Title A name given to the resource Pat Murphy (1941-2003) Description An account of the resource Pat Murphy was born in Toronto, the daughter of Marion Roxby and Alphonsus Murphy, sister of Janet, James and Daniel Murphy. Pat was Vice-President of the Community Homophile Association of Toronto (CHAT), where she worked in all aspects of the organization, including counselling, community outreach and public relations. The major risks were those associated with being out publicly and the focus of much media attention, not to mention attacks by The Western Guard, an active right-wing organization. CHAT's main focus was human rights and hopefully to enlighten an unenlightened society at that time. Pat was also an active member of Toronto Gay Action. A significant event was the arrest and eventual trial of The Brunswick Four, which garnered much media and public attention. Judy Lamarsh, former Secretary of State of Canada, defended Pat and the other women (Heather and Adrian). This trial led to complaints being levelled against the police (see Royal Commission into Police Brutality vs. Pat Murphy). In the late 70's Pat devoted her time to the issues more specific to lesbians and women in general, such as Women Against Violence Against Women. She also managed a popular women's bar "The Fly By Night". "I have heard that I was courageous. In retrospect, and in the present, it has always been an issue of basic survival - physical, emotional and spiritual. Maintaining one's own integrity and a desire to positively influence the present societal circumstances in which I find myself and others."

Their intense pull creates a critical mass of human imagination and action. Cities are global and local. Queer folk find both intimacy and anonymity in urban space. Gay ghetto's provide sex, love, family, identity and a place to be seen. Cities offer us crowds, singularity, invisibility, diversity and places to hide. Cities become liberty. About two decades ago I was twenty. I never heard of anyone who was out. No one I knew was proud. Bars were raided, people arrested. "Homosexuals" were "admitted", "confessed" or "suspected." Being in bars involved the fear and risk of being caught. Being caught meant job loss and family rejection. Queers were bashed. Life was lived in fractured pieces. Finding sex and love was an art form. My father said I couldn't be gay because I played football. AIDS was not a word. AIDS became epidemic. People came out, people died, more people came out. Today I remember. I live a whole out life. I am part of the first generation who can live out loud. I keep part of my lost brothers alive in my heart. I am not afraid anymore."

Title A name given to the resource Carole Pope (1952- ) Description An account of the resource Lesbian, songwriter and musician, anti-diva. All that was in the future when Carole Pope moved from Manchester, England to Canada with her parents when she was a toddler. She has kept moving ever since. The peripatetic nature of her upbringing and her involvement in the Yorkville scene of the 1960s exposed her to a variety of life and musical styles. It also fostered her desire to be a songwriter and in 1969, shortly after meeting Kevan Staples, they formed their first band: O (as in The Story of 0) which lasted long enough to be filmed for the world fair in Osaka. Beginning in 1971, they performed as an acoustic duo, The Bullwhip Brothers, experimenting with sexually threatening material and developing a growing following. Carole became enamoured with the leather -bondage image in the gay community, the inspiration for the band "Rough Trade" she and Kevan formed in 1974. The band was an immediate hit. The music, songs and Carole's provocative stage performances ushered in the New Music era in Toronto and a sexual adventure in music and fashion that was a welcome diversion from the norm. By 1979 it was the Canadian band. With her songs, Carole "seduced the nation's youth and struck a chord with young hinterland homos-to-be" across Canada. Rough Trade attracted much media attention and Carole wrote songs for a variety of stage performances (including Divine), films such as "Cruising", and many other venues. In 1983 the band opened for David Bowie's Canadian tour. Carole received several music awards, including two Junos in 1981 and 1984. Rough Trade broke up in 1986 and Carole and Kevan went solo. She moved to Los Angeles but makes periodic trips back to Canada, where older gays and lesbians have not forgotten her music and the new generation is rediscovering her. (2002 Induction Statement) Compositrice, musicienne et anti-diva; les images du cuir et du servage l'ont inspirée dans son groupe Rough Trade, créé en 1974; par ses chansons, Carole " a séduit la jeunesse du pays et a touché une corde sensible des gais en herbe " partout au Canada.
