Understanding the past can help us understand the present. Join Tom, our resident historical storyteller, in unearthed stories of queer pioneers! Stories of same sex relationships, stories of gender-bending and gender-challenging, and even a few stories of Depression era movies and books available in Alberta with strong queer themes.

History always changes as we gain new understanding and find new stories from the past.

Meet rock-climbers, roustabouts, and lovers in dangerous times. .
