Queer Here, Queer There

EPISODE SUMMARY In the last episode of Queer Here, Queer There, Noah uncovers the messy world of heritage preservation and who determines what gets to be saved. David Rayside, the former director of the Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto, and Ken Lustbader, the co-director of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project contribute decades of activist knowledge to the conversation. EPISODE NOTES Thank you again to David and Ken for contributing their insight and experience to this episode, it was a pleasure speaking with them! As part of my fellowship this summer, I wrote a policy brief that addresses the HSMBC's shortcomings when it comes to historic preservation of queer heritage, you can check it out on the SCSC website here.

EPISODE SUMMARY For the first episode of Queer Here, Queer There, Noah dives into the history of queer spaces in Montreal. Tune in for the stories of how parks have played a vital role in Montreal's queer scene, of Montreal's two Stonewall-esque moments, and of the evolution of Montreal's three gay villages. EPISODE NOTES Queer spaces do not have a widely accepted definition, but most consider queer spaces to be places where queer people are accepted, safety and security is at least somewhat ensured, and they act as sites of community building and social interactions amongst queer people.
