14: Gay Alliance Toward Equality - 1131 Richards St - Vancouver Gay Walking Tour (sitios de interés)

Descripción del sitio

Continue south down Seymour St to the corner of Helmcken, then turn left and walk a block east to Richards St. The Gay Alliance Toward Equality's (GATE) first office opened here, on the southwest corner of Richards and Helmcken, in June 1971.

GATE was part of an "international, militant civil rights movement, organizing gays to come out and fight back," says former member Don Hann. Throughout the 1970s, GATE organized protest after protest, pulling gays and lesbians into the streets to not only protest state harassment and discrimination, but to build a sense of community identity in the process. It also published its own newspaper, GayTide. The group disbanded in June 1980.
