Yukon's federal candidates surveyed on issues impacting 2SLGBTQ+ people
CBC
Queer Yukon has released results from a survey that asked all the territory's federal candidates about issues impacting the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
The 10 questions were answered by all five candidates, and covered wide-ranging topics such as housing insecurity, policing and prisons, conversion therapy, and refugees in Afghanistan.
The survey was compiled by members of the organization's board of directors, including Mona Luxion, who is the board's president.
Overall, they said the organization was impressed with how thorough each of the candidates were with their answers.
"We really appreciated the time that they put in and the thoughtfulness," they said.
"I think it's really notable that our community is getting this much attention from candidates because that really hasn't always been the case."
Luxion said it was really encouraging to see that each candidate expressed the need for increased mental health support and services in the territory.
