CGiii Comment
A fantastic example of how gay history is skewed...and, hi-jacked.
This is about bath-houses...an exclusive domain of gay men...yet, the first person to talk in this film is a lesbian 'spokeperson'...
It also serves as a reminder...of how offensive the word 'queer' is (and will always be)...who 'reclaimed' this word?!? Was feminism not enough?
Lesbians never experienced the same hate and criminality as gay men did/do...they were not called 'queer' in the schoolyards.
The younger generation should watch this - those that identify as 'queer' because they were told to by those who were never called 'queer'....
Angry...you bet.
Watch...
The(ir) Blurb...
Documentary on the growth of Toronto's gay community including positive developments as well as the infamous 'Operation Soap' where the Toronto Police raided gay bath houses, and the subsequent protests.
