08 Jul, 2019 Remembering Laurent McCutcheon
Laurent McCutcheon (1942-2019)
It is with great sadness that the Archives gaies du Québec have learned of the passing of Laurent McCutcheon, great friend, volunteer, and donor of the Archives, who had been battling with cancer since December 2016. For more than 35 years, Mr. McCutcheon had actively fought for LGBT+ rights, with personal involvement in the Association pour les droits des gais et lesbiennes du Québec (ADGLQ), Gai Écoute, and as Vice-President of the Association québécoise pour le droit de mourir dans la dignité. He was also the founder of Fondation Émergence, an organization that promotes LGBT+ awareness through education. He is survived by his partner, Pierre Sheridan, his family, and numerous friends
