This photograph depicts Gregory Barker sitting in his 1976 Corvette Stingray. The car has a red leather interior, and Gregory Barker can be seen sitting in the driver's seat with one hand on the steering wheel. A comment on the photograph written by Gregory Barker reads: "When Tom Waddell, Olympic athlete and the founder of the Gay (Olympic) Games, came out in 1976, he stated that he was 'interested in presenting a new image of what it was to be a gay man in America.' Like Tom Waddell, I (Greg Barker) founder of the Edmonton Roughnecks Recreation Association in 1980 (Alberta's first gay sports organization), wanted to challenge the limiting stereotypes imposed and reinforced by homophobia on Gay men, and to expand the repertoire of role models. We are not only ballet dancers, hairdressers and drag queens - the latter to whom we are forever indebted to for their aid in launching the modern gay rights movement at Stonewall in 1969. We are also truck drivers, postmen, doctors, engineers, policemen, accountants, carpenters, and football players. Our community includes the Outlandish and the Tom-Finlandish, and everything in between. The name 'Roughnecks' was chosen with reference to the oilpatch, but more importantly to signal that a man who loved another man could also be masculine."
