“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
