Title A name given to the resource David Kelley (1951-1996) Description An account of the resource Born in 1951 in Aylmer, Quebec, David Kelley began working for the Ottawa Youth Services Bureau upon graduation from Carleton University in 1972. It was at the bureau, in 1977, that he met Tom Stewart, the man who would be his life partner for 19 years. Upon moving to Toronto, David worked professionally with a myriad of organizations, including Central Toronto Youth Services, the Ministry of Community and Social Services, the Ministry of Health's AIDS Bureau, and the People With AIDS Foundation (where he spent a year as Executive Director). As a volunteer he was an integral part of a staggering number of organizations, both as a founder and participant: Coalition for Services for Gay and Lesbian Youth, Gays and Lesbians in Health Care, Toronto Area Gays and Lesbians, the HIV Mental Health Group, the United Way, AIDS Committee of Toronto, and Positive Youth Outreach. With Tom, he founded a Gay Men's Couples Support Group, and a Gay & Lesbian Bridge Players Group. As a volunteer with the Lesbian Gay Community Appeal, he was an early supporter of the Appeal's Fruit Cocktail productions, and performed in four of those productions as The Apple. David Douglas Kelley died of AIDS on April 25, 1996. In keeping with his generosity and unrelenting support to the community, he bequeathed money to the Toronto Counseling Centre for Lesbians & Gays, which merged with the Toronto Family Services Association, and now offers services to the gay, lesbian and HIV communities known as the David Kelley Program. It is a wonderful and fitting tribute to his life and work. Né en 1951 à Aylmer (Québec), David Kelley a commencé à travailler pour le Bureau des services à la jeunesse d'Ottawa après l'obtention de son diplôme de l'Université Carleton en 1972. C'est à ce Bureau, en 1977, qu'il a rencontré Tom Stewart, l'homme qui devait devenir son partenaire pendant 19 ans. Une fois installé à Toronto, David a œuvré de façon professionnelle auprès d'organismes tels que Central Toronto Youth Services, le ministère des Services sociaux et communautaires, le Bureau du SIDA du ministère de la Santé et la Fondation de People With AIDS (où il fut directeur général pendant un an). En tant que bénévole, il a été intimement associé à une foule d'organismes, soit comme fondateur, soit comme participant, notamment : Coalition for Services for Gay and Lesbian Youth, Gays and Lesbians in Health Care, Toronto Area Gays and Lesbians, HIV Mental Health Group, Centraide, Comité du sida de Toronto et Positive Youth Outreach. Avec Tom, il a fondé un groupe d'appui pour les couples gais et un groupe de gais et lesbiennes jouant au bridge. Son rôle de bénévole auprès de Lesbian Gay Community Appeal l'a amené à appuyer dès ses débuts les productions d'Appeal's Fruit Cocktail et à jouer le rôle de La Pomme dans quatre de ces productions. David Douglas Kelley est mort du sida le 25 avril 1996. Conformément à sa générosité et à son appui continu à la communauté, il a laissé une somme d'argent au Toronto Counseling Centre for Lesbians & Gays, qui a fusionné avec Toronto Family Services Association et qui offre maintenant des services aux communautés de gais, lesbiennes et personnes atteintes du VIH. Ces services portent le nom de Programme David Kelley, un hommage bien mérité qui souligne sa vie et son œuvre.

Title A name given to the resource John Alan Lee (1933-2013) Description An account of the resource John was born in Maxville, Ontario but was a Torontonian since his boyhood days. John’s contribution to our gay and lesbian heritage spanned four decades and encompassed many roles. He was a pioneering activist, a tireless organizer, an inspiring writer, an out teacher, a dedicated volunteer and an articulate spokesperson for the community at a time when ‘going public’ was rife with risk. In the sixties John published articles in the early Toronto gay periodical TWO and was the “gay sociologist” published in the Toronto Telegram, protesting their coverage of the gay “sick world”. He was the first Canadian professional to come out publicly on TV (The Judy LaMarsh Show, Valentine’s Day 1974) John organized and was the first chair of the Gay Academic Union in 1975. Later the group changed its name to LGAS and ran programs at the U of T for the next decade . A Quaker, he had civil disobedience training, and organized a successful gay sit-in of the chief law officer of Ontario, and a gay Kiss-in in the Ontario Legislature . Following the notorious 1981 Toronto bathhouse raids, John served as chair of the Right to Privacy Committee. For four decades John was a prolific author of books ands scholarly articles on gay life. His works brought discussion of gay and lesbian issues to the forefront of mainstream media. He published nine books and more than three hundred articles, and appeared more than fifty times on television. His works range from The Colours of Love (A Psychology Today book) published in 1976, to his autobiographical Love’s Gay Fool (www.johnalanlee.ca) John ran for office in Canada’s Parliament, and served on the executive of many organizations including trade union and socialist groups, anti-war movements, the Canadian Sierra Club, and the local Amnesty International. He retired from the University of Toronto where he was a professor of sociology. In personal life, John followed the advice of the ancient Greek poet, Homer: “Let love be the business of our lives.” (2005 Induction Statement) Né à Maxville (Ontario), John vit à Toronto depuis son enfance. Sa contribution à notre patrimoine gai et lesbien couvre quatre décennies et englobe plusieurs rôles. Il est tour à tour militant pionnier, organisateur infatigable, auteur stimulant, enseignant hors du placard, bénévole dévoué et porte-parole articulé de la communauté à une époque où « s’afficher » rime alors avec risque. Dans les années 1960, John publie des articles dans TWO, un périodique gai de Toronto, et est le « sociologue gai » publiant dans le Toronto Telegram pour protester contre la couverture du « monde malade » gai. Il est le premier professionnel canadien à faire sa sortie à la télé, durant le The Judy LaMarsh Show, le jour de la Saint-Valentin, en 1974. John organise et préside la Gay Academic Union en 1975. Le groupe devient plus tard LGAS et offre des programmes à l’Université de Toronto pendant une décennie. Un Quaker formé à la désobéissance civile, il tient avec succès un sit-in gai au bureau du Procureur général de l’Ontario et un kiss-in à l’Assemblée législative. Après les fameuses descentes dans les saunas de Toronto en 1981, John préside le Right to Privacy Committee. Pendant quarante ans, John publie livres et articles académiques sur la vie gaie. Ses travaux placent la discussion des questions gaies et lesbiennes à l’avant-scène des médias de masse. Il publie neuf livres et plus de trois cents articles, et il passe plus de cinquante fois à la télé. Ses titres vont de Colours of Love (collection Psychology Today, 1976) à Love’s Gay Fool (autobiographie, voir www.johnalanlee.ca). John cherche à se faire élire au Parlement canadien et siège au comité exécutif de plusieurs organismes, y compris des syndicats et groupes socialistes, des mouvements anti-guerre, le Club Sierra du Canada et le groupe local d’Amnistie Internationale. Il est aujourd’hui professeur émérite de l’Université de Toronto où il a enseigné la sociologie.

Title A name given to the resource Bev Lepischak (1953- ) Description An account of the resource Bev Lepischak was born in 1953 on a small farm in rural Manitoba, where she learned that hard work and careful nurturing could make things grow under even the harshest conditions. Bev studied Social Work at the University of Manitoba and worked in Churchill and Winnipeg where she also earned her credentials as a lesbian. Within a month of coming to Toronto in 1981, Bev began volunteering for the Toronto Counselling Centre for Lesbians and Gays where her natural leadership skills soon saw her becoming Chair of the Board. During the 1980’s and 90’s, she made her mark on every organization in which she was involved: Jessie’s Centre for Teenagers; WCREC; the Guelph Sexuality Conference; and especially Central Toronto Youth Services where she worked from 1993 to 2004. As a community development worker, Bev trained professionals and community groups throughout Ontario about the needs and issues of queer youth, coordinated the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Youth, organized two major “Other Young Lives” conferences, and supported countless other initiatives. Bev received many accolades over the years, including the Guelph University Lifetime Achievement Award for Sexuality Education in 1997 and the David Kelley Community Award in 2000, but her proudest achievement has been the creation of Supporting Our Youth (SOY). This program, which began in 1997, has been groundbreaking for its vision of queer community building across the generations, its range of cultural, recreational and mentoring activities, and its ability to evolve to meet new challenges. Now part of Sherbourne Health Centre, SOY supports some 20 unique initiatives including projects focused on newcomer and black queer youth, trans youth, and queer youth with disabilities. Bev’s private life mirrors her passionate and nurturing spirit as much as her public life. She met her soulmate, Anna Travers, in the mid-eighties and welcomed the chance to co-parent two little girls. Bev’s home is her refuge – a place to cook, garden and, of course, to gather people in. (2005 Induction Statement) Bev Lepischak naît en 1953 sur une ferme au Manitoba, où elle apprend qu’un dur labeur et un soin précis peuvent favoriser une croissance dans des conditions pénibles. Bev étudie en travail social à l’Université du Manitoba, puis œuvre à Churchill et Winnipeg où elle fait ses armes comme lesbienne. Un mois après son arrivée à Toronto en 1981, Bev devient bénévole au Toronto Counselling Centre for Lesbians and Gays; ses qualités innées de leadership l’amènent à présider le conseil d’administration. Durant les années 1980 et 1990 elle laisse sa marque sur chaque organisme où elle œuvre : Jessie’s Centre for Teenagers, WCREC, Guelph Sexuality Conference et, surtout, Central Toronto Youth Services où elle travaille de 1993 à 2004. À titre d’agente de développement communautaire, Bev forme des professionnels et des organismes communautaires partout en Ontario, les sensibilisant aux besoins des jeunes GLBT. Elle coordonne la Coalition de la jeunesse gaie et lesbienne, organise deux conférences « Other Young Lives » et appuie d’innombrables initiatives.. Bev reçoit plusieurs honneurs au fil des ans, y compris le Guelph University Lifetime Achievement Award for Sexuality Education (1997) et le David Kelley Community Award (2000), mais sa plus importante réalisation est la création de Supporting Our Youth (SOY). Ce programme initié en 1997 est révolutionnaire dans sa vision intergénérationnelle concernant l’édification d’une communauté gaie, dans ses activités culturelles, récréatives et de mentorat, et dans son habilité à relever de nouveaux défis. Aujourd’hui intégré au centre de santé Sherbourne, SOY appuie plus de 20 initiatives uniques, y compris des projets centrés sur les nouveaux arrivants, les jeunes GLBT noirs, les jeunes transgenres et les jeunes gais handicapés. Tout comme dans sa vie publique, un esprit passionné et attentionné nourrit la vie privée de Bev. Elle rencontre son âme-sœur, Anna Travers, au milieu des années 1980 et saute sur l’occasion de parrainer deux petites filles. La résidence de Bev est son refuge : un lieu où cuisiner, jardiner et, bien entendu, recevoir des gens.
