Partial Decriminalization

Nico
Header for Partial Decriminalization, Queer Canada: 30 Days of Stories, with the Ephemeral Record logo and URLs (ephemeralrecord.com and pateron.com/cw/ephemeralrecord). The background features an excerpt from a note from the editor concerning a letter about homosexual rights and the Progress Pride flag colours along the bottom of the image.

The 1969 partial decriminalization of homosexuality was not liberation. It was a partial reform that exposed the limits of Canadian tolerance, but it did create a political opening for a new generation of activists to demand more.
