Canadian Queer History
First in Queer Canadian History
Most queer history makers don’t even recognize in the moment that they are in the midst of a momentous moment. They were fighting for their rights to be equal in our society. Others may be lost to time as much of our histories were never recorded or considered important enough to be saved. These moments have shaped our community into what it is today and many of these have helped increase representation across all sectors or been fought for a better quality of life for our community.
Explore the firsts in the history of queer Canada.
Please Note: We have tried our best to bring you what we have found in our research to be the first known moments of queer history. If you are part of our living history and know something that isn’t reflected here, please reach out to us! Our queer history folks would love to chat with you.
