St Paul's Cathedral London by Roy Llowarch Via Flickr: Trip round St Paul's Cathedral London. Amazing building not allowed to take photos inside for some strange reason but took one photo of Lord Nelson's Tomb and the Duke Of Wellington's Tomb. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Paul%27s_Cathedral

Newly Processed!

We’ve just finished processing the records of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Wellesley Hills. Totaling 87 boxes, the collection includes general church records, scrapbooks, photographs, and the records of previous ministers of the congregation.

Among some of the ministers who served at Wellesley Hills are Waitstill Sharp, who helped save thousands of Jewish children and intellectuals in Europe during the Nazi regime, and William Rice, who brokered the Unitarian Universalist merger and co-founded Human Relations Service, Inc., the first community mental health agency in the US.

City of Valleys 61

Another June Steven Steven unlocked his front door. The light he had left on in the kitchen was burned out. It went on when he tried it. He must have forgotten to turn it before he left.  Church Street had been thick with fags and dykes and far too many couples. Still the crowd energy reassured him. He was no longer the one queer in the world. There were thousands of them out there who enjoyed…

I finally got around to processing all the photos I took at the Halloween street bash down in the Village in Toronto. Man, it was wall to wall people coming at you from all four directions. You had to work quickly if you wanted a decent photo. If they'd had floats I would of thought I was at Mardi Gras. It was a lot of people out for a night of fun.

In downtown Toronto, there is a not so gentlemanly gentlemen’s club for gay men and for the most part women aren’t welcome. Now there’s nothing wrong with having a male only space but why can’t other groups of people have spaces too such as women and girls?

You see spaces like female washrooms, sports and clubs are continually invaded and disrespected while groups that are considered “marginalized” can have and maintain the exclusivity of their spaces.

Domestic scene @ Church & Wellesley

Okay okay, so this wasn't a delivery person, but it was somebody scooting about grooving with headphones and no helmet, just vibing. They were hand dancing, yes, but sometimes the music do be that good. I've never ridden a scooter so I have no idea if you need both hands all the time or not. This was over in the Church Wellesley Village area, across the street from Storm Crow Manor! We were perusing some kinda outdoor queer market thing. It was cute and fine and sunny. Made them a rhino, because they just seemed wholly unconcerned about collisions >_<

The village is nestled at the intersection of Church Street and Wellesley Street. The nightlife scene is equally diverse, offering a spectrum of music, dance, and live performances that both entertain and draw in visitors from all over.

Each year Canada welcomes thousands of refugees who have fled everything from war to political unrest. For some newcomers, they’ve come to the country for a different reason: to be able to live a life true to themselves.

The 519 is located in the Church-Wellesley Village, which is home to Toronto’s 2SLGBTQ+ communities. It serves as a hub for Queer people of all walks of life, offering a wide range of services. The community agency is hoping to highlight the supports available for 2SLGBTQ+ refugees.

Gloria Godwin claimed asylum in Canada in 2019. In her home country of Nigeria, she was faced with a distressing ultimatum: stay and be imprisoned, or leave and be free.

“It’s against the law to be an LGBTQ person in my country, and if you are caught, you’ll definitely go to jail for 14 years. It wasn’t safe for me and at the time I was caught,” Godwin said. [...]
