Episode 5 now streaming!

The 1980s were a pivotal decade in Canadian politics and history, including key battles for q***r liberation and rights.

You’ll hear about former MP Svend Robinson’s efforts to get homosexuality into the Canadian Human Rights Act and protection under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms; the military and RCMP efforts to undermine the Charter rights of their members; and a straight Commanding Officer who defended his top-performing soldier from multiple SIU investigations. A young Queen Elizabeth II also has a few things to say in this episode!

Featuring: Martine Roy, Steven P. Deschamps, Patti Gray, Diane M Pitre, Lynne Gouliquer, Claude Lemieux, Svend Robinson, and Dave McMahon. | Previews: Michelle Douglas & John McDougall

Some personal news...

I am pleased to share that my series Q***r Legends: An Oral History Podcast won 'Outstanding Documentary' at the 2023 Canadian Podcast Awards last night (Dec. 29).

It was an honour to be nominated, but winning is an unexpected surprise and it feels great.

A lot of effort and love went into creating the series, which I couldn't have done without the encouragement and ongoing support of my amazing husband and executive producer, Ian Capstick.

I especially want to thank all of the wonderful people who agreed to come on the show to share their stories and perspectives with me and with listeners.

Season 2 is in production now. It will launch with a landmark, 8-part documentary and education toolkit about Canada's LGBT Purge. We can hardly wait to share it with you.
