Dan Reardon was one of the coordinators of Speak Easy, a gay helpline in New Brunswick. He also founded the Moose Jaw Gay Community Centre, which operated a gay counselling hotline but did not have a physical home. He hoped to create a coffee house where local gays and lesbians could socialize. He discussed this vision with Moose Jaw Mayor Herb Taylor and said he would apply for a $4000 grant. When the press got word of this, it caused an outcry and the Mayor called a press conference, saying he didn’t think the gay community would receive a grant.
