See below for English description.

Voici Jim Egan, militant pour l'égalité des droits des personnes LGBTQ2S+ au Canada.

Déterminé, Jim Egan insère une feuille de papier dans sa machine à écrire. Il en a assez de ce que les médias écrivent sur les hommes gais.

Ce sont ces mensonges remplis de haine qui le poussent à passer à l'action. À cette époque, il est souvent dangereux pour les personnes LGBTQ2S+ de prendre la parole en public. Elles prennent le risque de perdre leur emploi, de se mettre à dos leur famille, de se faire arrêter et d'aller en prison, si ce n'est pire, alors elles vivent leur amour en cachette.

Elles n'ont pas non plus les mêmes droits que les personnes hétérosexuelles. Alors Jim écrit lettre après lettre. C'est le premier de tous les combats qu'il mènera durant des décennies...

Une lutte pour l'égalité qui n'est toujours pas terminée.

La série Biographie en images est une collection primée d'ouvrages consacrés à des personnalités fascinantes qui ont façonné le passé et le présent du Canada. Écrit par Elizabeth MacLeod, autrice acclamée d'ouvrages documentaires, chaque livre comporte également des illustrations signées par Mike Deas qui interpellent les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui et qui contribuent à donner vie à l'histoire.

Meet Jim Egan -- journalist and LGBTQIA2S+ activist!

Jim was born in 1921, and he had an ordinary childhood. But as he grew up, he knew he was a little different than his friends. As a young man, Jim joined the war effort and travelled the world. He discovered there were other people like himself -- he was gay. Jim hadn't even known there was a word for it when he was growing up.

At that time, being identified as a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community wasn't safe. People lost their jobs, their families, got put in jail -- or worse. Hiding who they were felt safer to most. But not Jim. He picked up his pen and started to fight for his rights. This battle would lead to protection for the LGBTQIA2S+ community under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and open the door to further equal rights, including same-sex marriage.

The Biographie en images series is an award-winning collection of titles focused on fascinating people who have shaped Canada's past and present. Written by acclaimed non-fiction author Elizabeth MacLeod, each book features comicsinspired illustrations by Mike Deas, which appeal to today's readers and help bring the story to life.
