Description

December Toronto Jearld Moldenhauer decided to start Glad Day Bookshop after noticing that Toronto's traditional bookstores were averse to selling the rapidly growing range of lesbian- and gay-positive books and magazines. Moldenhauer started buying stock and sold it out of a knapsack at gay meetings and rallies, at his home at 65 Kendal Avenue, Apt. 8, and through mail order. Over the years Glad Day would grow to become one of the most comprehensive lesbian and gay bookstores in the world. In 1979, Moldenhauer opened a second Glad Day, in Boston, Mass.
