#1 Bestseller in Local Canadian History!
There have always been queers in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The powerful story of queer community-building and activism in Canada’s most easterly province has never been told in comprehensive book form – until now. A QUEER HISTORY OF NEWFOUNDLAND provides an unprecedented glimpse into this important history and the people and organizations that drove Newfoundland and Labrador's twentieth century queer liberation movement.
Part community oral history, part archival study, A QUEER HISTORY OF NEWFOUNDLAND chronicles the fight for human rights protections, AIDS activism, the growth of the vibrant queer bar scene, lesbian struggles for space in the feminist movement, trans struggles for recognition and health care, and more. It showcases the important activism that helped overcome ignorance, bigotry, repressive laws and traditions as well as geographic barriers in the fight for equality and rights. The story of the queer liberation movement in this province is one of great pride and joy; one of hardship and struggle; and ultimately one of triumph.
Why? Because: There have always been – and always will be – queers in Newfoundland and Labrador.
