“If I could thank all of the people involved in producing The Body Politic — all those writers, many of whom are no longer with us — I’d thank them not just for paving the way for myself to have fundamental rights and freedoms as a queer person, but also my own writing has been inspired by what they did. I know that there’s no equivalent to The Body Politic in 2019 but I really try in my own work to at least maintain that spirit of bringing Canadians together to understand what their fellow LGBTQ people are doing. So thank you, Body Politic.”
