By sharing this history, she hopes to showcase the complexities of queer joys and sadness experienced by queer people in this period.
Sarah Worthman (she/her) is the founder and executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative, a grassroots organization that was established to commemorate the 2SLGBTQ+ histories of NL.
