What does it mean to be a trailblazer? This title is given to individuals who clear a path that was not there, who take risks, and show people what is possible. The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre (BCM&CC) is proud to present Trailblazers, an exhibition created by The Canadian Centre for Gender + Sexual Diversity (CCGSD). This exhibition recognizes the lives and work of 12 remarkable individuals who have acted as a voice for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and advocated for equal rights and freedoms in Canada.
2SLGBTQIA+ is an abbreviation that stands for: two-spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or sometimes questioning), intersex, and asexual, the plus-sign signifies a number of other identities and is included to keep the abbreviation brief.
