Title A name given to the resource Brent Hawkes (1950- ) Description An account of the resource "I count it an amazing privilege to have been involved with the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto and the Gay and Lesbian Community for the past many years. I am grateful to be a part of leading our people to faith and freedom. Reclaiming our spiritual health and wholeness is a crucial step in the full development of our community. When we found ourselves excluded, we determined to create for ourselves a safe place. Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto has been that for myself and thousands of others. When we found the laws of the land made us second class citizens, we determined to have them changed. Canada has been a place where that has been possible. May we continue to ensure that faith and freedom are available to our people here and around the world. Tolerance seldom is given as a gift. We have had to work for it in our families, work places, worship places and governments. The Gay and Lesbian Community is a significant force for justice and spiritual health. It has been a challenging and glorious quest." (Rev. Brent Hawkes, Toronto, 2000 Induction Statement) Militant, pasteur de l’Église métropolitaine communautaire de Toronto.

Title A name given to the resource Tomson Highway (1951- ) Description An account of the resource Tolerance, for me, is sitting on a subway train in the middle of the day right here in Toronto, the city of my choice, and to look up from my reading and realize, out of the blue, that everyone in this car is of a different colour, of skin I mean, of a different race, from a different part of the world. There are, I swear to myself, people here from at least twenty countries on six continents - not bad when you consider that there are only about -fifty people, in total, in this particular car. And I can hear the muted ebb and flow of at least a dozen different languages. Music to my ears. Music to my soul. And all these people? They're not killing each other, not like they are in so many countries the whole world over. They're not shooting each other, not chopping off each other's limbs with machetes, not blowing up each other's pubs, cars, or children with bombs, grenades or land mines. They're standing and sitting right here together, respecting each other's sense of privacy, each other's differentness. And me, as a Cree-Canadian with very brown skin? I fit right in. I'm just a regular, ordinary part of this fabulous tapestry. And I love it. This is my home, I say to myself, my city, my country. It may not be perfect. But it sure is pretty darn good. Hey. Know what? I think they should re-name "Toronto" "Tolerance". Wouldn't that be neat? I mean, think of it. As you travel the world, whenever you are asked where you come from, you could turn to them and say, "Me? I come from Tolerance. Tolerance, Ontario. Tolerance, Ontario, Canada."

Title A name given to the resource Charlie Hill (1945- ) Description An account of the resource "In 1969 when I became President of the University of Toronto Homophile Association, I identified myself, both personally and publicly, as a gay male. In my work in the gay movement in Toronto and Ottawa up to the mid 1970s I sought to come to terms with that identity and counter those forces which saw me, and my sisters and brothers, only in those terms. For the National Gallery of Canada I have organized exhibitions of Canadian Painting in the Thirties (1975), of the photographs of John Vanderpant (1976), of the paintings of James Wilson Morrice (1992) and of The Group of Seven (1995) among others. I now identify myself as a gay, male, middle-class art historian and civil servant with numerous, additional, qualifying adjectives, both positive and more dubious."

Title A name given to the resource George Hislop (1927-2005) Description An account of the resource "Thirty years ago I didn't want tolerance. I didn't want my lover and companion Ron Shearer and I to be tolerated. Nor did I want other lesbians and gay men to be merely tolerated. I wanted us, all of us, to be understood and acknowledged and yes, loved, in our sexual orientation. Through the efforts of thousands of lesbians and gay men and our straight friends, family, and supporters, much has been accomplished in Canada and around the world to achieve those goals. But there is still much to do. Today I am much more tolerant of the word and concept of tolerance, but we must constantly be on guard to maintain our hard-won gains, for they can be easily lost."
