  <description>This week, as we continue to celebrate Pride Month, we are sharing the second part of a panel interview we did with a university student group that promotes Sexual and Gender Diversity. The stories that this trio of young adults shared with our organization about discovering their individual identities and the journeys they’ve walked are very powerful and we hope that you are as moved by their journeys as we are. This episode does contain content related to different forms of hate, discrimination, and violence that our panel guests may have experienced that may be triggering for some listeners. Please take care of yourselves and skip through the podcast as needed, and do not hesitate to connect with ONTX or one of our Member centres to chat about how the episode made you feel.
