Losing a partner is unimaginable. Being denied the gift of that loss helping others through organ & tissue donation because you’re gay adds to that pain. For @XtraMagazine I talk to Liam’s family about his life & about what needs to change. xtramagazine.com/health/tiss…

‘Robbed of the legacy he wanted to leave.’ A gay man’s family fights for the right to donate organs...

Despite being in a long-term, monogamous relationship, Liam Dee’s dying wish to become a tissue donor was deemed “high-risk.” He’s not the only one

At Prides, are politicians party crashers or welcomed VIPs? With Pride season around the corner and some Pride orgs already uninviting politicians, for @XtraMagazine I write about the history of elected officials attending these protests-turned-festivals xtramagazine.com/culture/dp-…

An article I wrote that comes with a callout for Canadian LGBTQ2S+ orgs looking for funding, with a deadline of May 9💰 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

This week, Minister Marci Ien announced funding for targeted supports for racialized trans people and addressing anti-gender hate on post-secondary campuses. Some advocates think more should be done. @KevinHurren reports: xtramagazine.com/power/fundi…

Six months into the historic plan, some are still waiting for more concrete commitments

UPDATE: at tonight’s consultations on Hanlan’s future the City announces they’re dropping the proposed “permanent event space” from the Toronto Island master plan. This is following what they call an “overwhelming response” from the community. Background: xtramagazine.com/culture/han…

Event planners can still book events at Hanlan’s, but they’ll continue to be required to bring their own power generators, porta potties, etc. The City promises to embark on a special “events strategy” for the island to figure out which events should get permits.

Why I love writing for @XtraMagazine: we’re not the first to cover the “what” of Hanlan’s proposed future, but they gave me space to talk about how this could uniquely impact queer & trans people & why a small slice of Toronto Island is so important. Read: xtramagazine.com/culture/han…

For #WorldAIDSDay, I write in @XtraMagazine about how 2+ years of the pandemic delayed HIV testing for many -- putting people at greater risk and making it harder for Canada to reach its HIV target goals. Take a read: xtramagazine.com/health/hiv-…

On World AIDS Day, advocates hope the Canadian government will address the pandemic-caused backlog in testing that’s putting communities—especially young queer people—at risk

Check on my latest article on injectable PrEP! 👇🏻💉
Xtra@XtraMagazine5 Oct 2022
As effective and revolutionary as oral PrEP is at reducing the risk of contracting HIV, it just isn’t getting to the people who need it most. Could injectable PrEP change that? @KevinHurren explores: xtramagazine.com/health/inje…

Can injectable PrEP live up to the hype? | Xtra Magazine

Following years of oral PrEP’s slow uptake, a new innovation is generating excitement around the highly effective drug
