Queer at Sea: Tales from the 2SLGBTQ+ Community
The Maritime Museum of BC's new exhibit, “Queer at Sea: Tales from the 2SLGBTQ+ Community”, will be open to the public 17 May 2022 and will run for the duration of the summer.Queer and trans communities have long been a part of BC’s maritime history and culture. It is the goal of this exhibit to showcase those histories and culture, celebrate the roles and contributions queer, trans, and two-spirit people have made to BC’s maritime sectors, and to acknowledge work that remains to eliminate discrimination against the 2SLGBTQ+ community in the marine sectors.
The Maritime Museum of BC is honoured to showcase some of the histories and contributions of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to BC's maritime culture.
