History Lessons for Misanthropes
History
In this episode, Dr. Mildred Strange discusses the 1981 bath house raids in Toronto on February 5th 1981. We discuss how the raid was poorly conducted by the police, caused unnecessary property damage, used fear tactics and was founded in institutionalized discrimination against the gay community. This event resulted in the arrest of over 300 men and sparked protests which eventually evolved into Toronto's Pride week.
