The Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario: The Fight for Queer Recognition

This exhibition provides an overview of the history of the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario (CLGRO), an organization active from 1975-2010. The focus of the exhibition is on CLGRO's largest projects including "sexual orientation" as a protected class in the Ontario Human Rights Code, gaining legal recognition of LGBTQ+ relationships, and educating the public.

Bisexual Activism in Toronto, 1980s-2000s

This exhibition highlights various manifestations of bisexual activism and community building in Toronto from the late 1980s to the 2000s. Through the formation of support groups that were established in the late 20th century, the materials in this exhibition will demonstrate how bisexual activists combatted invisibility within the larger queer community and created safe, affirming spaces in which bisexual people could come together.
