Happy New Year, Calgary Gay History Project readers!
Shawn Dearn, a Montreal-based investigative journalist and historian, is the creative force behind Queer Legends: An Oral History Podcast. The series just won the Outstanding Documentary award at the annual Canadian Podcast Awards.
Shawn was interested in the story of Everett Klippert and recently interviewed Kevin Allen from the Calgary Gay History Project for the pod—check out their conversation: here.
Queer Legends is about the people who built the rainbow, created space and held their own! The series has featured: Margaret Cho, Jane Rule, former MP Svend Robinson, queer historian Sarah Worthman and many more. One reviewer calls Queer Legends “binge-worthy.”
We at the Calgary Gay History Project hope you discover even more queer history in 2024!
