Mental Health: An LGBTQIA+ Insight - An open and honest conversation about MH in our community

Stigma is a funny word and an odd concept. How does a word, a phrase or even a state of being have a whole “aura” around it that means that it’s not to be spoken about, or can go on having such a ‘stigma’ without being challenged?

What's the history of the word 'Queer' and should we still use it?

Throughout history and through etymology, words and their meanings shift dramatically, due to a result in the changes in social and political climates that they’re being used in. This is common, especially with words that have developed through the 18th century. Due to the complexity of the English language and the fact that ‘Queer’ is an adjective, the meaning of the word was dependent on the…
