Administrative history
The Halifax Gayline was a phoneline intended to provide information, counselling, and referral service to gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals, as well as those questioning their sexuality. Staffed by trained volunteers, it was funded initially by the Gay Alliance for Equality [GAE] and later by the Gay and Lesbian Association of Nova Scotia [GALA]. Later, other Gay bars donated resources for the phone line. In the nineties the name was changed to the Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Line. The line opened in 1972 and ceased operations in 1996 after 25 years.
