Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.”<br />There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man.

She travelled and collaborated primarily with her partner Victoria "Queenie" Hayward (1876-1956), a journalist born in Bermuda. The couple met in Bermuda in 1911, and later moved to Connecticut, where Watson was born. They remained lifelong professional collaborators and romantic partners until Watson's death in 1943. Their work often focused on rural working-class life and minority groups across Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador. They were frequently published in both American and Canadian newspapers and magazines, and they published a selection of travel journalism and photographs, Romantic Canada, in 1922. 1910s 1913 art couple couples Edith S.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.”<br />There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man.

Danielle, Octagon Castle, St. John’s, Newfoundland. Dear Sir, I read in New York Sunday American and Journal of June 1sr that Prof. Danielle died May 1st and all about the funeral, the Octagon Castle, etc. The paper had it all pictured out mortuary chamber, funeral procession and all. It mentioned a young man adopted as his son by the name of Brazil. I knew Prof. Danielle well, and I am anxious to know his real true name; when and where from. He once told me that “Danielle” was his stage name. Will you still continue the Octagon Castle as a hotel? I hope you will write me anything of interest. Do you know where his sister Mrs. Octagon is now living? Kindly answer. Very respecfully, CH.

Title A name given to the resource GAIN Foresight August 24, 1985 Description An account of the resource Monthly newsletter for members of the Gay Association in Newfoundland (GAIN). It announces the next few GAIN dances and notes that the group was planning a trip to Halifax in early October. It reports that a brief that GAIN prepared for the House of Commons Equality Committee would be presented to four MPs who would soon be visiting St. John’s, and that the group planned in September to start on a brief for the provincial government asking that sexual orientation be included in the provincial human rights code. It discusses GAIN’s latest letter-writing efforts, including letters to the World Health Organization and World Psychiatric Association, asking them to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases and ask all their member nations to do the same, and to a general of the Salvation Army, which had launched a petition against a bill to decriminalize male homosexuality in New Zealand. It describes the International Gay Association’s first ever international meeting in Canada, held in Toronto from July 1st-7th, at which four GAIN members (Wally Upward, Murray, Ann, and Catherine) were in attendance. It reports that one case of AIDS had been diagnosed in Newfoundland, noting that an unofficial source said it was in Grand Falls, and that others had been treated for AIDS in the province after being diagnosed in other provinces. It also includes an update on AIDS from GANG’s Robin Metcalfe in Halifax, whose Metro Area Committee on AIDS had held its first meeting in July, and AIDS news from the United States, where the publicization of Rock Hudson’s illness had brought new publicity to the disease, as well as other gay news from Halifax, West Germany, New Zealand. It calls for new members to join GAIN, especially women.

Title A name given to the resource “Forces ignore outcry, expel Thornborrow” Description An account of the resource An article discussing the discharge of Private Barbara Thornborrow by the Canadian Forces. The discharge was issued with the justification that “service policy does not allow for the retention of sexual deviates”. Private Thornborrow was surprised to be suddenly expelled from the Armed Forces after coming forward about the harassment she was facing for being a lesbian, or “alleged lesbian activity”, as it was put by the Canadian Forces. She spoke publicly about her dismissal to various Canadian media outlets, and is noted to have inspired another lesbian to come forward about her expulsion from the Armed Forces. The article also discusses the expulsion of seven other women working on a base in Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador by the Canadian Forces based on sexual orientation, and the Defence Minister’s silence when asked by the National Gay Rights Coalition to explain the Forces’ attitude towards homosexuals in its ranks.<br /><br />This article was posted in the <em>Body Politic</em> newsletter. <em>The Body Politic</em> was a queer, activist-based Canadian monthly newsletter that was published from 1971 to 1987.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.”<br />There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man.

The first page displays a full-page </span>cartoon drawing of a gay couple kissing behind some bushes, and speech bubbles coming out of the bushes expressing homophobic sentiments. The second page details how, marking the International Year of Lesbian and Gay Action, the Gay and Lesbian Supplement within the <em>Muse</em> would be used as a tool to connect the gay and lesbian community within Newfoundland, and as a tool to further visibility and representation of the community. The third page contains an article describing lesbian-feminist politics, the ripple effects lesbian feminism has on people's lives, children, and the community as a whole, and identifying lesbian feminism as a direct stance against patriarchal dominance and heteronormativity, along with a reprinted article from Carleton University's <em>Charlatan </em>paper about lesbianism and stereotypes. The fourth and fifth pages feature a small comic strip and provide a "how to" guide on the act of "coming out" to people in one's life. There are two articles on the sixth page: one, reprinted from McGill University's&nbsp;<em>McGill Daily</em>, discusses the experiences of gay students within their first year of university, living on campus in the residence buildings. The writer specifically highlights the experience of having one's identity treated like gossip, but also connecting with other gay students. The second, reprinted from the University of Manitoba's<em>&nbsp;Manitoban</em>, is about Ed Jackson, who was initially from New Brunswick, but moved to Toronto and joined the editorial collective that published <em>The Body Politic</em>. An article on the seventh page highlights how gay pornography at the time was taking on tropes of typically straight porn, which had a direct power dynamic of oppressor/oppressed, and details how aspects gay pornography may be problematic or harmful in the way it conceptualizes sex as a commodity.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.”<br />There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man.

He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.”<br />There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man.
