HISTORY HIGHLIGHT: BODY POLITIC COLORING PAGE (001]

Colouring page for the second issue of The Body Politic, illustrating a Toronto Gay Community Centre — The Youth Politic name is lovingly inspired by The Body Politic: a gay liberation newspaper that published between 1971 and 1987 out of Toronto.
The Body Politic was a crucial channel of communication between queer and trans community members, and was incredibly dedicated to the practice of community archiving; so much so that the small team behind the monthly magazine founded what is now the Arquives (Canada’s LGBTQ2S+ Archives).
All back issues of The Body Politic can be accessed through the Arquives, and read online through the Internet Archive.
Travel through time by colouring this cover from Issue #2 (1972). or drawing what’s happening through the community centre windows!
