In the 1970s, the Brunswick House was a raucous tavern and community hot spot for University of Toronto students and the Annex neighborhood. On January 5, 1974, Pat Murphy, Sue Wells, Lamar Van Dyke, and Adrienne Rosen went to the tavern for some fun. At one point, they received unwanted attention from a man who had had a little too much to drink. An open-mic session at the Brunswick provided a perfect opportunity to respond to the unwanted attention. Three of the group (Pat, Lamar & Adrienne) sang their rendition of Rogers’ and Hammerstein’s pop-culture tune, “I Enjoy Being a Girl”, changing the lyrics to “I Enjoy Being a Dyke”. The crowd loved it, but before they finished the first verse the manager cut off the power to the microphone. With the audience’s enthusiasm and encouragement, the three women unapologetically ended their set. Before they left the stage, though, the police were called to stop a “Lesbian Riot”. What followed was a series of events that would capture the attention of the mainstream media and start a national conversation about queer and lesbian discrimination in Canada for the first time.
