The Queer Frontier
Glenn Tkach, creator of The Really Gay History Tour, invites audiences to discover the punks, jockers, fairies, and Two-Spirit warriors who shaped Western Canada.
In The Queer Frontier, Glenn Tkach reaches back to uncover some of the earliest colonial queer history in the region, predating the establishment of Vancouver.
Attendees can expect to be transported back in time, exploring an unknown history. Jan 21.
Glenn says, “I’ve always been fascinated to see queer identities expressed through different cultures. Most people don't know about the unique queer culture that existed right here in the Pacific Northwest.”
With his dynamic, engaging, and humorous style, Tkach weaves together narratives that challenge preconceptions. The Queer Frontier offers a fresh perspective on how Western Canada was built, with queer individuals at its very heart.
The Really Gay History Tour recently received TripAdvisor's Traveller's Choice: Best of the Best 2023 award, ranked as one of the top ten tourism experiences in all of Canada. It has consistently received nothing less than 5 stars on TripAdvisor, with guests proclaiming:
“I’ve never enjoyed history so much.”
"An amazing storyteller!”
"Passionate, inspiring, knowledgeable, and funny.”
Now, Glenn brings that same calibre of storytelling to an even earlier period. The Queer Frontier promises to be an enlightening experience, shedding light on an important chapter of Canadian history that has been overlooked, ignored and even erased.
