PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Interesting history...
If you were asked to name a Canadian city with a rich queer history, would you think of Winnipeg?
If the Manitoba capital doesn't quite top your list, the latest episode of The Secret Life of Canada — The Golden Boy —just might change your mind. Co-hosts Falen Johnson and Leah Simone-Bowen dig deep into the University of Manitoba's Gay and Lesbian Archives to unearth some truly amazing material, including a "green book" style guide to gay Winnipeg.
They also explore the history of the city's queer spaces, interview historians and trailblazers, and reveal how the winged Greek god perched atop the Manitoba Legislature became a beacon for so many gay men.
