It's phenomenal that it makes it that much more accessible, where people can feel like: oh, I'm going to this event, and it's a norm. Right, you don't even have to label it sober-free, it's just a norm within that space.
Ever wondered how sobriety fits into the vibrant world of Pride events? Yami and Bailey from 'The Unanonymous Podcast' bring you an enlightening conversation with Debbie from the Ottawa Dyke March. This episode dives into the heart of creating inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ folks in recovery, exploring what true allyship looks like and how to maintain a sober-friendly environment at such lively gatherings.
Debbie shares her insights on the importance of keeping Pride events rooted in accessibility and inclusivity, rather than turning them into exclusive parties. The trio discusses the challenges of labeling events as substance-free and the impact it has on marginalized communities. They also touch on unique programs like the Waffle Branch for Bipoc and the diverse vendors at the march. If you're curious about how to foster a supportive, sober atmosphere within the LGBTQ+ community, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s not just about staying sober; it’s about thriving in an environment that celebrates every aspect of your identity.
