Regulating Morality – Exploring Edmonton’s Queer History
The Edmonton Queer History Project and Fort Edmonton Park proudly announce the opening of “Regulating Morality: Exploring Edmonton’s Queer History,” a historical display showcasing 2SLGBTQ+ existence and resistance in the ongoing fight for human rights.
Regulating Morality explores key historic events including the moral theocracy of “Bible Bill” Aberhart, HIV/AIDS pandemic, the landmark Vriend v. Alberta Supreme Court case, to current threats against 2SLGBTQ+ equality and human rights. The exhibition explores the moral and gender panics of both the past and present, community resilience and activism, and educational, legal, and political challenges surrounding 2SLGBTQ+ issues in Alberta over the past 100 years.
