Queers Were Here
Queers Were Here | Richard James Gilmour, Robin Ganev
5 posts | 1 read | 13 to read
In the twenty-first century, Canada has a reputation for being one of the most gay friendly nations on earth, a pioneer in legalizing same-sex marriage and home to enormously popular Pride parades. Yet Canada was not always so hospitable to its gay and lesbian citizens. Homosexuality was only decriminalized in Canada in 1969 and remained socially stigmatized for many years. Queers Were Here will tell personal stories to illuminate the enormous social changes that have transformed sexuality in Canada. A celebration of queer identity, this book will look back in order to look forward. The book will appeal not only to GLBT audiences but also to anyone who wants to re-examine Canada's history and culture with fresh eyes.

"So death stalked us. So what? There was a bottomless 48-ounce bottle of vodka in the freezer and laughs to be had."
This book isn't widely known, I found it at a little indie store in Calgary, there are different essays that are varied in their writing skill, some are very good some not at all - which always makes rating a book difficult overall pick this up if you see it but don't go out of your way to find it.
I do love the cover though.
