The "Queer at Sea" Museum Exhibit @Maritime Museum of BC

I teased this topic in my last video (which was all about pirates) and here we are! I went and checked out "Queer at Sea: Tales from the 2SL

I teased this in my last video (which was all about pirates) and here we are! I went and checked out "Queer at Sea: Tales from the 2SLGBTQ+ Community" at the British Columbia Maritime Museum and it was something else! The queer and trans communities have long been a part of BC’s maritime history and the exhibit conveyed their first hand accounts of love, prejudice, and hope.

I really enjoyed this exhibit and how it was put together. Queer at Sea is text-based with more stories and oral histories than physical objects, but the level of community involvement that bonded this into a fully fledged story is compelling. 

If you would like to support this museum so that they can continue to put on fantastic exhibits like this one, please consider checking them out in person OR you can leave a donation here:

Not only did the park host the Queer Museum exhibit, they also placed these signs on all bathroom doors. (Bathroom signs at Parque Lage, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
