Bruce Galloway was a gay activist and writer.

His published works included:

"I met Bruce Galloway at the Union of Liberal Students (ULS) conference in 1983, the first out gay person I had ever met. He was chair of the gay liberals (I forget what they called themselves then) and I was completely shocked when not long afterwards he committed suicide."[2]
