6 weeks of undercover police propositioning people in the park led to one criminal charge. And you guys are defending it.

Is it really that controversial to think that if, over the course of six weeks, TPS hands out thousands of dollars in fines to almost exclusively gay men for public loving, that maybe we should be looking for a different explanation and solution then sending out our finest jackbooted thugs to extort money until the gays go away?

i hope the tps turn their attention to teenagers trading handies in movie theatres next. Like i don't know if any of you guys have ever been to this park but it seems like the scourge public sex could have been way better handled with better lighting and regular bike cop patrols not a 6 week sting operation. The surrounding area has been heavily gentrified in the last 5 years which seems like the most salient bit.

Yes, this would have been cheaper and more effective, as well as helped to reduce crime in general in the area and promoted positive police/community interactions. It would not however have disproportionately targeted homosexuals. Funny, that.

Reading about people's thoughts on drug deaths on social media, gossip around town, and gems like "Vibrant Victoria" there seems to be a ton, potentially majority, of people who don't care or even think it's a good thing. Street addicts cost society money, live miserable lives, and contribute nothing. Them dying from an OD ends their suffering and is a net benefit to society. People will either outright proudly admit this view, or at the least say that they dont' really feel anything and just don't care.

Technically, those fellows were doing the right thing by hiding their nightmare-inducing dongs from impressionable minds. I suppose that never occurred to Toronto's finest in the minutes between when they finished up masturbating and moved in for the arrest, though.

The pernicious effects of the law should concern all Canadians. To this day, there remains considerable confusion about its application. As usual, police have taken advantage of ambiguity in the law. Even after Ontario struck down the law in 1995, police continued to charge people with anal intercourse. Between 2008 and 2014 in Ontario, 22 people were charged with anal intercourse under Section 159. Two of those were youth. More than half of those charged in Quebec were youth. http://egale.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FINAL_REPORT_EGALE.pdf

M.McFly posted:Just to add to this, there have instances where Police have been specifically invite to wear their uniforms in the march by Pride organizers. This happened just last year in Calgary. The only instances I can find where Police have been asked not to attend in uniform have all come from BLM and BLM-type groups, and all in the past year or so. This is why accusations of 'co-opting the march' are flying around. I was at College Park when the BLM protest happened. I can assure it was a rainbow coalition of pissed off people who thought they were under attack. And by that I mean, they started their protest off with smoke bombs one week after the Orlando massacre. On top of that there had been that Pride event overseas a year earlier that was attacked with smoke bombs. To pile on the "my gay friends say..." thing, I was with a POC gay couple, my lesbian sister and her wonderful bear friend, so it's just swell watching all my straight white friends talk about shutting up and letting BLM speak for all black and/or gay people in order to be a good ally. The idea that this ban has achieved anything progressive is magical thinking. Wokus pocus. This whole thing has been the turning point of me realizing why I can barely stand activists anymore. It's not any of the causes, it's that the type of people who become their leaders all want to showcase power, when the thing that's going to win me over is showing their vulnerability. When someone is shouting "we dont feel safe with police around" over a megaphone while they're also setting off smoke bombs in a public space, I can barely take you seriously let alone have empathy for you. Someone taking the microphone and telling their personal stories of what made them come to fear police presence is more effective to me than slogans and posing. Anyhow, if Pride felt like things with police had gotten better over the years, they were in a position to act as a bridge builder between BLM and cops and blew their chance to make a difference.
