The QUEERSTORY Tour recalls the days when Montréal's LGBTQ2+ establishments were located in the west-end of downtown. Through true stories (we name names!) of struggle and triumph, we remember the horrible and the fabulous history of Montréal's queer people and institutions. You'll hear about the bars, the police raids, the parties, the cruising, the protests, the lives lost and the battles won that paved the way to today.
Access to private account of tips & recommendations to support LGBTQ2+ businesses

The personal stories were filled with meaningful emotions. Thom was very personable and made everyone feel welcomed. I will do this tour, again, on my next visit to Montreal.

That was spectacular! It's clearly a passion project of the guide. The quality and love he's poured into the project show. It really helps you see and feel the history of the city as well as how it impacts LGBTQ rights nationally and internationally.
