Title A name given to the resource Elmer Bagares (1970- ) Description An account of the resource "I committed to the political, social and cultural developments that shape my community and I am especially moved to serve its members. For the past decade, I have devoted my academic, volunteer, professional and personal endeavours to the concerns of those who are more marginalized within our society. I believe the source of my motivation comes from my deeply rooted values in human rights, social justice and anti-oppression. These values are verbs not nouns. They must be acted upon; injustices must be challenged, not tolerated. Tolerance is merely the expression of complicity. We all have the responsibility to know the difference and act accordingly."

Title A name given to the resource Chris Bearchell (1953-2007) Description An account of the resource Chris Bearchell's career as a dyke dynamo covers nearly three decades. Chris began writing for Toronto's Body Politic ('BP') in 1975, often as the 'only lesbian'; she joined the governing collective in 1978 and stayed until the paper's demise in 1987. Hugely influential, and an unrelenting activist, she co-founded the Lesbian Organization of Toronto (LOOT), was key player with the Coalition for Gay Rights in Ontario, and acted as Chair of the Committee to Defend John Damien, a racing steward fired in 1975 solely for being gay. Even after the BP's demise, her influence did not wane. She did television with the Gay Offensive Collection, den-mothered a vibrant team of news writers and wrote editorials. She worked on an AIDS project with inner-city youth and worked with Maggie's, a prostitute's rights group and drop-in. An astute analyst of pornography, she made her own - and passionately opposed censorship. She has consistently fought for the rights of queer kids, whatever their orientation. Unrelenting, loud, and infinitely proud, Chris' influence continued to be felt in Canada's queer community until her untimely death in 2007.

Title A name given to the resource Rick Bébout (1950-2009) Description An account of the resource Rick Bébout, born in Massachusetts, came to Canada in 1969 - a draft-dodger in spirit at age 19 if, in the end, never drafted. But he had found the right town, Toronto, falling in with a crew of artsy queers who felt they could do anything. And, without credentials or permission, they did: in a burst of civic bravado, they conceived a book to celebrate Toronto's Union Station, and then they were threatened with demolition. It was published in 1972. In time, he connected with queers who - around the same time, also without credentials, no resources to speak of, and certainly no permission - had got together to publish their own paper. It was radical; he suspected himself not"politically correct" enough to help. But lending a hand at the (then) Canadian Gay Archives put him in their midst: in 1977 they asked him to join their collective. He gave The Body Politic his entire life (well, nearly) until the end of its life, in 1987. Many of that little rag's radicals - most notably Michael Lynch, Bill Lewis, Tim McCaskell, Chris Bearchell, Ed Jackson and Kevin Orr - went on to confront AIDS as they already had at The Body Politic. In 1986 Rick joined the staff of the AIDS Committee of Toronto - officially in fundraising if often caught up in AIDS education and community action. He left in 1993, worn out by battles to keep ACT true to its community roots and to keep an AIDS Service Organization from killing a person with AIDS, which by 1988 he knew he was (if never a "PWA" obsessed with Identity Politics). He has spent his time since looking back on a lucky life, in online works wondering what it means to be not just "Gay" - but a citizen committed to liberation for everyone.

Title A name given to the resource Nicole Brossard (1943- ) Description An account of the resource Nicole Brossard is a poet, novelist and theorist. Born in Montreal, she has been a leading figure in post-modern writing since 1965, ensuring that issues of gender and language are now central within Quebec's poetic landscape. Internationally, her reputation as an artist and a lesbian theorist has grown with the multilingual translation of her work, including: Lovhers, Picture Theory, Mauve Desert, Under Tongue, The Aerial Letter, and Baroque at Dawn. "Tolerance is a social must that has to be learned culturally or strongly recommended by law. Because tolerance is not acceptance it could be defined as an attitude by which people temporarily put aside public rejection, discrimination and contempt toward a category of individuals or a group. Tolerance is unreliable because it fluctuates like fashion and the stock market. There is not such a thing as 'safe' tolerance." (Nicole Brossard, Montreal, 2000 Induction Statement) Poète, romancière et théoricienne née à Montréal, cette figure marquante de l’écriture postmoderne depuis 1965 a intégré le genre et la langue au cœur de la poétique québécoise.
