Little Sister's

Little Sister’s Bookstore features a bright red storefront on Davie Street, tucked into the heart of Vancouver’s West End. For decades, the shop served as the primary supplier of gay and lesbian literature in Western Canada. In nineteen ninety, customs officials seized hundreds of titles from the store, triggering a decade-long legal battle over censorship and free speech. The owners fought the government all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, eventually winning a landmark ruling that reshaped how books enter the country.
