About this listen

One of the biggest queer areas in Canada is covered in rainbow flags today but Davie Street Village's vibrant neighborhood has a dark history of the queer community fighting against itself and a serial killer who preyed upon sex workers. Join me as we learn about queer pioneers in this area and the memorial mounted to remember the violent end to 67 missing and murdered women.
