About Us – Queering Cancer

There are major disparities in cancer support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or two-spirit (LGBTQ2+) people. Queering Cancer (QC) provides online resources for this community. We are a partnership between people with cancer experience, researchers from the University of Alberta, University of the Fraser Valley, and Queen’s University supported by Bird Communications.
