What’s the Censored Story Behind This New Canada Post Stamp? (The Story of Little Sister's)

Описание: Canada Post just released a brand-new stamp honouring Little Sister’s Bookstore - but the government wasn't always celebrating this queer landmark.

Book bans are back in the news, so let’s look back at the definitive Canadian book-ban battle. Most people know Little Sister’s for its legendary, decades-long fight against censorship, but do you know what the government was actually seizing at the border while trying to shut them down?

For years, a persistent myth has been perpetuated about Little Sister’s. In this video, we are diving deep into the crates and shipping boxes targeted by customs. Let’s see what it was that the state desperately wanted to keep out of your hands.

I'm a professional storyteller with a passion for sharing queer history. I'm here to restore a heritage that's been buried and erased. I'm here to tell our stories.
