“I find Calgary a very liberal community,<br />

I know a lot of people would disagree<br />

with me but it is one of those things that<br />

have changed. When I started being in<br />

clubs, and I won’t say how many years<br />

ago, people were talking in code. They<br />

won’t come out and even say ‘gay’. They<br />

had some obscure little word; we still<br />

have a lot of the “gay” kind of words that<br />

everyone uses like ‘nellie’ and ‘butch,’ and<br />

all of that sort of thing. I mean that there<br />

was an entire dictionary when I came out<br />

of the closet and now people just come<br />

right out and say it.”<br />

—Rudy Labuhn, Gay Calgary, 2003
