PUBLISHER'S STATEMENT
EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS MATTER
Not long ago, the Toronto police morality squad raided a number of so-called "gay"
baths. They found, they say, men having sex with each other, a little S&M
action and underage boys, including one 14-year-old. They laid two basic kinds
of charge: the people owning and/or operating the baths were charged with keeping
a common bawdy house; the customers were charged as found-ins.
The busts raised a lot of hell. You may remember the newspaper stories. The gay
community staged protest marches, one of which erupted into riots. They wrote
letters and made angry public statements, saying the raids were politically motivated,
that the exposure of some 250 found-ins might well lead to firings, broken marriages
and suicides. They said, in effect, "We have a right to live our lives as
gay men. Stop harassing us."
The anti-gay organizations were equally vociferous. They commended the cops and
made general "Hallelujah! Stomp the fuckers!" noises.
In all the shouting, one simple but ultimately important fact seems to have been
overlooked: the raids and the common bawdy house charges were totally justified
under the law.
Understand, I am not saying anybody is guilty as charged. I'm just saying that
if what was reported in the papers was at all accurate, then there was enough
evidence to lay the charges.
I don't have the actual law here before me and I haven't time to go looking for
it, but I've talked to lawyers and I've followed court cases in the papers.
Common bawdy houses boil down to this: places, of any sort, set up and run for
on-premises sex. The sex doesn't have to be prostitution, but an entrance fee
to the premises strengthens the case. So does inviting the public. So does finding
people committing acts of "gross indecency" — a term that covers
virtually everything but two people straight-fucking alone in a closed room.
The action in the gay baths was close enough to lay charges. And so, almost a
year previously, was the action in three straight swingers' clubs. Two out of
three clubs lost their cases and their operators were fined or jailed.
So, legally, the gays and the straights are being treated equally — and
equally means like shit. Remember that the next time your swingers' club gets
busted or the next time you cheer on some little bit of homosexual harassment.
You and they are in the same boat, and if you believe, like I do, that the law
should keep its hands off our bodies, you'll fight for gay sexual liberty as much
as for your own.
But fight sensibly — don't scream about rights —legally you haven't
any! Change the law!
