  • The Work of the Lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14
    Queering Vancouver: The Work of the lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14 Catherine Murray* he proposition, so often asserted, that Vancouver is an avant- garde paradise for people who identify as lgbtq (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer) merits careful examination.1 What evidence is usually cited? Social movement historians confirm that T lgbtq the city was the site of the first organization – the Association for Social Knowledge (ask) – that influenced national and regional social movements; that it developed a “thick,” active, and diverse associative structure of local gay, lesbian, and transgender rights and service groups; that it was the site of transformative protests or events; and that it is today well ensconced within Pacific Northwest and global social networks.2 Its lgbtq groups have achieved a distinctive record of groundbreaking struggles – even if there is as yet little agreement among social historians * I am indebted to the International Women’s World (2011) panel, the members of which discussed the first draft of this article; to Sarah Sparks, research assistant and MA graduate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Simon Fraser University; the constructive anonymous reviewers from BC Studies; and, especially, BC Studies’ editor Graeme Wynn. 1 Manon Tremblay, ed., Queer Mobilizations: Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy (Vancouver: ubc Press, 2015), 31. Like Tremblay, I use the term “queer” to designate all non-heterosexual people. 2 For queer urban history of Vancouver, see Anne-Marie Bouthillette, “Queer and Gendered Housing: A Tale of Two Neighborhoods in Vancouver,” in Queers in Space: Communities, Public Spaces, Sites of Resistance, ed.
