Journalist Kevin Dale McKeown describes the early days of Vancouver's Gay and Drag communities in the 1970s, including his role creating the first Gay column, QQ Writes, for the Georgia Straight in 1970. He surveys the "pubs, clubs and tubs" of the time, ending with the arrival of AIDS in 1982 and its profound effect on his milieu.
