Equality and Pride for Indo-Caribbeans (EPIC)
This is EPIC.
Launched on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, (IDAHOTB) 2022, our organization initiative is dedicated for LGBTQ2S+ Indo-Caribbean people. Proudly presented by the Indo-Caribbean Canadian Association.
On a day established to take a stand against violence, hate, and discrimination directed toward people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, or expressions, we are proud to launch a standalone initiative by a Canadian Indo-Caribbean organization specifically dedicated to supporting a safe space for Indo-Caribbean LGBTQ2S+ community members.
Join us as we come together as allies and LGBTQ2S+ community members, to listen, share experiences, break down barriers, and celebrate love in all forms.
On National Coming Out Day (Oct 11) in 2023, EPIC released the first edition of A Coming Out Guide for Canada's Indo-Caribbean Community. A resource tool for queer and questioning individuals along with their loved ones. We encourage you to review this guide and share it.
