Think Queerly

Interview with Michelle Douglas, Executive Director, LGBT Purge Fund


Listen Later

We start at the very beginning: why she decided to join the Canadian Military. 

Douglas shares her story of what that was like, falling in love with another woman in her unit for the first time, being honourably discharged, and what happened after. Ironically, Douglas worked for the Canadian Department of Justice for many years, while working in advocacy to keep the government accountable. 

Douglas explains how in 2016, survivors of the LGBT Purge launched a nationwide class action lawsuit against the Canadian government. She was approached to manage the resulting settlement fund reached in 2018, and the rest is history.
