7 h. ago Toronto's first pet funeral home offers unique way to say goodbye

On top of the agonizing, can't-eat, can't-sleep grief that comes with losing a beloved pet, trying to navigate the next steps only deepens the sorrow.

In a humble, single-chair barbershop on Toronto's Danforth Avenue, haircuts are becoming moments of personal affirmation for queer and transgender clients. The Queer Barber is a QTBIPOC-owned (acronym for Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) barbershop founded in 2022 by E (who uses all pronouns). The space was created with the singular purpose of offering gender-affirming haircuts in an environment where QTBIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals can simply exist without explanation or fear of being misread. "I wanted to create the kind of space I never saw in the industry. One where queer, trans, and QTBIPOC people could walk in without bracing themselves," E told blogTO, whose background consists of barbering, psychology, community care, and now social work. The shop owner is currently completing their Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto, and says everything they're learning, from trauma-informed p...
