In 1992, I won the case that added "sexual orientation" to Canada's Charter protections for the first time. Search Google for "who won gay rights in Canada" — you won't find my name. After 30 years of silence, I'm telling the story on substack.
"In 1992 I fought Haig & Birch v. Canada, winning gay rights for Canadians. Now telling how I did it.

We often celebrate our victories but forget the people who fought. I won Haig v. Canada 1992 before Egan, Vriend, or marriage equality.
Calling on @nlgjaofficial.bsky.social and @lgbtq.bots.law to help ensure this history, and the man who lived it, isn't lost

I'm deeply grateful to the first people who've stepped forward and donated.
Asking for help has been humbling. Your solidarity is felt more than I can easily say.
