.On February 5, 1981, the Toronto police initiated ?Operation Soap? ? the code name for brutal police raids on several of Toronto?s gay bathhouses. In the largest mass arrest since the October Crisis, 286 men were arrested and charged as found-ins, and twenty men are charged as keepers of bawdy houses. In subsequent trials, all but one of the ?found-ins? were acquitted (CBC Archives).

A documentary on the bathhouse raids and the ensuing protests quotes Duncan McLaren, one of the men who was charged as a found-in at the Barracks bathhouse. McLaren describes his victimization by the police:

?We ended up in the shower room and we were all told to strip? But I think one of the most chilling things was? one of the cops said, looking at all the showers and the pipes going into the shower room; he said ?gee, it?s too bad we can?t hook this up to gas?.? (Stand Together)


The following evening, over 3000 members and supporters of Toronto?s gay community united to demonstrate against these raids. A second protest was held on Feb. 20 at Queen?s Park, with over 4000 people gathering to call for increased rights and protection for gays and lesbians in Canada. In the aftermath of the raids, the Toronto City Council commissioned an investigation into community relations between the police and the gay community. The report recommended a permanent dialogue committee between the two groups



we never doubted anyone from canada had balls..just never knew it was the homos and lesbians that had the biggest:1orglaugh

yeah people in canada are strange.they will fight to death over ,hockey,beer and gaybath houses:1orglaugh

.. and weed - don't forget the weed

i dont know, I love my canadian brothers, but I seem to recall your gov giving up Marc Emery. They shouldve rioted then. But at least world-wide protests did occur.

it would never of happened under a liberal government. fucking harper sold him up the river.

as for the article, thats pretty funny but there were more 'riots' in toronto recently for the G20.

Understandable, I am not that familiar with the tyrants of your land, however, I know the dispicable actions of the DEA and Canadian Government acting on their behalf.

FREE MARC EMERY, he is in Georgia Correctional right now I believe.

a majority of the g20 protestors were not from canada...most canadiens were at home watching the 2010 NFL draft on tv:winkwink:

Though as of May 23 2003 legalized possession so there is no law banning the possession of small amounts of marijuana in Ontario

Its amazing how many people travel around protesting. We had more than 40k people here to protest the Enviroment summit they just had.

And can you believe that they got away with " Flinging Poo! "

3,000 people in a riot is a huge number.

yes especially for 1981....i knew there were alot of gays in canada but i didnt relize there were 3000 in tornonta taking baths:1orglaugh
