Photo by Jearld Moldenhauer. On November 1, 1971, a small collective of gay activists, led by Jearld Moldenhauer, published the first issue of "The Body Politic," Canada's first gay liberation newspaper. The writers and activists associated with "The Body Politic" helped lead Canada's LGBTQ revolution, even after the paper ceased publication in 1987. On February 22, 2016, organizers announced that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will march in the 2016 Toronto Pride Parade, marking the first time a Canadian PM will fully participate in Pride. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #gay #bi #lesbian #trans #canadian #pride #thebodypolitic #warisnotgay #jearldmoldenhauer #pridetoronto #theystoodup #justinptrudeau (at Toronto, Ontario)
