History
Rumours was owned and operated by Gay Alliance for Equality (GAE) and Gay and Lesbian Association (GALA), and boasted the biggest dance floor in Eastern Canada. It opened in 1982 at 1586 Granville Street, Halifax, after the The Turret closed down. In 1987 Rumours moved to the OldVogueTheatre, where it remained until January, 1995. For some time Gayline also operated out of the building's basement.
