Queer Connections: Cultural Transmission and Intergenerational Relationships in the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community

Forrester, Julia (2023) Queer Connections: Cultural Transmission and Intergenerational Relationships in the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community. [MRP]

Item Type: MRP
Creators: Forrester, Julia
Abstract:

Cultural transmission is the process by which cultural knowledge, norms, and values are shared, typically from one generation to the next. In cultural groups like the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, intergenerational relationships between community members may not be inherent. To understand how cultural transmission occurs within this community and the effect of intergenerational relationships, or a lack thereof, on this process, individual community members and experts working within the community were interviewed about their lived experiences and observations. The findings of the study demonstrate that intergenerational relationships are highly valued and sought out by 2SLGBTQIA+ people, but current barriers need to be addressed so they and other diverse relationships can be fostered more inclusively within the community.
