We are pleased to announce the 2013 release of the Queer Ontario Pressing Issues Survey, which we will be using to get a sense of the pressing issues affecting LGBTQ* people across the province; and to compare the 2013 issues with the issues that were provided in 2012.
.
This will serve a number of key research functions, not the least of which is the consideration of the input of the over 200 individuals who have joined our network since the fall of last year; and the identification of ‘continuing’ issues vs. issues that were included because of their ‘hot topic’ status.
.
If you have any questions whatsoever, do not hesitate to contact us at info@queerontario.org. We will be more than happy to answer them!
.
Looking forward to serving you better,
.

The Queer Ontario Steering Committee

About the Survey
.
The survey itself consists of five questions, which should take approximately 3-10 minutes to answer. Online and Word (.doc) versions, in both English and French, can be found here: http://queerontario.org/surveys/pressing-issues-survey

Queer Ontario recognizes the need for accessible information, including having documents available in languages other than English. We have reproduced the survey in French, upon request. Queer Ontario will make every effort to provide translations of our documents, upon request, and when possible, based on the availability of volunteers to do the translation and ensure that it is accurate.
.
* Note:  For the purposes of this survey, ‘LGBTQ’ will refer to individuals who are marginalized because of their sex, gender, and/or sexuality. This includes, but is not limited to: individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transsexual, transgender, genderqueer, agender, two-spirited, cross-dressing, intersexed, neutrois, asexual, pansexual, polyamorous, kinky, and/or nudist. This survey is also open to allies who can assist us in our work.
.
We know that forms of oppression based on sex, gender, and/or sexuality cannot be seen in isolation from other forms of oppression, so we encourage their joint articulation as well.
