This is a good book to turn to for an overall inventory of LGBTQ equality-seeking actions across the country over the years. It will likely prove to be an important resource for anyone interested in social change, social movements, and LGBTQ studies in Canada. - Barry Adam, University of Windsor (Labour/Le Travail, Vol. 78)
