U R Pride: the Successes in the Queer Community

On November 20, Lisa Smith, Executive Director of the U of R Pride Centre gave us a short chronology of milestones in the History of Gay Rights beginning with the interesting fact that in Canada's early years after Confederation, Homosexuality was punishable by death.   Improvements have been gradual but constant from that time on.  Lisa also outlined the work done by the U of R Pride Centre to support gay students.  She also commented on the spectrum of sexual and gender preferences that have always existed in the population.
