Queer Canadian History Resources

From mid December until early January we will be heading back to Ontario to spend the holidays with family and friends. I won't have much chance to work on my social movement history project over that period (though I hope to continue blogging) so I am bringing with me a bunch of material to read that is relevant to one of the sample chapters I will soon be preparing. The following is a list of book-length resources relevant to the history of gay and lesbian movements in Canada -- I have read a couple, I will be reading a bunch more, and there are a few I probably won't get to or even be able to find easily. In other words, for most of them I'm not yet able to comment on their quality nor their usefulness for any particular purpose. Still, some folks might find the list useful.
