A Million People & England’s Queen Crowd Toronto’s Gay Pride

More than a million people crowded Toronto on Sunday, decked out in fanciful costumes and hoisting rainbow flags as they celebrated thirty years of Pride in sweltering heat. In three decades, the parade for gay and lesbian rights has morphed into a place for politics and a place to party, as people on the streets sang, danced and cheered.
“It's the biggest party in the world, man,” said one person attending pride. “I've heard that it's better than San Francisco Pride, but I've never been,”
As the parade winded its way through city streets, people cheered, confetti was thrown and volunteers sprayed the sweaty masses with water guns as the crowd watched the parade.
It felt somehow fitting that Queen Elizabeth II spent her first full day in Toronto, on the same day as a million queens celebrated gay pride. Everybody in town was in a mood for a party.
Lady Gaga music blared over speakers strapped to trucks as people yelled out “Happy Pride.” The parade also featured drag queens dressed in heavy purple and pink taffeta dresses, carrying parasols.
Police also rode through the parade route, waving at people to show support. In the parade on Sunday, many people held signs that said “My Pride includes free speech.”

Man Sexually Assaults 15 year Old Boy He Met On Grindr

Grindr is an application that if you told a homosexual in the 1950s would one day exist, would probably fall over and die of a heart attack. Unlock your phone, click an icon, Grindr finds your location, and then shows you where other Grindr users around you. The purpose of the application? For gay, bi sexual, and curious men to hookup. Turns out that in Vancouver a 54 year old guy, and a 15 year old kid, got together via the application and things didn’t quite turn out so well. Police don’t exactly go into details, but the older gentleman was apprehended and charged with sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and sexual assault. See Vancouver Sun “Advances in technology and social networking make it easier for our children to come into contact with individuals who may try to harm them or take advantage of them.” — Sex Crimes Unit Sargent Jeanette Theisen The 15 year old knew what he was doing. The application isn’t exactly shy about what it’s supposed to be used for. “Start chatting with local guys in seconds. The go-to place for gay, bi, and curious guys to meet, the location-based Grindr is free, fast, and fun. Simply launch Grindr to see local guys (the closest appear first) and view pictures, stats, and map locations at a tap.” That being said, when you’re 54 years old you should kind of know better than to attempt to get into the pants of a random 15 year old boy you meet off the internet. You’d have a much better chance at getting your fix of chocolate starfish by joining the Catholic Church.

From Grindr.com: "Based in Los Angeles, California, Grindr is a start-up dedicated to finding new ways for people to connect. Our mobile phone application uses creative technology to help users make new friends and reconnect with old ones." "Gay, bi, and curious guys looking for a date can find him on Grindr, a location-based mobile social networking app available on iTunes." "Grindr is mobile and works based on your location. Grindr uses the GPS technology in the iPhone and Wi-Fi in the iPod touch to determine your exact location and instantly shows photos of the guys around you."

Town Has Major Controversy Over Sexual Activity Among Gay Men In Their Park

Truro, Novo Scotia - Canada -  town council members put off a vote Monday on whether to restrict access to a park entrance the mayor has labelled a gay pickup area as an advocacy group warned the town could develop a reputation for intolerance. The issue over the gate's placement sparked controversy last month when Mayor Bill Mills said it was being moved to reduce sexual activity by gay men. "It's a favourite pickup spot for guys from all over the Maritime provinces," Mills said at the time. "They go up and have a rendezvous and then they go into the woods and do their thing. It's been known for years and years and is becoming more and more of a problem." During Monday's meeting, several councillors reiterated their opposition to the mayor's comments and said they want to proceed debating whether moving the gate makes sense for other reasons. Charles Cox said he felt he was caught in a personal dilemma because he felt the current layout of the gate creates safety risks to skiers and bikers from cars driving into the small parking area. "I've almost personally been backed into," he said. "I wish we could figure out a way to solve some of the safety issues and not move the gate immediately so that we could remove those fears of prejudice." But Al McNutt, a spokesman for the Northern AIDS Connection Society, made a presentation to the council where he argued that the mayor's comments had shifted the issue to one of discrimination against gay men. He said the gay and lesbian communities have not forgotten when the mayor, citing his religion, refused to fly the gay rights rainbow flag at the town hall during Truro's inaugural gay pride celebration in 2007. Mills's remarks have raised questions about the true motives behind moving the gate, said McNutt. "Because of the flag issue and now this issue, it's really not saying very much about Truro," McNutt said. "Truro has a reputation from way back of stigmatization, discrimination, all those issues. We don't want to add another little bit to it." McNutt said his group isn't condoning the sexual activity in the park but believes that is an issue best left to police. "Leave the gate where it is and let the police do their job patrolling and charge anyone involved in inappropriate behaviour," he said. Mills didn't participate in Monday's debate. "I'm under investigation for hate crimes, so therefore it would be inappropriate at this time to offer comment," he said. During the meeting, the town's police chief said there was limited evidence of illegal activity in the park's entrance area. David MacNeil said there have been 45 complaints in the park in the past four years, including one complaint of an indecent act, two of public nudity and 10 of suspicious persons in vehicles. At the end of the meeting, several councillors agreed they were unclear on what the particular plan was for improving parking in the area, and asked for the matter to be delayed until the first week of February.

How Canada Tried To Purge Its Queers

Gary Kinsman and Patrizia Gentile want to launch their book The Canadian War on Queers at Ottawa’s Lord Elgin Hotel in March. It’s there, Kinsman says, that gay men began to turn the tables on RCMP surveillance officers taking photos from behind newspapers.
Kinsman and Gentile’s new book documents the government security apparatus used to root out gays and lesbians from Canada’s military and civil service starting in the 1950s, as the world emerged from World War II and the Cold War began.
In their research, Kinsman and Gentile found repeated tales of surveillance, illegal searches, interrogations and attempts at blackmail by police who attempted to force queers to out others so they could be targeted as well.
The state decided that gays and lesbians had character defects that made them susceptible to communist infiltration, Kinsman and Gentile discovered in official documents and interviews.
In short, the Canadian government decided that queers could not be trusted.

Raging Stallion's Pornstar Damien Crosse Video "Piss Off" Banned At Canadian Border

Pornstar Damien Crosse once said that if the afterlife involves reincarnation, he hopes to come back as a urinal. He loves piss that much. But even though Crosse loves watersports, the Canada Border Services Agency won't let one of his recent films into the country. Raging Stallion Studio's fetish flick Piss Off was recently deemed to be "obscene" by Canada's border censors. That's because CBSA says the "ingestion of someone else's urine... with a sexual purpose" is an indicator of obscenity. Even if it's consensual. The border agency considers the act of urinating into someone "degrading and dehumanizing, with a risk of substantial harm." Read The Entire Article At Xtra.Ca

Gay Films Seized in Canada

seized_laptopIs Canada an egalitarian gay haven? Think again. Marcus McCann reports in Xtra.com that Canada Border Services Agency customs officers have seized three gay-themed films en route to Ottawa’s three-day Inside Out gay film festival, which ends Sunday, Nov. 22. No explanation was given for the seizure — which, of course, is exactly what you’d expect to happen in a true democracy. The films are supposed to remain in custody until they’re watched in full by some border censor or other. (Curiously, the Inside Out website makes no mention of the border incident.) The three films in question are Adrian Shergold’s made-for-TV Clapham Junction, which follows a group of gay men in Clapham, South London, and which has some nudity; Shamim Sarif’s I Can’t Think Straight, a Middle East-set lesbian love story starring Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth; and Ella Lemhagen’s PG-rated Patrik Age. 1.5, the story of a gay couple who mistakenly end up adopting a teen thug. All three films have already been screened elsewhere in Canada. All three are Here! releases, a US-based distributor of gay-themed movies. In the past, Canadian border officials have been accused of harassing gays, and of arbitrarily confiscating gay literature and movies. Despite the country’s reputation of being more "liberal" than its southern neighbor, its border cops, obsessed with obscenity, are known as anything but — especially when it comes to homosexuality. In 2000, the Vancouver-based bookstore Little Sister’s sued the CBSA, taking the matter all the way to Canada’s Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the bookstore. Clearly, the ruling hasn’t prevented the agency from going after other gay-oriented venues. When told about the pending fate of the festival’s three films, festivalgoers booed and hissed upon hearing mention of the CBSA. Now, the question is: why haven’t those bigots been sued again so they’ll stop — for good — their anti-gay harassment?

Canada Quietly Marks Anniversary For Gays In Military While U.S. Debate Rages

Gays Military 20091022While Barack Obama plunges his country into a controversial debate about gays in the U.S. military, he could perhaps find comfort in the Canadian experience which celebrates an anniversary milestone next week. The U.S. president has promised to repeal America's policy of, 'Don't ask, don't tell,' reviving a heated debate in his country that has not made a ripple in Canada since Oct. 27, 1992. On that day Canada's Federal Court ruled that barring homosexuals from military service violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a landmark verdict that prompted more openly gay men and women to join the ranks of the Army, Air Force and Navy. In the last 17 years, many have risen to the top in their respective fields - an otherwise impossible feat under rules that once barred the promotion of enlisted individuals who'd been outed. Luc Cassivi is one of them. He certainly didn't talk about his sexual orientation when he joined the Canadian Navy in 1983. He's now the highest-ranking sailor aboard HMCS Ville de Quebec, a commander in the Navy, and he's no longer shy about who he is. "I've been openly gay for a number of years. My friends and my co-workers know it and it surely has not been an impediment for me progressing," Cassivi said in an interview aboard his Halifax-based frigate. "I'm not saying that things have always been rosy. There were periods when things were difficult for a lot of people. . . But I think we're well past that at this point." According to the Palm Centre, a California-based think tank focused on research related to gender, sexuality and the military, Canada is a leader among the 25 countries that now permit military service by openly gay people. Canadian Forces chaplains have been blessing same-sex weddings on military bases since 2005 and, over the last four years, military recruiters have participated in gay-pride festivals in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal and Vancouver. Cassivi spent 15 years in tight quarters as a submariner. He said he's experienced his share of awkward moments and uncomfortable jokes. There were even times he considered leaving the military. But once the rules changed, he says, so did the culture. Opportunities began to surface. These days, Cassivi says, success is dictated by performance. "It's not colour, cultural background, gender or the like. It's (whether) you are competent at what you do," he said. "If you're competent at what you do, then the team will take you in and fully integrate you." Cassivi said coming out with his colleagues merely simplified his life. He doesn't see himself as a champion for gay rights and says this is the first time he's ever spoken in the media about his sexuality. What he's most concerned about, he says, is getting the best out of his crew. "I believe in the power of the people who work for me. It's really about them at the end of the day," he said. "I try to do the best job I can and if somebody sees me as a role model, good for them. If what I do inspires them to carry on and achieve their full potential, that's great, but that's for them to judge, not me." Michelle Douglas is heartened to learn just how much things have changed for her fellow homosexuals. The 45-year-old public servant was inadvertently thrust into the spotlight when she was discharged from the military police in 1989 because she was - in their words - "not advantageously employable due to homosexuality." She had no idea at the time the historic impact her legal challenge would have, but as the anniversary of that fateful victory approaches, Douglas said she's thrilled to have played a "small part" in the rights movement. "It was a real turning point for equality rights for gay and lesbian people in Canada," she said. "To have such an institution as the military now be open to gay and lesbian service members was an important victory." While she never did return to the Canadian Forces, she was pleased to see service members marching for the first time at Toronto's pride festival in 2008. "I approached them and told them who I was. They kind of had heard of my case but for them it was really something they saw as history," she said. "It was heartwarming to me to know that there had been such advances. . . that it could now be viewed as history and people could just get on with their lives and serve their country proudly and openly." Megan MacLean, a spokeswoman for Canada's Department of National Defence, said the military keeps no statistics regarding homosexual members but says gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people serve in all three branches of the military. Since the rules changed in 1992, she said, incidents of discrimination and harassment have been "extremely rare." She touted Canada as a global leader when it comes to inclusiveness. She noted, however, that the Obama administration had not sought any Canadian advice on how to tackle the thorny subject. Nathaniel Frank, a senior researcher in the U.S. with the Palm Centre, said that's not an unlikely proposition. Every time the debate surfaces in the U.S., he said officials look to more liberal countries like Canada and Britain. While American conservatives often dismiss Canada and Western Europe as too laissez-faire, Frank said that's inaccurate. There was actually plenty of political opposition before the Canadian ban was lifted, he said, and a majority of male soldiers polled prior to 1992 said they'd refuse to shower, undress, or sleep in the same room as a gay comrade. "The same kinds of rhetoric we heard here (in the U.S.) during our debate in the early 1990s and since - that this would never work, that it would undermine morale and cohesion, that the military would suffer and that it's too big a risk - were also heard in Canada," Frank said. But a 2000 study of the Canadian experience by the University of California research group found no basis for the allegations. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered soldiers reported good working relationships with their peers; incidences of sexual harassment among women dropped; and not a single assault could be attributed to gay-bashing. The study concluded that lifting the ban on openly gay members had no bearing on military performance, unit cohesion, or discipline. He expects the same would be true if the U.S. dropped its 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy and says he's optimistic nay-sayers won't be able to stave off change for much longer. "We know we're standing on the right side of history," he said.

Toronto to Host World Pride 2014

World Pride Toronto 20091018Toronto is already planning the festivities for when it hosts the World Pride event in 2014. The city beat out Stockholm to host the international political and cultural event that promotes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. Mark Singh, chair of the city's World Pride committee, said the festival will highlight the acceptance of the gay community by Canadians. So far the program calls for an opening ceremony with a parade of nations and an international human rights conference. There will also be an AIDS candlelight vigil along with three parades including a Trans March, a Dyke March and Pride Parade. The 2014 events will replace the city's usual Pride Week, and will be scheduled to celebrate Canada Day and the U.S. Independence Day. Toronto resident Matthew Middleton celebrated Sunday's announcement on Church Street. "This is fantastic for strictly gay tourism, and for showing how accepting a city we are," Middleton said.

Toronto a 'gay-friendly' city: Rae

Organizers estimate that it will cost $10 million to host the international event. Coun. Kyle Rae said he hopes Ottawa will help cover part of the cost. "I would expect the federal government would get on board and highlight our achievements as an equity-seeking society," Rae said. Rae said the decision to give the event to Toronto is a reflection of the city's reputation as a gay-friendly city. "I think people in other jurisdictions recognize that there's something speical in Toronto," Rae said. Pride Toronto officials said last summer's Pride Week contributed more than $100 million to the province's economy. Organizers said World Pride could contribute five times that much.

Canadian Football Hero Wanted in Brutal Gay Bashing

attackAlex Myros was, until recently, a player with a Canadian semi-pro American football team, the London Silverbacks; his heroic efforts earlier this year helped save the lives of two children. Now police are looking for Myros in connection with the brutal anti-gay attack that left an Ontario man with multiple injuries. The London Free Press reported in an article that was posted to Web site CNews on Sept. 16 that Myros may face an array of charges in the case, including assault and forcible confinement. A story at EDGE from Sept. 15 recounted how 22-year-old modeling agent Brandon Wright was reportedly contacted through a text message by a man who later assaulted him. BrandonWrightThe man, who identified himself as Alex, sought a career in modeling, but was told by Wright that he "didn’t have the looks." The attacker subsequently lured Wright to his vehicle, a black Ford pickup, and then drove off with Wright in the passenger seat. Wright then suffered numerous blows from a metal object as the driver screamed anti-gay epithets and death threats at him. Wright leapt from the truck, hitting the pavement in front of a number of witnesses who then stepped forward to offer him their assistance. Wright was treated for lacerations, a broken arm, and other injuries, according to media reports. The attack took place in London, a city in Ontario. The assailant, Wright said, mentioned being from Thunder Bay, another Ontario town where, only four days previously, another gay man had been attacked and badly beaten by a mob of up to eight men. The London incident is being treated as a hate crime, the Free Press article said. Wright was quoted as saying, "I’m happy about the warrant [on Myros], but I’ll wait and see what happens now. "It’s not very reassuring in terms of my safety," Wright added. The article filled in some of the suspect’s background, noting that last June 21 his football team were on the way back to London from a match that had taken place in Indianapolis when another vehicle slammed into the team’s bus and caught fire. Myros was one of several team members who rescued two minors--the 16-year-old driver and her 12-yer-old brother--from the burning wreckage. The children’s mother was also in the vehicle, but was killed. Myros and the others were acclaimed as heroes for the rescue. But on Sept. 1, Myros lost his spot on the Silverbacks. The team’s owner, Al Lazar, called Myros’ suspected involvement in Wright’s beating "a shock," the article reported. "He’s always been a good member of the team and we were certainly proud of what he did in the crash," the articl quoted Lazar as saying. "But [the anti-gay assault allegation] comes as a shock. Alex isn’t that kind of person." EDGE- BOSTON reporting post
