Description
Before the Parade traces the beginnings of Halifax’s gay, lesbian, and bisexual community. Journalist and activist Rebecca Rose melds insights and perspectives from the people at the forefront with a thoroughly researched, narrative history. Rose brings her queer femme, feminist perspective to this compelling—and never before told—history of Halifax’s early LGB community.
