We Demand and Lesbians In The Military - Pt.4

from Queer Legends: An Oral History Podcast · host Shawn Dearn

Canadian queer resistance emerges in the 1970s and puts a spotlight on the injustices facing gays and lesbians. This caused further police, military and government crackdowns on queers across Canada - particularly in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa in the lead up to the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Lesbians in the Canadian Armed Forces were "walking a tightrope" over the perils of sexual violence by servicemen and discovery of their sexual orientation.
