On February 9, 1976, gay activists Tom Field and Bill Holloway were arrested at the corner of Yonge and Bloor streets in Toronto for kissing in public. They were charged with obstructing the sidewalk and committing an indecent act. Ironically, the men had been posing for photographs for an article on homophobia to be published in the now-defunct newspaper Alternative to Alienation. …

Field and Holloway were found guilty of committing an indecent act by Judge Charles Drukarsh on July 13, 1976, and were each fined $50. The ruling infuriated Gay Alliance Toward Equality [GATE], the Body Politic, and members of the community. The need for protest was in the air, but only a very special kind of protest would do. 

A few days later, on July 17, GATE and the Body Politic sponsored a kiss-in to support the right for gay people to publicly show affection. About twenty people paraded in same-sex couples at Yonge and Bloor streets, kissing as they walked. Policemen watched from the sidelines, but did not intervene. The protesters had made their point. — Donald W. McLeod

The beach at Hanlan's Point on the Toronto Islands has served as a gathering place for the city's LGBTQ+ community for decades, but some are worried that could soon be at risk.

A dozen people recently formed a group called Hands Off Hanlan's to sound the alarm about the city's master plan for the islands, a long-term planning document that's still under development that's meant to guide decisions about the future of the area, which sees close to 1.5 million visitors per year.

In a series of social media posts last week, the group questioned a proposal to create an "open-air event space" on the event lawn close to the beach for hosting "island-sized festivals and cultural events."

Travis Myers, a member of Hands Off Hanlan's, said he worries about what the proposal could mean for the LGBTQ+ community, which relies on what he called Canada's oldest queer space.

"These are a lot of people who have experienced different types of vulnerabilities in different parts of our lives," he said.

The social media outcry has prompted the city official in charge of the consultation process, Daniel Fusca, to speak out in an attempt to dispel what he called a "misunderstanding" and to reassure the community that its voice will be heard.

The public spat shows the intense emotions and tensions surrounding any possible changes to the historically and culturally significant location.

The city's been consulting the public for more than two years about the master plan, which is scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2023.

Engagements with Indigenous groups, community organizations, sports programmers, island residents, and other stakeholders; public workshops to gather and discuss ideas for change; pop-up events to share information; an open house; and more have all been part of the process. 

Fusca, manager of a public consultation at the City of Toronto's parks and recreation department, told CBC that more than 20,000 people have participated in the process so far.

He said the city has gathered the views of the LGBTQ+ community through targeted discussion and a focus group that involved Pride Toronto, trans advocates, and other LGBTQ+ advocates. He said hundreds of Hanlan's Beach users responded to surveys or attended other public events.

Still, he admitted that more consultation could have been done with the Hanlan's Beach LGBTQ+ community.

"We probably could have engaged further with Hanlan's Beach users, which is clear based on the feedback we're getting," he said.

Tim McCaskell, a longtime gay activist, attended an initial consultation meeting and said the idea of a festival space was never raised. He said the increased foot traffic and crowds that such a space could bring raise safety concerns about possible harassment.

"The real wealth of that area is that it is more natural, quieter, and less razzmatazz than the rest of the islands, and that's what attracts the people who want to go there," he said.

Members of Hands Off Hanlan's have combed through hundreds of documents generated by the engagement process and argue that community support for a festival event space is almost non-existent, according to the city's own research.

As one example, the groups cite the results of a digital outreach campaign that saw members of the public rate and comment on 140 "big idea" summaries. The document shows that the idea of having a publicly owned concert ground on the islands received a low rating compared to other ideas that were presented and that received high engagement.

Further, the group argues the city wants to "prioritize private profit over public space." As evidence, the group points to December 2020 meeting the city held with seven promoters and event management companies, including those involved with the Electric Island, Field Trip, Veld, and Boots & Hearts music festivals.

"When we have been doing the outreach that we have online, there's been an overwhelmingly negative response to this," said Myers.

Fusca said the proposal for an outdoor event space in its current form would "formalize" a space that has been already used for events for years. It could include an outdoor amphitheater defined by pathways and sloped lawns, with a power source and other infrastructure to support small-scale events, and would remain public when not being used for permitted events.

But Fusca stressed that the master plan is meant to serve as a high-level document, not a detailed implementation plan.

"The misunderstanding is that this will be a concert venue, replacing the Budweiser Stage," Fusca explained, "but this is the final baked plan."

Fusca said there will be additional opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community to provide input, including at two upcoming events.

The city is holding a virtual meeting on Thursday, Feb. 23, to discuss the outdoor event space idea. Meanwhile, a workshop at the 519 community center on Monday, Feb. 27, will focus on all the ideas proposed in the draft master plan for Hanlan's Point.

Fusca said these meetings will help the city determine the specific nature of the community's concerns and whether any "guardrails" would need to be in place to make people more comfortable or if the idea should simply be dropped altogether.

As one of the board’s student equity program advisers, it was part of Davila’s job to provide teachers with resources on anti-colonialism, anti-racism, police abolition as well as sexual and gender-based violence prevention, among other topics.

In recent months, he has sent bulletins on topics such as the Land Back movement, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and responses to the murder of Asian women working in massage parlours.

For 10 years, the board advertised Davila’s work on its website, directing people to email him if they wanted a weekly communication.

After violence broke out between Israelis and Palestinians last month, Davila shared two resources for teachers, one on May 16, the other on May 19.

Within days, a Toronto Sun columnist wrote not one or two but three pugilistic columns castigating Davila for being anti-Israeli.

Despite the vastness of the material — there were 30 titles and multiple academic footnotes —the Jewish advocacy group B’nai Brith quickly labelled it “anti-Semitic propaganda” and called on the school board to fire Davila.

The TDSB, which is usually coy about issuing statements on personnel matters and cites confidentiality, appeared to make an exception. “During this time, the staff member will be on home assignment. We are also in the process of removing this staff member’s current and previous group mailings/newsletters from TDSB email inboxes,” a spokesperson told media.

“Home assignment” means being put on ice, cut off from his workplace and not allowed to contact his colleagues.

The board also took down the page on its website that directed educators to Davila’s newsletter.

“We updated the page as it referred to a department (Gender-Based Violence Prevention) and titles that no longer existed as that area has been incorporated into the overall role of Student Equity Program Advisor,” TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird told the Star.

Retired TDSB educator Tim McCaskell, who did a job similar to Davila’s decades ago, said a misstep by someone not high in the hierarchy, even a controversial one, would have meant a chat with a supervisor and that would be the end of it. “But the board is so risk-averse now it doesn’t take much to send it into a tailspin,” he said.

McCaskell, who documented the board’s struggles with anti-oppression from the ’60s to 2000 in his book “Race to Equity,” said Davila’s situation reminds him of the years the board hosted annual anti-apartheid conferences in the ’80s. The South African embassy protested to the board but that didn’t stop the conferences.

If a speaker raised the parallels with Israeli apartheid or that Israel was a main ally of South Africa, the pushback did come hard and fast. But the board’s reaction was much milder then, he said. The Israeli lobby’s position was that criticizing Israel could foster anti-Semitism. Today it posits that criticizing Israel is anti-Semitism. “The conceptual framework has shifted,” he said. “Could you imagine organizing a conference on human rights in Palestine?”

Activists Seize Stage At AIDS Conference

MONTREAL [June 26, 1989] — To their own astonishment and to the cheers of many conference participants, more than 300 members of ACT UP/New York, Toronto’s AIDS Action Now, and Reaction SIDA of Montreal marched into the Palais des Congres, commandeered the escalators, entered the main conference site, took over the stage, demanded that the microphones be turned on, and, in the name of persons with AIDS, “officially” opened the Fifth International Conference on AIDS on June 4th [1989].

Three hours later, activists were again given free run of the huge conference site as they relentlessly heckled Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney throughout his 20-minute address to the conference. Although Mulroney has been in office over five years, it was his first major statement on AIDS.

The activists remained on the stage for nearly an hour. Montreal and Royal Canadian Mounted Police seemed unprepared for the rowdy, U.S.-style activism, and — to the obvious surprise of demonstrators — took no action at all.

Responding to posters and banners criticizing government inaction on AIDS, about half of the thousands of people awaiting the opening ceremonies cheered and applauded the disruption. After half an hour of chanting and stomping by the demonstrators, Toronto activist Tim McCaskell took the main microphone and announced, “On behalf of persons living with AIDS in Canada and around the world, I would like to officially open the Fifth International Conference on AIDS.” Referring to the disruption, McCaskell continued, “This conference has now changed international AIDS conferences forever.”

A lengthy manifesto was then read in both French and English. Activists demanded, among other things, […] enactment of an international code to preserve the rights of people with AIDS; development of an international data bank of AIDS information; an end to placebo drug trials; support for the right of women to control their bodies; medical aid to poor nations; and worldwide diversion of military spending to health-related projects.

Les policiers en uniforme ne pourront pas participer à la gay pride de Toronto

Pour la troisième année consécutive, aucun policier en uniforme ne participera à la gay pride de Toronto, en juin. Une mince majorité des membres de l'organisation Pride Toronto (163 contre 161) ont voté, mardi soir, contre la proposition du comité organisateur de permettre aux policiers de prendre part à l'événement. C'est un revers pour les organisateurs du défilé qui avaient annoncé en octobre dernier qu'ils permettraient aux policiers de participer à l'événement en 2019, après une interdiction de deux ans liée à l'affaire McArthur et des allégations de racisme et de discrimination contre le corps policier. La décision avait semé la controverse et divisé la communauté LGBTQ+ de Toronto. Dans une lettre diffusée en interne avant le vote, Pride Toronto avance que la baisse du financement était l'un des facteurs ayant contribué à sa décision de réexaminer son interdiction de faire participer la police au défilé. «J'ai été perturbé quand j'ai entendu dire que c'était une question d'argent, dit Tim McCaskell, un membre de la communauté LGBT  qui s'oppose à la participation au défilé des policiers en uniforme. Notre festival n'est pas un événement de relations publiques pour dire aux Torontois que tout va bien. C'est notre moment pour célébrer nos luttes et notre fierté.» De nombreux membres de la communauté homosexuelle accusent les policiers de faire du profilage et d’avoir bâclé les enquêtes liées à la disparition d'hommes du quartier gay, qui auraient été assassinés par le présumé tueur en série Bruce McArthur. Le défilé de la Fierté de Toronto se déroulera le 23 juin prochain.

Why, Spineless Dems, Why? Pompeo, Mattis, Kelly, and Carson all would have gotten enough votes from the other side anyway. Now you’re down as having approved the pick. No one cares what your real reason was for voting yes, you voted yes! Chuck Schumer, Amy Klobuchar, Claire McCaskell, Al Franken, Tim Kaine (Worst VP candidate EVER!.....or as he would say, “lo peor”!), Manchin, Feinstein, ELIZABETH FREAKING WARREN !!!!!

BOTH New Mexico’s Democratic Senators, Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich and New York’s Kristen Gillibrand voted AGAINST three of the four, thus far.

In New York, I’ll have Kristen’s back when she runs again, but not Schumer’s. The ReTHUGlicans stuck it to you good for 8 years of not opposition, but of obstruction, with the final icing on the cake of blocking President Obama’s Supreme Court pick for a whole freaking year.

Way to make them pay, Spineless Dems, way to make them pay.

Queer Progress by Tim McCaskell

2016, paperback

How did a social movement evolve from a small group of young radicals to the incorporation of LGBTQ communities into full citizenship on the model of Canadian multiculturalism?

Tim McCaskell contextualizes his work in gay, queer, and AIDS activism in Toronto from 1974 to 2014 within the shift from the Keynesian welfare state of the 1970s to the neoliberal economy of the new millennium. A shift that saw sexuality -- once tightly regulated by conservative institutions -- become an economic driver of late capitalism, and sexual minorities celebrated as a niche market. But even as it promoted legal equality, this shift increased disparity and social inequality. Today, the glue of sexual identity strains to hold together a community ever more fractured along lines of class, race, ethnicity, and gender; the celebration of LGBTQ inclusion pinkwashes injustice at home and abroad.

Queer Progress tries to make sense of this transformation by narrating the complexities and contradictions of forty years of queer politics in Canada's largest city.

We had the awesome opportunity to team up (once again),with our good friend Stephen McCaskell, who tasked us with putting together an opening sequence for a series Tim Challies is putting out next year.

As the series will follow Tim's journey around the world in search of important Christian artifacts, we wanted to capture that sense of travel, adventure, and history in this short sequence, while also hinting at some of the locations and objects that will be featured. We ended up with a crazy blend of cel, 2D, and 3D shots that all come together to bring the viewer into the journey as Tim experiences it.

[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: shadow, rent control, police at Pride, #InfinityAGO, Hearn

As the skyline of Toronto grows higher, an increasingly large number of people are finding themselves having to deal with being in permanent shadow. The Toronto Star reports.

Stefan Novakovic at Urban Toronto writes about how rent control makes sense for all classes of renters, here.

Tim McCaskell at NOW Toronto asks why the police is so insistent on getting into the Toronto Pride parade.
