"We are all angels with only one wing.
We can only fly by supporting each other."
Thanks Alan, for always being willing to offer your support.
Missed by family and friends.[1]
Recollections
Alan was an early organizer of gay youth groups. In September 1978, Gay Youth Guelph (GYG) was formed with ten members, twenty-five years of age or younger. Al Dearnley and Sandy Pratt served as coordinators, with Michael Hauser as secretary.[2]
One month later, October 1978, he and over sixty representatives of gay youth in Ontario met at the 519 Community Centre to work out strategies for the Bi-national Gay Youth Coalition. Al Dearnley, a seventeen-year-old spokesman for the group, said that information on services and support groups for homosexuals should be made available in high schools.[3]
