How Did We Get Queer?

Seeing Queerly: The Early Days (Pt 1)


Listen Later

It’s #Pride2021 and HDWGQ is back with new episodes in a new format! We’re trying something a little different and we hope you like it! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be launching three shorter episodes, all focused on the issue of queer representation in media -- why it’s important, how it’s changed over time and what makes for good, genuine queer characters.

In our first episode, hosts Isaac and Thomas will take you back to the early days of queer representation in Canadian film and television, in the 1970s and 1980s, and discuss the ways in which that history is relevant to queer media today and in the future.

Special thanks to our guest for this episode, Chris Vogel. Chris was a founding member of the Winnipeg Gay Media Collective and host of its local-access cable TV show Coming Out! Which ran from 1980 to 1994.
