This <strong>book</strong> is a small sample of Calgary’s LGBT history, both past and<br />
present. Much of the research for this project came from Calgary’s Queer<br />
History Project, Gay Calgary Magazine, news articles, as well as a few<br />
conversations with members of Calgary’s LGBT community.<br />
Through the 80’s, 90’s and up until the early 00’s Calgary had a variety of<br />
gay bars to choose from. Fast forward to today and the gay bar scene<br />
looks like a ghost town. New clubs open their doors but only seem to last<br />
a few short years before closing them. Part of the problem may be that<br />
younger generations of the LGBT community have grown up in a more<br />
accepting society. They no longer need an LGBT space to feel safe. There<br />
is very little fear of being outed or getting fired. This is not to say todays<br />
world is perfect, it still has a long way to go, but it’s much more relaxed<br />
compared to 10–15 years ago.
