Free Queerstory

[Nidhi Roy]

Hello,
We have introduced a new app Queerstory

Description:
Queerstory: Mapping Toronto’s Queer History

Explore the sites and sounds of Toronto’s vibrant and storied queer history with the free locative app Queerstory. Take to the streets and navigate through more than 30 locations across Toronto’s diverse downtown neighbourhoods.

Uncover hidden stories about the political, cultural and social history of Toronto’s queer community in the places they occurred. Experience mini-docs compiled with rare archival footage and site interviews with a colourful cast of characters. Meander through two sites where artists lead you on their mediated interpretations of queer history.

For out of town visitors with limited data roaming plans One Zone offers competitive day rates:
