#OwnVoices — but on their own terms - The Gateway
No one owes you their sexuality. Sexuality is dynamic, it’s confusing, and it can be emotionally draining for so many people. But, when it comes down to writing fiction it begs the question: can “straight” authors write queer characters? This is a super tricky question — however, this is the wrong question to be asking in the first place. This year, Becky Albertalli, author of Simon VS. The Homo-Sapiens Agenda, published an essay where she came out as bisexual.

SU candidates offer different solutions on online proctoring
This article expresses opinions based on The Gateway Forum of the Students’ Union 2021 Election on February 23, 2021. You’ve heard the words online proctoring and Smart Exam Monitor (SEM) probably everywhere you go this year. Whether it be news websites, social media, or online forums, it’s a hot topic that is at the centre of this year’s Students’ Union elections.
Winter patios are a great way to keep businesses open
2020 has changed a lot of things, but one thing we never expected it to change was patio season. Traditionally, patio season is those two (or, in Edmonton if we’re lucky, three) months of the year where the weather is above 20 degrees and we grab our chilly margaritas on Whyte and admire a lively section of our city. Due to COVID-19 safety regulations, patios also became one of the safer ways to support the local restaurant industry in the summer.
Marble Pedestal: Schitt's Creek & Canadian TV
If you haven’t watched Schitt’s Creek yet, what are you doing? Seriously. Schitt’s Creek is Canada’s gem that is finally getting recognition — seven Emmys worth of recognition. The CBC, Canada’s own network dedicated to media from our home, produces the show. A Canadian television show, especially one with a healthy and mature gay relationship, sweeping the Emmys means more than just bragging rights for Canada’s television industry.

Out of all the decisions the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to make, one remains hotly contested: choosing Zoom or Google Meets for your next online meeting. Read our writers’ take on which video-calling service reigns supreme! Zoom When the pandemic struck, panic ensued for students everywhere. Were we going to have class?

Marble Pedestal: Essential workers
Hey, you! One of the many essential workers who has the misfortune of dealing with the general public during a global crisis. You deserve better. I want to take this time to say two words that you don’t hear enough — thank you. Grocery store workers — when the world came to a halt on March 11th, you didn’t. You kept marching on. While the public was scrambling, you had to have it all together for them.

Eating Edmonton: Sugarbowl Café
My friend Téa and I have had a list of restaurants to go to for about a year now. Considering school work has been beating both of us down and an unfortunate lack of a compatible schedule, we’ve pretty much only been able to go to one restaurant on said list. When the opportunity to review a restaurant came up, the Sugarbowl was the first place I thought about going.
