A brief queer history at UNB

The history of LGBTQ+ rights at UNB begins in 1975 when the first collective agreement was signed between the faculty union and UNB protecting faculty from discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Shortly after, the Fredericton Lesbians and Gays (F.L.A.G.) began community organizing and human rights projects.

In 1990, the UNB Gay and Lesbian Association is formed, its name changed to Spectrum in 2000, and eventually replaced by Qmunity in 2016.

In 2018, the 203 Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity is opened, where Dr. Anthony Lister provided a speech that detailed the history of change for the queer community at UNB Fredericton.
