Throbbing. Pulsing. Sweating. Clubs and bars have been central spaces for queer and trans people to find and build community. But rapid gentrification and the increasing cost of living are closing what few queer nightlife spaces remain. These videos document Toronto’s lost queer nightlife. – Jonathon Petrychyn
