Description
Len & Cub A Queer History by Meredith Batt and Dusty Green is a poignant and intimate portrayal of a same-sex relationship in rural North America during the early 20th century. The book is based on the photographs of Len Keith, who captured the life and love of his partner Cub Coates, and tells their story against the backdrop of a time when same-sex identity was not widely accepted. The photographs, taken by Len, reveal a deep affection and companionship between the two men, who shared a love of the outdoors and adventure. Their story is one of the oldest photographic records of a same-sex couple in the Maritimes, and provides a unique insight into the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals in rural Canada during this period. This book is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of love, friendship, and identity, and challenges contemporary ideas about sex and gender expression in the early 20th century.
