While there is a Gender Sexuality Alliance at his school, Three Oaks Senior High, Steeves was afraid of putting himself out there in a place someone could potentially overhear.
Hannah Barton, youth program coordinator for PEERS Alliance, was excited that a new office in Summerside meant an opportunity to create a drop-in space for queer youth in the city. – Kristin Gardiner There is also a shelf in the office with pamphlets to educate people on topics such as sexual orientation and gender identities. Barton also plans to add more queer resources to the collection, including books.
The space opened for drop-ins in September, and is currently running Monday and Tuesday from 3:30-5:30 p.m.For Steeves, the teenage years are a time of vulnerability, and “so many sleepless nights on Google searching up ‘what am I?’” For Aidan Steeves, it's great to have a space where he can go after school where he's comfortable being himself and can ask questions. – Kristin Gardiner
