As Grassroots As It Gets: Pushing for Same-Sex Equality in the 90s with Cait Glasson

Cait Glasson is singular - a polyglot, linguist and translator - who also moonlights as a gamer YouTuber. In 1994, Cait formed a core part of a key battle for queer rights in Ontario, pushing then Premier Bob Rae and his ilk to include same-sex equality rights in the omnibus bill. It ultimately failed - by nine votes - and showed the continued power of religious conservatives to influence politicians' stances on queer rights, particularly in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. Cait is generous with her stories and speaks vulnerably about the toll the pandemic has taken on her, calling for greater radicalism in old age. We thank Cait deeply!
