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

Recap May 2023

City of Valleys  21 sections, about 43,000 words posted so far with  88,000 approx yet to be edited then posted.  Among the movies I watched in May are: All About My Mother (1999) Pedro Almodóvar’s glossy, soap-opera tribute to All About Eve & A Street Car Named Desire. Colourful, soulful & I was happy to see it again. One of those movies in which no one has just one problem – she’s a nun, she’s…

Gerald Hannon, a key figure in the gay liberation movement, has died at age 77

Friends and colleagues recall one of Canada’s most infamous journalists and longtime board member of Xtra’s publisher

Canadian queers owe a lot to the legacy of Gerald Hannon, one of the key contributors to The Body Politic, a groundbreaking homo magazine of the early 1970s. Hannon, who had Parkinson's disease, died by assisted suicide on May 9, 2022. Xtra gathered up recollections from close friends and published them here. Below is one of these entries:

“After a swanky dinner, Herbie pulled out his dick and slapped it on the table”

It is hard to imagine how my life would have turned out differently had I not met Gerald Hannon. He opened not only the world of gay people to me, but also opera. Gerald was my first boyfriend; at the time he was the most famous homosexual in Canada, and even still today is the only person I have ever met who actually saw Sputnik. 

Gerald and I met in 1982, at a party at Michael Lynch’s house, where I was James Fraser’s date. This was the pre-AIDS era where at parties The Body Politic people would nod and seriously opine, “Promiscuity really is the glue that holds the gay community together.” I said “Oh, who is that, he’s cute.” James then introduced me to Gerald. It turned out I really liked Gerald. In fact, he was quite fun. 

At the beginning I was still in architect school; things were tight, but he wasn’t any wealthier—full-time at Pink Triangle Press was paying $8K/year—so, it worked. Gerald, who was once slightly frightened by the Royal York Hotel—emerging from Union Station the first time, it was the biggest thing he had ever seen—got a crash course in architecture, and I, a crash course in the wonders of being gay, by masters of the craft, his circle of friends, most of whom were somehow connected to The Body Politic. 

One time, Gerald and I went to New York City for a long weekend. We stayed with his friend Herb Spiers, who lived in a loft near Gramercy Park. He had the whole second floor of an old commercial building that his boyfriend Ray Gray had purchased for a song when New York almost went bankrupt in the mid-1970s. Ray’s space was the whole top floor of the building (and the roof), which we visited using a tiny elevator that only stopped at two and seven. It was crazy awesome, also exactly what you would want.

Ray was an interior designer from Hollywood, California. Handsome. His loft, fully marbleized, was adorned with big Babylonian movie flats and large paintings. After a swanky dinner, Herbie pulled out his dick and slapped it on the table; it was his way of saying it was time to go to the Saint, an unbelievably fabulous private gay club inserted into an old theatre. For a brief moment there, I got a glimpse of the A-list New York gay life I had only ever read about, or heard about from Gerald, in what would turn out to be the last moments before it all went bad. Ray would be dead in a year. 

Gerald took me to the Anvil, the Everard, the St. Mark’s, the Mineshaft. He thought I should see these places, so many stories were attached to them. But also he took me to a party at the home of the writer Jonathan Katz, where we both met the gay hero Harry Hay, founder of the Mattachine Society, the first gay rights organization. Both publicly and later privately, Harry was generous with praise for Gerald’s writing and activism; that is where I really got the sense of the importance of Gerald. Without Gerald, not just our city, but all Canada, would have been less free. He opened up the law, throat-rammed it until it hurt, turned himself into the Antichrist in the eyes of some, while carving out a larger space in our society for LGBTQ folk, who were always there anyways (also the whores). If they knew Gerald as I do, they would know his gentle kindness, his passion, his humour and love. Being with him makes me happy and I will miss him so.

— Chris Lea served as the first openly gay leader of a Canadian political party (Green Party of Canada) and was on the board of the Toronto City Opera with Gerald Hannon

Samurai Cop (1991)

In terms of movies that are so bad they're good, Samurai Cop has it all. The razor-thin plot is little more than an excuse to string together car chases, overly violent fights, ridiculous characters, equally bewildering dialogue, gratuitous sex scenes, laughable performances, unconvincing wigs, badly dubbed extras, befuddling editing choices and the kind of mistakes only a director drunken on their own power could make. It constantly surprises you despite a story devoid of any imagination.

To combat the Japanese gang that’s taken over Los Angeles' cocaine trade, “samurai” policeman Joe Marshall (Mathew Karedas) joins the force. With his partner Frank Washington (Mark Frazer), the two make a break in the case when Joe catches the eye of Jennifer (Janis Farley), a woman whom crime lord Fuj Fujiyama (Cranston Komuro) is attempting to romance.

You might’ve seen one of the film’s best scenes on YouTube at some point: the one where Joe talks to a flirty hospital nurse whose pickup lines you’d expect to hear coming from a drunken frat boy. Trust me, that’s just the beginning. This movie feels like it was conceived by a horny, bloodthirsty 13-year-old and written by aliens. While on a bust, Joe will say something to fellow officer Peggy (Melissa Moore) and you’ll think “That’s a weird line; you could probably take that one the wrong way without trying much…” only to realize the innuendo wasn’t accidental at all! You shouldn’t be surprised when it happens over and over, but you will be.

Eventually, you’ll realize this movie was shot most of the way, only for the production to run out of money and shooting to resume months later (it explains why Matthew Maredas has to wear a wig in his first scene). It's obvious, but you're taken aback. You’re not used to seeing movies this earnest made this badly. Samurai Cop has recurring jokes, the kind of recurring jokes that anyone with any kind of good sense would’ve thrown away and then burned out of shame. When writer/director Amir Shervan shoots a man emerging from a burning vehicle, he doesn’t think to ask the stunt guy to scream or act like he's in pain. All he sees is a man COVERED IN FLAMES, exactly as he’d envisioned it, which means it's a flawless take.

The plot of Samurai Cop is so basic it would’ve been as dull as a butter knife if it weren’t for the constant blunders. In one scene, the actors are clearly done delivering their lines and are waiting for the director to yell “CUT!” After he did, the editor (either Ruben Zadurian or Amir Shervan once more) didn’t go ahead and eliminate those extra few seconds of nothing; they kept them in. You’re as dumb-struck as the performers, wondering if there’s something you’re supposed to do to make this ordeal end… and then it does, so you breathe a sigh of relief. If Samurai Cop pulled that stunt on you, there's no telling what's next. Will it be two goons dubbed over by what has to be the director, using the same voice, in a row? How about someone going from 0 to 100 in one second, or some pointless nudity? You don’t know but every time, your response will be “Oh, well of course!”

The glory that is Samurai Cop cannot be contained in a few hundred words, and it can’t be summarized in a “best of video” either. If you have friends who don't understand why you like watching bad movies, show them this one. They'll be howling in no time. (September 1, 2021)

Cassette, boitier et jaquette en bon état général Présenté ici en version italienne   Titre original : Samuraï Cop Titre(s) alternatif(s) :Le Samuraï de Los Angeles (Québec) Réalisateur(s) :Amir Shervan Année : 1991 Nationalité : Etats-Unis Acteurs principaux :Robert Z'Dar, Gerald Okamura, Matt Hannon, Mark Frazer, Melissa Moore, Janis Farley, Cranston Komuro, Dale Cummings, Jimmy Williams Article paru sur le site Nanarland : Précisons tout de suite que le film ne correspond pas exactement à ses supports publicitaires (identiques en France et aux USA). L’œuvre tente en effet de se vendre comme un succédané de « Maniac Cop », où le colosse Robert Z’Dar interprétait un flic serial killer indestructible. Présence de Z’Dar, flic décapiteur en uniforme… tous les ingrédients pour une copie carbone de « Maniac Cop » semblent réunis. Sauf que « Samuraï Cop » n’est nullement une histoire de policier devenu tueur fou, mais un succédané de « L’Arme fatale », mâtiné d’un soupçon de « Black Rain ». On croit acheter un film d’horreur, on a un film d’action bourrin. A part la présence de Robert Z’Dar et le fait qu’un flic (sans uniforme) se batte au sabre de samouraï, on n’est pas loin de la tromperie sur la marchandise. Mais comme le sait tout chineur vidéophile, on a vu bien pire au royaume des jaquettes… #oiseaumortvintage #melodieensoussol #cassettevideo #vhs #samouraicop https://www.instagram.com/p/CbK7mqfsg1G/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pride is a Protest, 2021

With Dionisios Vriniotis as part of (Studio(Venn)Studio) Commissioned by Pride Toronto as part of their 40th Anniversary at Grange Park, the site of the first Pride celebrations.

An assembly of invisible protestors appears as an examination of the duality of lgbtq+ pride.

From one side, the colours represent our various communities coming together in celebration. The pageantry, the parade, the parties. The freedom, the euphoria, the joy.

On the other is what made these celebrations possible. The marches, the protests, the uprising. The people, the anger, the voices.

Our shared history must find a way to pass from generation to generation of families and chosen families. Placed together here, there is a call to mobilize and continue to resist, persist, and stand up for our community worldwide.

This is our history. This is our present. Pride came from protest. Pride is a protest.

Horse racing tips: Newbury, Ayr, Bath and Southwell – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for the racing this Friday, April 20

NEWBURY  1.50 WELL DONE FOX was a relatively expensive purchase and he is bred for speed so this 5f should be ideal at this early stage of his career. Richard Hannon has a solid record with horses like this and he should know his job. The betting will be a good guide to the others but Gerald Mosse’s mount Glory Fighter should also know his job on debut. 2.25 TALLOW caught the eye when winning two…

소아성애를 합법화하기 위한 동성애자들의 노력 - 캐나다 편

소아성애를 합법화하기 위한 동성애자들의 노력 - 캐나다 편

소아성애를 합법화하기 위한 동성애자들의 노력 – 캐나다 편 

  

캐나다 온타리오주는 이미 이성애자와 스스로를 동성애자로 인식하는 사람 모두의 승인 연령을 14세로 낮추었다. 1995년 5월에 온타리오 항소 법원의 로잘리 아벨라는 항문 성교의 승인 연령을 14세로 낮추었는데 이는 온타리오의 소도미 법(동성 간 성행위를 처벌하는 법)은 18세 이하의 남자의 기본적인 성적 표현의 형성을 부정하는 것으로 결론내렸기 때문이다.

              같은 해, 캐나다 대법원은 개인의 성적 취향은 인종, 성별, 국적 및 민족의 기원등과 유사하게 인권과 자유 헌장 15항을 통해 각자에게 특별한 보호를 받을 자격을 주었다는 것을 주지했다. 그러므로 캐나다의 동성애자들은 특별한 소수자의 자격을 얻었다. 게다가 1999년 5월에 대법원은 온타리오 주의 가정법을 무효로 하고, 지방정부에 배우자라는 용어에 동성애 파트너도 포함시켜 재정의 할 것을 주문하였다. 판결은 동성 간 결혼을 향한 중요한 한걸음으로 비춰졌다.  

 

1995년에 보수적인 캐나다 잡지인 Alberta Report/ Western Report는 캐나다의 전국 신문인 Globe and Mail이 명백히 소아성애의 원인에 대한 기사를 많이 할애했다고 보도했다. 1994년 3월에 Globe는 토론토의 Ryerson Poly Tech University의 저널리즘 교수인 Gerald Hannon에 의해 작성된 성적 동의의 연령을 낮추는 데에 관한 흥미로운 기사를 다룬 적이 있다. 

 

      1994년 11월에 Globe and Mail은 또한 캐나다 역사상 가장 악명 높은 아동 성추행 범으로 간주된 한 투옥된 소아성애자에 관해 동정을 표하는 기사를 다루었다. 그리고 1995년 3월에, 이 신문은 온타리오주 런던의 경찰서장이 제보된 소아성애자 그룹을 기소한 것에 대한 Hannon의 비판적인 기사를 다루었다.

    

Hannon의 이름을 주시해 볼 필요가 있는데, 그는 공인된 동성애자일 뿐만 아니라 NAMBLA(The North American Man/Boy Love Association)의 옹호자이고 세대간 섹스를 주장하기 때문이다. 1977년에 Hannon은 Body Politic이라는 동성애 잡지에 “소년과 남성을 사랑하는 남자” 라는 제목의 글을 쓴적이 있다. 1994년 1월에 Hannon은 동성애 격주지인 Xtra에 어린이 하키팀을 아동성범죄 조직에 비교하는 글도 작성하였다.  

 

 

Hannon은 다음과 같은 글을 썼다. “어떻게 어린이 하키팀이 아동성범죄 조직(아동과 섹스하는 그룹을 가르키는 말, 이 사람은 아동과의 섹스를 범죄라고 생각하지 않음-역주)과 다른지 이해할 수 없다. 둘다 어린이와 어른을 포함하고 있고, 둘다 즐거움을 포함한다. 그러나 우리는 어린이 하키팀은 인정하지만, 아동성범죄 조직에 대해서는 개탄한다.” 

       

   

1996년에 Hannon은 그가 동성애 남성 매춘부로 8년간 일했던 것을 인정한 후로 Ryerson 대학과의 재계약에 실패하였다. Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives 웹사이트는 Hannon의 경력의 연대기와 남색(남성 동성애 아동 성추행)의 솔직한 동성애 옹호의 논란을 상세히 게재했다. 또한 이 웹사이트는 1971년부터 현재까지 캐나다 동성애 운동가들의 형사법을 개선하는 노력(동성애 및 허용 연령 관련)의 역사를 독자들에게 제공한다. 1995년 3월에, 판사들은 온타리오주의 항문 섹스법이 헌법에 위배된다고 판시하였는데 이는 다른 성행위보다 항문섹스가 더 높은 허용 연령을 필요로 하기 때문이다. 1995년 8월에, 법원은 모든 성행위의 허용연령을 14세로 규정하면서, 온타리오주의 성행위에 대한 모든 연령의 차이를 무효화했다.  

     

      Hoover 기관 연구소 연구원인 Arnold Beichman은 Hannon의 사건과 아동성애를 정당화 시키려는 캠페인을 1996년에 워싱턴 타임즈에 기술하였다. Beichman은 다음과 같이 언급했다. “도덕성의 변화는 하루아침에 일어나지 않습니다. 그것은 지하실의 홍수와 같이 종종 조용하게 사회로 스며듭니다. 한때 다소 혐오스러운 개인의 행동이 시간이 흐르면서 허용이 되고, 괜찮아지고 심지어 칭찬을 받을만한 일이 됩니다. 나는 아동성애가 존경받지 않는다면 적어도 받아 들이게 만드는 조용한 캠페인을 생각중입니다.”

       

전통가족 회복 단체 Real Women of Cananda의 전 수장인 Judy Anderson은 런던 경찰서장에 대한 Hannon의 공격에 대한 긴 반박문을 작성하여, 이것을 Globe and Mail에 제출하여 출간토록 하였다. 문서는 거절되었지만 그것의 요지가 1995년 5월 15일에 Alberta Report/Western Report의 이슈로 인쇄되었다. 거기에서 그녀는 캐나다 정부가 인권 규정에 ‘성적 지향‘을 추가하는 지경에 있기 때문에, 그것은 아동성애가 결국 하나의 ‘성적 지향‘으로 간주되고 규정에 의해 보호받을 수 있다는 것과 같다고 언급했다. 그녀는 캐나다 법원이 어린아이와의 성행위를 금지하는 어떤 법이라도 무효화 시키기는 쉬울 것이라는 것을 목격했다.

 

           

  Anderson은 또한 캐나다에서 어른/아이의 ‘사랑‘에 대한 사회적 수용을 얻기 위해 지속적인 캠페인이 있다는 것을 지적했다. 예를들어, 토론토에서 배포되고 있는 성교육 팜플렛에서 성인 남자와 성행위를 하는 소년을 보여주었다. 사진 아래의 설명에서는 다음과 같이 말하고 있다. “성인 남자와의 성행위는 커밍아웃 만큼이나 무서울 수 있다. 그러나 게이가 되는 것처럼, 성인 남자와의 성행위도 자연스러운 것이다.”

위의 글은 2000년도에 작성된 글로 아래의 글에서 발췌하여 건사연에서 번역하였습니다.

위 글의 원제는 HOMOSEXUAL/PEDOPHILE EFFORTS IN CANADA  이며  

전체 내용은 소아성애를 합법화 하기 위한 동성애자들의 노력을 기술하고 있습니다.

동성애자들은 자신들과 소아성애자들을 동일하게 취급하지 말라고 얘기하고 있지만

일부 급진 동성애자들은 소아성애를 합법화하기 위해서 노력하고 있고

그 노력들은 결과로 나타나 여러 나라에서 성관계를 할 수 있는 허용 연령이 점차 낮아지고 있습니다.

  이것은 성인 동성애자들이 어린 소년, 소녀들과 성관계를 갖기 위해서 노력한 결과입니다.

일부 급진 동성애자들의 소아성애 합법화 노력과 성관계 허용 연령을 낮추는 일,

이것은 우리나라에서도 동성애가 합법화 된다면 충분히 일어날 수 있는 일이라 생각합니다.
