hosting a clothing event to offer a safe space for transgender and non-binary people to find new gender-affirming clothes.
