as two openly 2SLGBTQIA skips played against one another today! 🥌
Proudly showing who we are on and off the ice. 🏳️🌈
No matter who you are, you can play any sport or do anything at the highest level!
I might not have the best record at the Brier, thus far in my curling career......😂
However, The “Around The Horn” from this years Tim Hortons Brier now has me into

1V1 Hall Of Fame, which is pretty bestkind!
Thanks so much to everyone for your support! ♥️🤍🖤
So when I got back to the hotel there was a great surprise for me in the lobby.
A lovely bouquet of flowers 💐 chocolates 🍫 a 😘😉 balloon 🎈& a lovely teddy bear 🧸
Whoever sent this, if you’re cute I’ll go on date with you post Covid-19! 😌
What a day folks, what a day!
I’m pretty happy TSN didn’t feature that tbh.... Lol 😂
So amazing to get to play Team Gushue and fellow Newfoundlanders & Labradorians here at the Brier.
It’s certainly an incredibly special moment for me and the team! 🥌
Such an amazing week! ♥️🖤
Anyone who is rejoicing in the death of Queen Elizabeth is truly vile.
She is someone’s family, someone’s friend & she lived a life of service that she was born into.
You can be against the monarchy and the negative impacts of colonialism and still respect someone’s death!
It's official,

@jessicalauren
Thank you so much to the Gateway Curling Club for an amazing event from the great ice to the hospitality I can’t wait to come back.
Homophobia is sadly alive and well in 2021!
Last night I was out for a few drinks and outside the pub, on George Street I was called anything from a “faggot”, “fucking queer” to “guy in leggings” (as I wore my fave black jeans).

Elated about our play here at Home Hardware Canadian Mixed Doubles Championships.
@mackmitch01
I have finished round robin with a 4-2 record and now we wait to see if we have made it into the playoffs!
So grateful to have such an amazing shooter and pal as a teammate! ♥️🤍🖤
I don’t understand the logic behind people who are discriminatory to any one or group of people. How do you get off thinking you are more of a human than anyone else!!!
Following in New Brunswick’s footsteps…
Absolutely stomach sick, I feel for the 2LGBTQIA+ community and youth in SK!
Policy like this has no place in Canada. ♥️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇨🇦
Today, Education Minister Dustin Duncan announced new consent policies for Saskatchewan schools. Parent consent for students under 16 will now be required to change a student’s name or pronouns in the school.

Went to shake a 50 year old strangers hand downtown, he said “I’m not gay.”
I didn’t know how to react but I should’ve said “I’m not ugly”
Folks! I forgot the rules to follow, if you’re LGBTQ2S+ you aren’t allowed to introduce yourself to anyone……
I’ll do better next time
Wonderful week here at 2021 Tim Hortons Brier! 🥌🇨🇦
So honoured to represent Newfoundland & Labrador with great people!
Proud of what we’ve done, grateful for what we’ve learned to make us better in the future and glad I have some memories to take with me for a lifetime! ♥️🖤

Hate still exists right in our backyard!
I don’t want sympathy or well wishes. I want you to talk to people in your networks about intolerance, hatred, and discrimination. Whether it’s homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, or hate against a religious group.
Thank you to
@BarbSweetTweets
for reaching out and doing a story on this incident.
You’re a great journalist!
I hope this opens conversations on hate and discrimination to all people, all groups and especially minorities.

You’re welcome Canada! ❤️
Well Jann,

Some delicious.

Our agenda is simple.
Equality, the ability to love loudly, live authentically, be respected and embraced and to not live in fear of persecution or hatred!
Exciting news that Dad finally gets his pacemaker today! He’s in great spirits and still cracking jokes which is good.
Thank you to all the amazing nurses, staff and doctors who have been so good to him. ♥️
Please keep Geoff in your thoughts and prayers today.

Thanks to our sponsor Sensible Gear for hooking me up with this great Come Home Year Newfoundland sayings shirt.

It’s been a great start, a lot of goals accomplished, learned tonnes, met some amazing people and had a nar bit of fun along the way!
Thanks everyone for the birthday love, so grateful for all of you! ♥️
If we want healthier Newfoundlanders & Labradorians rather than taxing soda, we should tackle the

First of all, Shoutout to the staff at Rob Roy who denied re-entry to these guys, after I told them what happened.
Surely it’s not the first time I’ve experienced homophobia and unfortunately it might not even be the last, but this is my message for the ally’s in my network. 2/
Mixed doubles is to curling what broomball is to hockey. They kind of look the same, but the differences in rules, gameplay and strategy make them entirely different sports. So, please,

Judge me if you want but I finally deleted the GOV of 🇨🇦 COVID-19 alert app.
I’ve been a close contact 10 times, still no COVID…. and I’ve found out via social media, text, call, etc
The app is pointless to me now.
Just seen a truck in front of me with a F*%k Trudeau sticker…..
Canada where have your values gone? What has political discourse become?
Why do some now love populism?
By no means am I this big Liberal, I’d consider myself a moderate but this is so revolting to see at home!!

Though this is very disheartening, obviously, and I’ve quite frankly have had it, I will continue to proudly be who I am, who I always was, and exist freely in this city as a Out Queer person!

I’m so grateful to call this colourful place home, a place rich with 2SLGBTQIA+ history, one of the earliest gay bars in the country and a place filled with queer talent.
First, I would like to thank everyone who got out and voted for me, everyone who volunteered on my campaign and my parents for all their support. I would like to send congrats to Tom Davis
I will continue to advocate for St.John’s to be a more accessible and vibrant city.
Why is love, acceptance and inclusion this controversial!

I have the same facial expression for a missed shot or people being Homophobic, Transphobic or Biphobic.
As an out queer Pansexual person, I’ve dealt with discrimination first hand. Though people say were equal, we don’t live in a world that is fully inclusive.
Strong to the finish! 💪
