Gay Montréal
Montréal has an excellent gay scene, with the action
concentrated in the area known as The Village - roughly
located on rue Ste-Catherine est between rue Amherst and the
Papineau Métro station. Two English information lines
provide up-to-date news on the latest events in the city: Gay-Info
(24hr recorded message; tel 252-4429) is bilingual, Gayline (daily
7-11pm; tel 866-5090 or 1-888/505-1010) is in English and doubles
as a helpline. Gai-Écoute (tel 521-1508) provides a similar service
to French-speakers. For contacts, L'Androgyne, 3636 boul
St-Laurent, is a gay and lesbian bookshop, and Priape, 1311 rue
Ste-Catherine est, is a Village-based sex shop and clothing store
that sells tickets to most events. Fugues is the city's
monthly French gay and lesbian magazine (there's usually a small
English section hidden among the ads and pictures). In early August
Divers/Cité , the gay and lesbian pride parade, is the event
of the year.
