It's time for Vancouver's secrets to come out of the closet. The wild, untold history of Vancouver's LGBTQ2+ community comes alive through stories of struggle, unity, and celebration on a 2 hour adventure through Downtown and the West End. You'll meet a history of outrageous drag queens, book store bombings and the unsung heroes who forever changed the social fabric of our city.

    Meet your guide – the man in pink! – outside Trees Organic Coffee Shop at 930 Burrard Street. You'll soon embark on a 2 hour long adventure into the LGBTQ2+ history and culture of this West Coast metropolis. You'll weave a path through Imperial Court coronations, drag kings at the Quadra, gay ministers at the United Church, Patient Zero, the GRID crisis, and visit urban oasis Nelson Park, until you find yourself in the gaybourhood on Davie Street. The walking tour strolls the historic tree-lined West End as you discover the city's earliest Pride parade, Jim Deva Plaza, bookstore bombings, a transgender campaigner who blew the whistle on the biggest crime in Vancouver history, Vancouver’s secret gay village, and the remarkable story of two-spirited warrior Gone to the Spirits. You’ll finish right in the middle of the action in the Davie Street village with its fantastic variety of bars and restaurants.

Amazing experience while walking on a beautiful sunny day in Vancouver. Glenn was so engaging and presented in a balanced way. So much information I was unaware of!

Thank you Glenn. Your tour really touched my heart. So much I didn’t know about my city and its heroes. The tour will stay with me forever and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with others!

With our Aspire to Action class, we were enlightened to hear about the history of the Gay community, learning about historic buildings like 1930's hotels, which became a safe and fun place for closeted gay men and women. If you're looking for a tour that focuses in on who stood up through hardship, homophobia, and protested and represented their community, if you're eager to know the leaders who stood with them and honoured them for being the crucial change to help those who needed support, come to this tour! This was the most eye-opening, gripping, wonderful tour I will be a part of. I was engaged and enlightened for the entire time. Thank you for your time!
