Scenic Views of Queer West Village Toronto Read More »
Toronto's - Queer West Village is more of an attitude than an identity; new and radical, and has a thriving underground queer scene. The fact that Toronto's west end is less aggressively, overtly gay is a drawing point for many queers. The bars and clubs are to a degree randomly spread along, Bloor St., College St., Queen Street West and Spadina none with a 'gay' bar label. Toronto's queer west end, is not so much a part of the city, as a collection of small villages. This first gallery of many, is a sightseeing tour around the village area.
Beaver Cafe private social event in the QWV
The Beaver Cafe at 1192 Queen Street West in Queer West Village, Toronto Ontario. Where a private event was held for staff and friends of downtown gay Toronto's Buddies in Bad Times Theatre on Monday December 11, 2006. The old gay guy "Mike" in centre (orange winter jacket), is apparently the founder of the QWV village and the unofficial mayor. Seen here deep dishing with gay friendly Christie Johnston a nice young lady, who works as Provincial Coordinator, M-TRACK Study for the AIDS Committee of Toronto, local queer DJ 4est (brown cap, back to camera) and Lyn, Beaver Cafe's bartender. The mayor looks perplexed as Christie, appears to be giving him the middle finger. Johnston is tracking gay males and queer youth, sexual habits outside of the old gay ghetto at Church and Wellesley.
