Screenshot of a HikeNS Facebook post: "Sunday was a beautiful day for the Pride Hike at Hemlock Ravine in Halifax. We had 55 folks on this “Out n’ Aboot” hike. MEC Halifax were awesome leaders and had the best trail treats: delicious affogatos made using camp gear! Thanks everyone for a great day!"
Why are LGBTQ+ people more likely to be lonely? LGBTQ+ people are more likely to be lonely than cis-het people. This loneliness can stem from a variety of factors: we’re more likely to be disconnected from our families, or have problems finding other people like us who we can connect with.. LGBTQ+ people are also more likely to face discrimination due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, which can lead to feelings of isolation and difficulties getting close to other people. Older LGBTQ+ people may experience heightened loneliness and feelings of disconnection from a queer community that’s increasingly centered around young folks. That is, older queer folks may no longer want to go to LGBTQ+ clubs, bars, pubs, etc., but find themselves unable to find a replacement community where they can connect with their peers.
