“Bless Our Lucky Stars!” is a storytelling horoscope series where the Celestial Council of Queerious Aunties– Sun, Moon, and Terry (short for “the Terrestrial Planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars”) give you some gay-lactically unsolicited advice. Feel free to read both your Sun and Rising signs, and (like any words that come down from a council of aunties) only heed what works for you, and smile and nod your way through the rest!

n the 80s and 90s Kind Space, then Pink Triangle Services, asked community members to submit their recommendations of service providers or community spaces that were gay-friendly. We know there are many service providers, organizations, and businesses in the National Capital Region that are 2SLGBTQ+-affirming and liberation-minded then we could possibly collect as a single organization.

The oldest of its kind in Canada, Kind Space is fiercely proud to house this “more than fabulous” resource centre. Our library was named in 2002 in honour of Dr. Kelly McGinnis, an active member of the Ottawa-Carleton HIV Primary Care Group, and renowned in the queer community for his help during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s. You can learn more about Dr. McGinnis here.

Dr. McGinnis had a steadfast commitment to the queer community and to Kind Space (formerly Pink Triangle Services). For that, we will always honour him.
