It's no secret that Newfoundland, during the millennium, was not the most incredible place to grow up gay. While the province had undoubtedly evolved through the years, many of us were left with a bitter taste in our mouths, Itching for the day we could leave the island and never look back.
But running away doesn’t solve your problems; years of unwarranted mental and physical abuse had lasting effects on any person. It’s been over a decade since the last of our generation bid farewell to Newfoundland’s education system. And now five of us speak about those experiences. Where did Newfoundland go wrong? How did its education system foster an environment so detrimental to our personalities and formative years? And what, can Newfoundland do better?
This is Growing Up Gay in Newfoundland. A series that highlights the struggles of gay youth in Newfoundland during the millennium.
