Reminiscing Gay Pride Edmonton while walking along Jasper Avenue with Millie

We were cruising along in front of The Bay store where crowds were loading on and off the buses. The sidewalk was very crowded so I moved this lovely lady closer to me.

I asked “What name shall I address you?”

“Millie Empress I… when I’m in Drag and you may call me Paul when I am not doing a Drag Show. Will you come to see me?” she said.

The Individual’s Rights Protection Act and the LGBTQ Community

On January 9, 1992, The Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) called on the Government of
Alberta to open the Individual’s Rights Protection Act (IRPA) to include sexual orientation as a protected
ground. The Commission reached its decision unanimously. The February edition of Dignity announced
its plan to have a team of volunteers help it “determine the number of potential complaints involving
discrimination based on sexual orientation.”
