These Rights Are Precarious: A History of LGBTQ+ Liberties
Listen now
Description
It’s Pride month! So we’re taking you back to notable moments in Canada's 2SLGBTQ+ history, so we can remember the people and work that can have made Canada the place it is today.  The history of LGBT rights in Canada is not as simple as pride campaigns, parades and vibrant gay villages. It’s a history of resilience, courage, and a determination to redefine what it means to be free and equal in this country. Increasingly, we can’t take these rights for granted.  Host:  Mattea Roach Credits: Aviva Lessard (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor) Guest: Brenda Cossman Background reading: TIMELINE | Same-sex rights in Canada - CBCListen: Trans scholar and activist explains why trans rights are under attack - The Conversation Remembering the 1981 Toronto bathhouse raids | Queer History - XtraTrack Two - Enough is Enough The Pussy Palace was more than the raid - Xtra Sponsors: Canva, Better Help, Athletic Greens If you value this podcast, Support us!
