Broken Laws: Queer Criminalization with Glenn Tkach

Sodomy. Gross indecency. “Masquerading as a woman.”

Hidden arrests like these reveal the shocking stories of queer Vancouver — and they’ve been buried in the archives for decades. Now, they’re coming into the light.

This Sunday at 3pm, join Glenn Tkach, creator of The Really Gay History Tour, for a one-afternoon-only storytelling experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Discover the real people behind these cases — and how the laws that shaped human lives were reshaped by brave law-breakers.

What people say about Glenn’s storytelling (TripAdvisor reviews of The Really Gay History Tour):

“An amazing storyteller” — Ronja

“Deserving of more than 5 stars!” — Jim E.

“…full of pride, history, and heart.” — Joni H.

Through original arrest sheets, newspaper clippings, court records, and long-forgotten personal histories, you’ll uncover how queer people were targeted — and how they pushed back.

These stories will make you see Vancouver’s queer past — and present — in a whole new light.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Tom Carter Recovery Fund.
