Gooselane Publishing Book Len & Cub: A Queer History

Book Len & Cub: A Queer History tells the touching story of two men, Leonard "Len" Keith and Joseph "Cub" Coates, who grew up in Havelock, New Brunswick. Their relationship blossomed in the early 20th century, and it is beautifully captured through Len's photographs. These images reveal their deep affection for each other, showcasing moments from their outdoor adventures and shared experiences.

Len was not just a photographer; he was also an automobile enthusiast and owned a local garage. Cub, on the other hand, was a farmer's son and a veteran of the First World War. Together, they created a life filled with love and adventure, making their story one of the oldest photographic records of a same-sex couple in the Maritimes. This book is a celebration of their unique bond and a significant piece of queer history in Canada.
