00:00:36,198 --> 00:00:44,197
June 28, 1937

3
00:00:50,646 --> 00:00:53,983
<i>"...Everyone began to arrive, one
after another, that Friday afternoon.</i>

4
00:00:54,008 --> 00:01:00,432
<i>Dorian Gray was the first, then Frida
Kahlo of Mexico and Langston Hughes,</i>

5
00:01:00,483 --> 00:01:02,965
<i>and then Yukio Mishima,
all with cards

6
00:01:02,998 --> 00:01:05,573
<i>forged invitation
signed with our names,</i>

7
00:01:05,604 --> 00:01:07,893
<i>inviting them to
some conference.</i>

8
00:01:07,918 --> 00:01:11,337
<i>When Sergei Eisenstein arrived,
We were in the garden,

9
00:01:11,362 --> 00:01:14,909
<i>trying to take advantage of the time.
Frida painted a portrait of Dorian Gray..."</i>

10
00:01:15,015 --> 00:01:19,128
<i>From unpublished memoirs
by Florence Wyle.</i>

11
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:55,061
The URINARY

12
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Hey everyone! This is Mr. Sergei
Eisenstein, the Moscow filmmaker.

13
00:02:10,395 --> 00:02:14,000
It seems to be the last victim
of this strange joke.

14
00:02:14,548 --> 00:02:18,013
Sergei, you are always relaxed.

15
00:02:20,291 --> 00:02:21,818
Like you maybe in New York.

16
00:02:21,858 --> 00:02:25,000
At least four years passed
from that brief and crazy Moscow.

17
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
What are you doing here?

18
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,995
We'll know soon, I guess.
Did you also receive one of those letters?

19
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:33,525
Yes, but Miss Loring told me
said there was some kind of mistake.

20
00:02:34,208 --> 00:02:35,968
What do you think?

21
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,591
Well it seems we all get
these invitations to attend

22
00:02:39,603 --> 00:02:43,000
to some kind of conference here,
but it turned out to be a hoax.

23
00:02:43,575 --> 00:02:45,935
It seems as if someone had
falsified our name.

24
00:02:46,068 --> 00:02:48,692
I am Florence Wyle,
Mr. Eisenstein.

25
00:02:49,657 --> 00:02:52,503
My "partner in crime",
so to speak.

26
00:02:52,697 --> 00:02:54,303
But, certainly not this one.

27
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:59,598
We are outside of ourselves, because
It is a well-imagined policy

28
00:02:59,632 --> 00:03:01,731
coming from the
four corners of the world.

29
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,698
How did they come to such a thing, huh?

30
00:03:05,437 --> 00:03:10,000
Oh, Langston, we can see the
headlines in half an hour:

31
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,041
"Canadian capitalists,
"Communist filmmaker kidnapped."

32
00:03:14,568 --> 00:03:17,528
"Mysterious disappearance of
black extremist, in Toronto."

33
00:03:17,661 --> 00:03:22,142
Now they must swear that they are not affiliated
to any anti-Bolshevik group.

34
00:03:22,776 --> 00:03:25,385
Well I'm glad you can
laugh at all this mess.

35
00:03:25,605 --> 00:03:27,251
And, of course, you
we will stay here in the

36
00:03:27,263 --> 00:03:29,176
"church" until
we can solve everything.

37
00:03:29,366 --> 00:03:32,630
The place is a little rough but adequate.
You're not allergic to cats, right?

38
00:03:32,783 --> 00:03:37,422
Ah, we should continue introducing
to Mr. Eisenstein.  Yukio?

39
00:03:38,414 --> 00:03:40,923
This is Yukio Mishima from Japan.

40
00:03:41,103 --> 00:03:43,000
Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you.

41
00:03:43,616 --> 00:03:46,196
Were you also invited
to this conference?

42
00:03:46,475 --> 00:03:48,938
Yes, the letter said something
about the book of a

43
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:51,376
young writer and my mother thought
That would be a great honor.

44
00:03:51,513 --> 00:03:54,914
Ah, your mother must be very
disappointed. And you too.

45
00:03:55,107 --> 00:03:57,194
I have had many disappointments in my life.

46
00:03:57,603 --> 00:04:00,442
Yukio and I have been
looking at the train schedules,

47
00:04:00,454 --> 00:04:03,330
but it turns out that everything
It's very complicated.

48
00:04:03,903 --> 00:04:06,000
Looks like we'll be here
at least one more day.

49
00:04:06,655 --> 00:04:08,872
Ah well at least
It will be something you can do

50
00:04:08,884 --> 00:04:11,161
brag to your friends
when you return home.

51
00:04:11,447 --> 00:04:12,866
I have very few friends.

52
00:04:13,119 --> 00:04:17,166
Oh, Mr. Eisenstein, she
It's Frida Kahlo from Mexico.

53
00:04:17,418 --> 00:04:19,138
Ah, but of course.

54
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,463
Frida Kahlo.

55
00:04:26,053 --> 00:04:28,695
I have filmed at Frida's,
and I have already met her,

56
00:04:28,749 --> 00:04:32,162
several years ago in his
beautiful Mexico City

57
00:04:32,635 --> 00:04:36,408
when I was trying
finish "Long live, Mexico!"

58
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,664
Is Diego traveling with you?

59
00:04:41,318 --> 00:04:44,369
Only men seem
wondering where the husbands are.

60
00:04:44,529 --> 00:04:46,756
Langston asked the same question.

61
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,280
No, Frida, that's it
unfair. I simply

62
00:04:49,292 --> 00:04:51,850
I was wondering where it is
Diego now. That's all.

63
00:04:52,204 --> 00:04:55,824
Anyone could tell you.
It's the same as always.

64
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Fucking every gringa
American passing through town.

65
00:05:00,812 --> 00:05:05,197
Miss Loring, you are very stupid.
for my part to forget that since

66
00:05:05,209 --> 00:05:09,389
our last meeting,
Frida has reevaluated her politics.

67
00:05:09,816 --> 00:05:12,609
She is no longer a friend of my country.

68
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,385
On the contrary, Miss Loring, it is
Mr. Eisenstein's country which

69
00:05:17,397 --> 00:05:21,794
has reassessed its policy while
that I have remained coherent.

70
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
You must be very thirsty. Maybe
I brought you some beer.

71
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,640
Frida, how are you spending these days?
close friend, Mr. Trotsky?

72
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,238
Sergei, if you were half as gossipy
than you pretend to be, you would know

73
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:41,624
that Mr. Trotsky and I are
estranged for some months.

74
00:05:41,872 --> 00:05:43,625
Oh, stop, you two.

75
00:05:43,871 --> 00:05:47,105
Sergei, you still don't know
to the Frida model.

76
00:05:47,918 --> 00:05:50,535
It is Mr. Dorian Gray of London.

77
00:05:51,516 --> 00:05:53,742
Frida has been painting
his portrait all afternoon.

78
00:05:54,427 --> 00:05:56,621
And I think it's finished.

79
00:06:07,849 --> 00:06:11,683
We are not supposed to have
earthquakes in this part of the city.

80
00:06:13,685 --> 00:06:15,145
Who can it be?

81
00:06:15,578 --> 00:06:17,990
probably next
victim of this deception.

82
00:06:18,153 --> 00:06:20,681
What do you think, Langston?
Thomas Mann?

83
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,958
I would prefer Gertrude Stein.

84
00:06:24,038 --> 00:06:27,054
There was no one outside. Just
There was a box on the steps.

85
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:29,898
With our luck,
It's probably a bomb.

86
00:06:30,012 --> 00:06:32,366
Don't know. It seems
quite harmless.

87
00:06:33,739 --> 00:06:36,618
June 28, 1987.

88
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,719
Happy Pride Day
Gay and Lesbian everyone!

89
00:06:40,246 --> 00:06:43,156
Our apologies for bringing you
here under false pretenses.

90
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,373
However,
It's an emergency.

91
00:06:45,958 --> 00:06:49,331
We have chosen them as featured
lesbian and gay artists

92
00:06:49,418 --> 00:06:51,000
to help us
to resolve a crisis.

93
00:06:51,371 --> 00:06:55,218
A crisis between
police and the gay community.

94
00:06:55,846 --> 00:06:59,136
In the province of Ontario,
hundreds of men are arrested

95
00:06:59,148 --> 00:07:02,184
every year for having relationships
sexual in public bathrooms.

96
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,132
Your mission, if you decide to accept it,
is to investigate this problem

97
00:07:07,144 --> 00:07:10,813
for the next seven
days and propose solutions.

98
00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:15,016
Of his group, Dorian Gray
will infiltrate the police forces

99
00:07:15,049 --> 00:07:16,758
as an "undercover gay agent."

100
00:07:16,831 --> 00:07:21,503
Oh, by the way, this message
auto will destroy in 10 seconds.

101
00:07:45,577 --> 00:07:50,049
June 28, 1987

102
00:07:50,845 --> 00:07:51,882
Can I bother you?

103
00:07:51,907 --> 00:07:53,334
Clear! Now what?

104
00:07:53,641 --> 00:07:57,724
The old church at Glenrose, the one
empty since the two crazy women died.

105
00:07:57,831 --> 00:07:58,853
What happened there?

106
00:07:59,053 --> 00:08:02,539
A complaint last night from some
neighbors. They saw lights inside.

107
00:08:02,551 --> 00:08:05,794
Our guys investigated and
They found half a dozen hippies there.

108
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:08,020
Don't waste my time
With that, Mr. Jones.

109
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:10,500
But two of them, two women,
They say they own the place.

110
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:11,859
They have the papers
of property.

111
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:16,021
Well, keep an eye on them. Take your camera.
We'll need some photos.

112
00:08:21,379 --> 00:08:23,600
<i>"...The first day was a disaster,</i>
- Come. I'll leave it here.

113
00:08:23,625 --> 00:08:25,764
<i>everyone was arguing... and the
men were very selfish...</i>

114
00:08:25,789 --> 00:08:27,540
<i>I felt very bad... </i>
- It's for you.

115
00:08:27,565 --> 00:08:29,144
<i>because my cats seemed...</i>
- You'll be fine.

116
00:08:29,169 --> 00:08:30,863
<i>...have disappeared,</i>
- You behave very well.

117
00:08:30,888 --> 00:08:33,931
<i>only my chickens remained, which carry
the name of the "Group of Seven..."</i>

118
00:08:33,956 --> 00:08:34,957
Are you here?

119
00:08:34,991 --> 00:08:36,868
<i>From the unpublished memoirs of Florence Wyle.</i>

120
00:08:37,019 --> 00:08:38,428
Lawrence...

121
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,827
Lawren Harris, now come and
Eat some of this.

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,539
And you? Do not disturb
the others. Now come.

123
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,184
Dorian was the only one
He seemed pretty calm.

124
00:08:58,070 --> 00:09:01,175
He left in the morning and went
straight to the police station.

125
00:09:01,616 --> 00:09:03,451
In the end it turned out that
They were waiting.

126
00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:05,685
They had all the
transfer papers.

127
00:09:06,357 --> 00:09:09,217
At least that part of our
mission seemed to be working.

128
00:09:29,744 --> 00:09:34,089
Well, if you're not going to talk, better
Give me a section of the diary.

129
00:09:41,433 --> 00:09:44,617
Take it. In any case, they are
same old wars, famines

130
00:09:44,629 --> 00:09:47,679
and attacks on communists. News
stupid for stupid people.

131
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:53,519
Oh shit, your opinion on the
80s is even worse than mine.

132
00:09:55,993 --> 00:09:57,993
I'm not even following
the conversation.

133
00:09:59,117 --> 00:10:02,226
You're still upset
for the recording, huh?

134
00:10:02,617 --> 00:10:07,000
Featured artists
lesbians and gays! Oh.

135
00:10:07,695 --> 00:10:09,829
I told you, I don't want to talk about it.

136
00:10:11,134 --> 00:10:12,900
You're really upset.

137
00:10:13,407 --> 00:10:15,587
Oh, poor thing.

138
00:10:16,829 --> 00:10:20,000
Has any kitten taken out
your secret of the bag?

139
00:10:20,722 --> 00:10:24,862
The famous single poet
He's a faggot.

140
00:10:26,894 --> 00:10:28,327
Sister, you can laugh.

141
00:10:28,414 --> 00:10:30,819
I don't want to be present
when Diego finds out about you.

142
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,752
Diego? Oh, what a bastard!

143
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
But Diego knows very well
good about my girlfriends.

144
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,683
Just chase my boyfriends
with his best dog.

145
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:47,059
And why did they choose you if you are
such an ambidextrous heterosexual?

146
00:10:47,961 --> 00:10:50,852
You hardly seem to qualify
as an identified lesbian.

147
00:10:51,638 --> 00:10:53,000
Ambidextrous?

148
00:10:53,382 --> 00:11:01,000
Well my left hand always
He knows what my right hand is doing.

149
00:11:01,933 --> 00:11:06,560
And when I'm a lesbian,
I am an excellent lesbian.

150
00:11:09,472 --> 00:11:13,853
<i>"... After lunch, we begin

00:11:20,965 --> 00:11:24,178
<i>that they had left us
in the dining room..."</i>

154
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:29,319
I ran to our local library, which
Fortunately it was still open.

155
00:11:29,379 --> 00:11:32,338
No, it hadn't improved much.
in the 50 years since.

156
00:11:32,925 --> 00:11:38,000
Poor Florence was left cooking
to his beloved A.Y. Jackson for dinner.

157
00:11:41,752 --> 00:11:43,752
This whole gay liberation thing.

158
00:11:44,128 --> 00:11:45,975
Human rights
of homosexuals.

159
00:11:46,545 --> 00:11:49,096
Hand me that cable.

160
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,509
Do you understand, Mr. Eisenstein?

161
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,929
What I mean is that I am
as an expert on the subject,

162
00:11:59,490 --> 00:12:01,171
Homosexuality.

163
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,684
It's not that I've had
so much experience.

164
00:12:05,233 --> 00:12:08,287
I have led a hidden life,
but I have read a lot.

165
00:12:08,847 --> 00:12:12,532
And this doesn't make any sense to me.

166
00:12:13,260 --> 00:12:18,000
Hey, yeah, I've already...
put this box there.

167
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:22,987
Maybe you can explain to me.

168
00:12:23,246 --> 00:12:24,831
You must know a lot.

169
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,025
You were selected for this mission.

170
00:12:27,710 --> 00:12:30,943
And of course I'm sure
that the Soviet Union

171
00:12:30,996 --> 00:12:33,601
it is very advanced
on these issues.

172
00:12:34,709 --> 00:12:38,379
Are you... are you trying
to be intimate with me?

173
00:12:38,933 --> 00:12:40,019
Not at all.

174
00:12:40,319 --> 00:12:44,253
I am very interested in
sex under socialism.

175
00:12:44,993 --> 00:12:52,527
That topic is... My private life
It is exactly that, "private."

176
00:12:53,376 --> 00:12:56,135
As for my country, well,
relaxed, unofficially,

177
00:12:56,203 --> 00:12:59,541
for a few years
opening and debate,

178
00:12:59,734 --> 00:13:03,547
after the revolution, but
That's over a long time ago.

179
00:13:05,022 --> 00:13:08,539
I will do the best I can with my
research for this project,

180
00:13:08,551 --> 00:13:12,222
but not really
I am qualified.

181
00:13:13,059 --> 00:13:17,655
Maybe we could investigate
a little the facts together.

187
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
<i>He did works for the government, such as

189
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,281
<i>Friend of many artists,
including the Group of Seven.</i>

190
00:13:49,306 --> 00:13:52,460
<i>He founded artists' organizations, such as
the Society of Sculptors of Canada,</i>

191
00:13:52,485 --> 00:13:55,000
<i>the Federation of Canadian Artists,
the National Arts Council.</i>

192
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,574

<i>Lesbian. Bohemia. Conversational.</i>

195
00:14:04,192 --> 00:14:06,351
It's all I could
get so far.

196
00:14:06,826 --> 00:14:09,379
It's a start, but
We need more photographs.

197
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,241
We all enjoy
a passionate discussion

198
00:14:17,253 --> 00:14:19,554
about the Civil War
Spanish during dinner,

199
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,481
although Florence had
completely lost appetite.

200
00:14:22,821 --> 00:14:24,948
Frida was very involved
in solidarity work,

201
00:14:25,015 --> 00:14:28,000
and Langston had to leave
to Spain the following month.

202
00:14:28,682 --> 00:14:32,525
Later, while we take a
whiskey that we found unharmed in the basement,

203
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:34,577
I launched into my presentation.

204
00:14:39,637 --> 00:14:43,897
A SELECTIVE SOCIAL HISTORY
FROM THE PUBLIC BATHROOM
by Frances Loring.

205
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,302
Well my dears, here goes

206
00:14:46,412 --> 00:14:50,737
my modest social history of the place
"who dares not pronounce his name",

207
00:14:51,010 --> 00:14:53,000
to misquote Dorian's friend,

208
00:14:53,507 --> 00:14:56,221
or rather the place from which
We speak with too many names,

209
00:14:56,594 --> 00:14:59,160
the urinal, the pelela,
the cup, the sink,

210
00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:02,054
the toilet,
the toilet, the latrine,

211
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,886
the urinal, the toilet, the peeing bowl,

212
00:15:06,034 --> 00:15:08,399
the bucket, the can, the potty,

213
00:15:08,552 --> 00:15:11,424
the kettle, the toilet, the toilet,

214
00:15:11,757 --> 00:15:14,571
In short, the much maligned toilet.

215
00:15:15,232 --> 00:15:17,965
"Curiosities from the History of the Bath:
from Vespasian to Victoria"

216
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,577
History tells us that they were built
the first public facilities

217
00:15:21,644 --> 00:15:24,737
in the Palace of Canossas 4,000 years ago,

218
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:27,493
with squat toilets
with drain discharge

219
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:30,872
that bear a striking resemblance
with our current systems.

220
00:15:31,292 --> 00:15:33,805
Most of the large
cities of the ancient world

221
00:15:33,945 --> 00:15:36,264
developed facilities
similar hygiene standards.

222
00:15:36,766 --> 00:15:38,766
In the first century AD,

223
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,348
Roman Emperor Vespasian
introduced the first public urinals.

224
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,455
His motives were not altruistic.

225
00:15:46,993 --> 00:15:48,993
I collected urine
in large systems

226
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,133
and sold it to the dyers,

227
00:15:51,547 --> 00:15:54,259
getting a good
profit in the process.

228
00:15:55,403 --> 00:15:57,915
The approaches for
evacuation varied greatly

229
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,749
through centuries and classes.

230
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Medieval monasteries often
They had a row of holes

231
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
in the upper towers,

232
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,496
where the holy brothers could
spend some company time together.

233
00:16:07,894 --> 00:16:10,069
In fact, some claim
that the biblical manuscripts

234
00:16:10,142 --> 00:16:12,000
what they took with them to study

235
00:16:12,144 --> 00:16:15,831
served as the first form
surreptitious toilet paper.

236
00:16:17,314 --> 00:16:20,000
Castle Residents
Europeans simply threw

237
00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:22,788
the contents of their urinals
through the nearest window,

238
00:16:22,907 --> 00:16:26,307
swimming across the moat,
a heartbreaking possibility.

239
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,168
At 10 o'clock in
the streets of Edinburgh,

240
00:16:29,262 --> 00:16:32,081
a roll of drums accompanied
a release of similar debris

241
00:16:32,106 --> 00:16:33,944
from the upper windows.

242
00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:36,831
To the approved cry of "Gardyloo",

243
00:16:36,945 --> 00:16:38,803
from the French "Garde a l'eau",

244
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,943
served to warn the unsuspecting
who were passing by, to seek refuge.

245
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,470
Convince people to
Using the bathrooms was a difficult task.

246
00:16:47,739 --> 00:16:50,863
With the help of dresses up
ankles and without underwear,

247
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,571
women were used to doing
your needs almost anywhere.

248
00:16:54,886 --> 00:16:57,067
A typical strategy was
just pause

249
00:16:57,167 --> 00:17:00,394
or walk to a comfortable sewer
and look dreamily up at the sky.

250
00:17:00,752 --> 00:17:03,598
Desperate, an exclusive
london men's club

251
00:17:03,653 --> 00:17:07,081
In the 19th century, once
He put up a sign that said:

252
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:09,554
"During the season
of asparagus,

253
00:17:09,687 --> 00:17:13,802
Members are requested not to do
their needs on the platform"

254
00:17:15,394 --> 00:17:18,318
The combination was necessary
of the obsessions of the 19th century,

255
00:17:18,378 --> 00:17:21,498
with public transportation and
victorian prudery

256
00:17:21,704 --> 00:17:24,894
to build thousands
of public bathrooms

"Various Grooming Strategies
through the ages"

259

The predecessor members
of toilet paper,

260
00:17:32,923 --> 00:17:34,623
invented in 1880,

261
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,137
includes round scraper with
miniature hockey stick shape,

262
00:17:38,437 --> 00:17:42,221
mussel shells, cobs
corn, sand, brick powder,

263
00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:45,070
the earth, the catalog of
Sears Stores,

264
00:17:45,237 --> 00:17:48,657
and the left hand, leaving
the right hand to eat.

265
00:17:49,189 --> 00:17:51,354
Rabonet stated that
the best cleaning

266
00:17:51,366 --> 00:17:53,447
was obtained with the neck
of a white swan.

"Taboos Associated with
"Body Waste"

268
00:17:56,460 --> 00:18:00,355
Peeing and shitting were once
natural and neutral body functions.

269
00:18:00,594 --> 00:18:01,899
It's not like that anymore.

270
00:18:02,288 --> 00:18:04,305
In contemporary Western society,

271
00:18:04,378 --> 00:18:08,141
a whole culture of shame,
disgust and fetishization

272
00:18:08,455 --> 00:18:10,000
surround these acts.

273
00:18:10,415 --> 00:18:13,167
Freud, of course,

the mythical concepts

shit as a phallus,
shit like death.

"Evacuation and
"Modern Art"

277
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000
The bathing culture has
appeared in works of artists

278
00:18:24,136 --> 00:18:27,136
such as Marcel Duchamp, Klaus Oldenburg,

279
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:30,000
and Karl Beveridge and Carol Condé.

"Design Issues in
Public Facilities"

281
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,562
Urinals often
promote splashes,

282
00:18:35,973 --> 00:18:38,748
making men
dirty their clothes and the floor.

283
00:18:39,407 --> 00:18:42,234
For women who urinate
using the typical toilet,

284
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,010
the situation is worse.

285
00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:46,707
because of a fear
exaggerated to diseases,

286
00:18:46,746 --> 00:18:49,746
many women do not sit
completely on the toilet seat,

287
00:18:49,813 --> 00:18:53,114
rather they "float" erratically
on him in a squatting position.

288
00:18:53,682 --> 00:18:56,416
This often leaves traces of
urine on the toilet seat,

289
00:18:56,489 --> 00:18:59,286
which of course forces the
next occupant to do the same,

290
00:18:59,506 --> 00:19:01,663
adding even more to the mess.

291
00:19:02,236 --> 00:19:05,904
To defecate, the typical toilet
favors constipation more

292
00:19:05,953 --> 00:19:07,424
than bad diets.

293
00:19:07,886 --> 00:19:10,487
The natural position
to shit is squatting,

294
00:19:10,668 --> 00:19:13,668
like the Japanese with their
elegant 19th century trenches

295
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:15,313
They are well known.

296
00:19:15,566 --> 00:19:18,758
When the thighs press together
against the abdominal muscles,

297
00:19:19,085 --> 00:19:22,348
this increases enormously
emptying of the rectum.

In Egypt, Herodotus stated:

300
00:19:28,358 --> 00:19:31,648
"women stand tall
to make water and the men bend down.

301
00:19:31,827 --> 00:19:34,600
Among the Irish, where
women also enjoyed

302
00:19:34,643 --> 00:19:36,556
of a social status
relatively high,

303
00:19:36,892 --> 00:19:40,335
It is reported that men
they discharged their urine sitting

304
00:19:40,416 --> 00:19:41,905
and the women standing.

305
00:19:42,331 --> 00:19:45,851
Among the Muslim peoples it was considered
shameful that someone would stop

306
00:19:45,876 --> 00:19:48,257
and, I quote, "...to urinate
like a doll..."

307
00:19:49,416 --> 00:19:51,556
"The Segregated Bathroom
By Sex"

308
00:19:51,853 --> 00:19:55,853
Unisex bathrooms were common
in the factories of the 19th century.

309
00:19:56,464 --> 00:19:59,584
The commissions that investigated
working conditions

310
00:19:59,617 --> 00:20:02,237
They noticed that sometimes there were
perforated glory holes

311
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:03,951
between the cubicles
of the bathrooms,

312
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
presumably for
voyeurs and sexual games.

313
00:20:07,701 --> 00:20:10,252
Instead of addressing the problems
widespread economic

314
00:20:10,281 --> 00:20:13,544
and physical and sexual abuse of
that women were subjected

315
00:20:13,570 --> 00:20:16,283
at the hands of their employers and
male coworkers,

316
00:20:16,516 --> 00:20:19,134
the commissions focused
in what they called

317
00:20:19,174 --> 00:20:21,480
"own immorality"
of women".

318
00:20:21,793 --> 00:20:24,570
In other words, the "glories
holes" were their fault.

319
00:20:25,072 --> 00:20:27,445
The State intervened and legislated,

320
00:20:27,545 --> 00:20:30,604
"Sanitary facilities
separate for men and women.

321
00:20:33,946 --> 00:20:37,160
Although the reasons were wrong,
The result was beneficial.

322
00:20:37,258 --> 00:20:39,975
The bathroom became the
only place in society

323
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,563
where men were not allowed.
A refuge from the patriarchal order.

324
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,075
The women's bathroom had been
turned into a vital social place

325
00:20:47,188 --> 00:20:50,000
to talk, share
and even organize.

326
00:20:50,502 --> 00:20:52,822
Management often considered
to this a threat.

327
00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:56,100
For example, in 1980,
the Puretex factory

328
00:20:56,220 --> 00:20:58,000
installed a camera
video surveillance

329
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,874
over the door of the
women's bathroom,

330
00:20:59,975 --> 00:21:02,537
monitoring the duration of
the breaks of the workers.

331
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,184
Women went on strike
demanding the removal of the camera

332
00:21:06,344 --> 00:21:09,866
and his eventual gaze, preserving
your right to privacy.

333
00:21:13,325 --> 00:21:16,310
The segregated bathroom
He also created the conditions

334
00:21:16,424 --> 00:21:19,710
so that homosexual sex
arises in the bathrooms.

335
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,213
Yukio will continue tomorrow with
his research on this topic.

336
00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:29,758
"...After the conference
from Frances, we all went

337
00:21:29,770 --> 00:21:32,335
to the bathroom downstairs to
hang the portrait of Dorian..."

338
00:21:38,392 --> 00:21:41,236
It's an incredible portrait, Frida,
and the best you've ever done.

339
00:21:41,486 --> 00:21:43,763
It just seemed
paint yourself

340
00:21:44,576 --> 00:21:46,952
The garden light
or something like that.

341
00:21:47,912 --> 00:21:51,369
Capture something beautifully
pure and fine in it.

342
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,577
Something completely uncorrupted.

343
00:21:55,116 --> 00:21:56,156
Poor Dorian.

344
00:21:56,503 --> 00:21:58,825
The paint will remain
young and beautiful forever

345
00:21:59,291 --> 00:22:01,310
as he ages and corrupts.

346
00:22:02,164 --> 00:22:05,908
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If he was always like this?

347
00:22:06,464 --> 00:22:08,803
like a picture
without worries.

348
00:22:12,753 --> 00:22:19,079
DAY TWO

349
00:22:27,893 --> 00:22:30,124
Yukio worries me.

350
00:22:31,493 --> 00:22:35,493
It's quite peculiar
for a boy his age.

351
00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:41,000
And Sergei and Frida.

352
00:22:41,788 --> 00:22:44,000
That horrible argument
what they had last night

353
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,886
on the Fourth International.

354
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,419
You know, I thought that
They would kill each other.

355
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
It seemed to me that
They were having fun.

356
00:22:53,541 --> 00:22:57,000
Actually a group of
crazy put all together.

357
00:22:58,847 --> 00:23:01,000
Don't worry so much.

358
00:23:02,010 --> 00:23:04,000
We're together, that's what counts.

359
00:23:04,852 --> 00:23:07,000
I'll just have a little fun.

360
00:23:07,444 --> 00:23:08,717
Enjoy?

361
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:11,519
I can't imagine how.

362
00:23:14,731 --> 00:23:18,000
You have no imagination.

363
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,771
My queen.

364
00:23:30,692 --> 00:23:32,065
The Wyle Woman,

365
00:23:32,144 --> 00:23:34,165
did a search for
topics under the title

366
00:23:34,371 --> 00:23:35,546
"URINAL."

367
00:23:36,032 --> 00:23:37,173
Code name?

368
00:23:37,451 --> 00:23:38,826
No, it's an acronym.

369
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,893
The guys from the 14th floor investigated it.

370
00:23:41,146 --> 00:23:44,000
It means "Organization of
International Nuclear Resistance

371
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,375
to Libertarian Action, O.R.I.N.A.L.

372
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,541
O.R.I.N.A.L, huh?

373
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,226
I think it's time to put
microphones in the church.

374
00:23:51,485 --> 00:23:54,000
Let's first get some
more information about others.

375
00:24:23,848 --> 00:24:25,855

378

A DRAMATIC READING
OF BATHROOM TEXTS
by Yukio Mishima

389
00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:15,974
Sex in the bathrooms.

390
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,415
As old as the
own public bathroom.

391
00:25:18,719 --> 00:25:20,952
Related to sex in
parks, sex in speech,

392
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
sex in songs, sex in elevators,
sex in alleys, sex in trains,

393
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,320
sex in churches,
sex in the gym,

394
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,207
Where did you register
these stories?

395
00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:32,759
Certainly, there is no
Authoritative volume on the subject.

396
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Rather, what we remember
It is made up of fragments.

397
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,776
fleeting images of
film "Taxi zum Klo"

398
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,629
and in "Prick up your Ears."

399
00:25:40,886 --> 00:25:43,701
Attractive tabloid headlines
about post-war crimes.

400
00:25:44,301 --> 00:25:46,648
Short scenes in novels,
plays and poems.

401
00:25:46,944 --> 00:25:49,614
For example, Jenae Anon
wrote beautifully,

402
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,465
although briefly,
on the topic.

403
00:25:52,278 --> 00:25:54,698
Sociological studies of
deviant behavior.

404
00:25:55,264 --> 00:25:58,611
Perhaps the most precise and
pornography is extensive.

405
00:25:59,397 --> 00:26:01,468
I will start with a
section of my own novel,

406
00:26:01,695 --> 00:26:04,000
what am I going to write
within 15 years.

407
00:26:04,165 --> 00:26:07,531
"Of <i>Forbidden Colors"</i>
a novel by Yukio Mishima"

408
00:26:08,205 --> 00:26:11,198
He entered under the dim light and
damp from the bathroom lamp.

409
00:26:11,631 --> 00:26:14,080
And I saw what in the community
It is called a "procedure".

410
00:26:14,906 --> 00:26:17,409
It was a "procedure" in
where the tacit procedure

411
00:26:17,682 --> 00:26:19,776
it was based on winks
instead of documents.

412
00:26:20,182 --> 00:26:22,330
small gestures in
place of letters.

413
00:26:22,887 --> 00:26:25,580
Communication by codes
instead of a phone.

414
00:26:26,446 --> 00:26:29,306
They are all my comrades,
Yuichi thought as he walked.

415
00:26:29,993 --> 00:26:33,751
Regardless of ranks,
occupations, ages or beauty,

416
00:26:34,006 --> 00:26:36,776
They are a fellowship
forged by the same emotion,

417
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,125
for "the private parts",
let's say.

418
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,685
What a union! In hate,
in jealousy, in contempt,

419
00:26:45,285 --> 00:26:49,000
coming together for a brief moment of
love, just to keep us alive.

420

From "Teapot Exchange", a study
sociology of Laud Humphreys

421
00:26:54,059 --> 00:26:57,985
"Y" enters the second cubicle and begins
to masturbate with his back to me.

422
00:26:58,069 --> 00:26:59,719
I go to the door and look out.

423
00:26:59,753 --> 00:27:03,053
"X" moves quickly and "Y"
rotates to facilitate "X's" masturbation.

424
00:27:03,128 --> 00:27:05,314
"C" remains in the urinal
less than a minute,

425
00:27:05,348 --> 00:27:07,298
and another minute passes
observing the cubicles.

426
00:27:07,413 --> 00:27:10,011
Then enter the cubicle with "X",
and gives him fellatio.

427
00:27:10,036 --> 00:27:13,753
"Y" stands on the toilet seat and
looks at "X" and "C" while "A" sucks him off.

428
00:27:13,808 --> 00:27:15,695
"A" is about to end but
keep masturbating him.

429
00:27:15,854 --> 00:27:17,822
"X" wants the buttocks of
"C" and slides his hands

430
00:27:17,847 --> 00:27:19,429
behind the
"C" legs.

431
00:27:19,454 --> 00:27:21,079
When "C" ends,
It leaves without being cleaned.

432
00:27:21,261 --> 00:27:22,927
"A" ends together with "Y"
at that time.

433
00:27:23,107 --> 00:27:24,852
Goes to the urinal three
and spits.

434
00:27:25,139 --> 00:27:26,771
"And" cleans up and leaves.

435

"From <i>Semanario Judicial</i>, a tabloid
crime scene in Toronto in the 1950s."

436
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,453
As a result of intense
raid carried out by the police,

437
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:38,160
more than 15 homosexual prostitutes
and her male clients,

438
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,971
have been recently arrested
in Toronto's High Park.

439
00:27:41,174 --> 00:27:43,912
Decency prevents even
adults to talk about this,

440
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,532
like this weekly newspaper
go into details, huh?

441
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,788
The issue is that the police
found a hole in the wall

442
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,920
between two cubicles in
the men's bathroom.

443
00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:55,413
Thus, through it, the
active and passive homosexuals

444
00:27:55,527 --> 00:27:58,694
they are gratified before their
disgusting sexual public.

"From CUM - Right to Hell.
Anthology edited by Boyd McDonald"

446
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,791
Last week I went to a public bathroom
nearby and I found five cars

447
00:28:09,245 --> 00:28:12,731
three stupid and one
couple of swallows of urine,

448
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,365
plus semen
all the cocks

449
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,248
I entered the place and there was
two guys in the urinal,

450
00:28:19,528 --> 00:28:24,000
Both with a beautiful
erection, but both circumcised.

451
00:28:24,654 --> 00:28:28,000
They both wanted to be sucked,
but don't suck the other one,

452
00:28:28,189 --> 00:28:30,881
so everything i did
was to sit on my knees,

453
00:28:31,128 --> 00:28:35,648
open your mouth and eat me
one and then the other.

454
00:28:36,534 --> 00:28:40,013
They both finished in a hurry and
They left immediately afterwards.

455
00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:42,667
Only one ticket of each.

00:28:45,874 --> 00:28:49,227
Homosexuality is a constant problem
for the police in large centers.

458
00:28:49,276 --> 00:28:52,929
And if the police adopt an attitude
of laissez-faire towards those people,

459
00:28:53,223 --> 00:28:56,118
the City Parks, destined
to relax women and children

460
00:28:56,172 --> 00:28:58,069
and for youth recreation purposes,

461
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:00,685
will become a point of
meeting for homosexuals.

462
00:29:00,792 --> 00:29:02,878
In addition to his immoral conduct,

463
00:29:03,078 --> 00:29:05,670
the homosexual requires
increased police attention,

464
00:29:05,846 --> 00:29:09,440
since he is often the victim of beatings
of gangs or robberies with violence,

465
00:29:09,746 --> 00:29:12,800
and is easy prey for
extortion and blackmail.

466
00:29:12,933 --> 00:29:15,013
There were homosexuals who
They were stabbed and wounded,

467
00:29:15,038 --> 00:29:16,822
and in some cases
They were killed.

468
00:29:17,036 --> 00:29:19,062
The most characteristic
sad of all, however,

469
00:29:19,095 --> 00:29:21,470
is that homosexuals who
They hang around in public bathrooms,

470
00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:24,023
They corrupt others and recruit
constantly to young people,

471
00:29:24,183 --> 00:29:27,175
of good previous behavior,
towards his "fraternity".

472
00:29:28,995 --> 00:29:32,482
"From a poem by Rodolfo Rivas
<i>Somos Magazine</i>, Argentina, 1974
Translated by Tim McCaskell"

473
00:29:35,027 --> 00:29:36,555
For many of us,

474
00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:39,624
the only place we can go to
having sexual company are the bathrooms.

475
00:29:40,344 --> 00:29:44,326
We sneak in,
like mangy dogs.

476
00:29:45,358 --> 00:29:46,586
Because?

477
00:29:47,353 --> 00:29:49,666
Our culture covers the smell.

478
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,363
The walls exclaim "love" and "freedom."

479
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,782
We throw away the dirty paper.

480
00:29:55,455 --> 00:29:57,606
Long live the bathrooms.

481
00:29:58,853 --> 00:30:02,000
If the first Christians
They gathered between skeletons and corpses,

482
00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:06,901
why be ashamed if we meet
between urine and fermented shit?

483
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:11,613
We will conquer a space
full of light and windows,

484
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,221
sequin ceilings,
 glass floors.

485
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,533
We don't need
no Constantine.

486
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,934
Long live the smelly bathrooms!

487
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:27,000
Some already deserve a bronze plaque.

488
00:30:29,395 --> 00:30:33,915
THE BATHROOM DOWNLOAD

489
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,313
<i>"...I loved my friend...</i>

490
00:30:37,655 --> 00:30:39,655
<i>...He walked away from me...</i>

491
00:30:40,093 --> 00:30:42,134
<i>...There is nothing more to say...</i>

492
00:30:42,634 --> 00:30:46,355
<i>...The poem ends,
smooth as it started,...</i>

493
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:48,269
<i>...I loved my friend..."</i>

494
00:30:48,522 --> 00:30:49,920
That's my poem.

495
00:30:51,431 --> 00:30:53,752
Maybe your friend has
a dream deferred.

496
00:30:54,645 --> 00:30:56,673
"...What happens to a dream deferred?..."

497
00:30:56,847 --> 00:30:58,847
And that is also my poem.

498
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:00,975
You haven't answered my question.

499
00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:04,000
My friend was not dreaming.
He was a sailor.

500
00:31:05,276 --> 00:31:08,006
And you seem like a
romantic fool.

501
00:31:09,540 --> 00:31:12,513
Oh!  It only seemed to me
a little strange.

502
00:31:14,060 --> 00:31:16,000
And... the paintings.

503
00:31:17,334 --> 00:31:19,000
It's almost like he's watching us.

504
00:31:19,459 --> 00:31:20,733
Isn't it?

505
00:31:29,425 --> 00:31:30,471
Hey.

506
00:31:30,843 --> 00:31:33,044
It's very nice but this is my bedroom.

507
00:31:33,498 --> 00:31:36,038
I thought maybe you would need
a little Christian company.

508
00:31:37,603 --> 00:31:39,401
I'm too sacrilegious.

509
00:31:39,713 --> 00:31:43,371
And anyway, the fantasies of
San Sebastian aren't really my thing.

510
00:31:43,977 --> 00:31:46,850
I was hoping we could
be sacrilegious together.

511
00:31:47,805 --> 00:31:49,238
Thanks but no thanks.

512
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:51,475
Look.

513
00:31:51,776 --> 00:31:53,828
We are in 1987.

514
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,211
Your friends are dead.

515
00:31:57,005 --> 00:31:58,246
You are alone.

516
00:31:58,564 --> 00:32:00,414
You need some company.

517
00:32:00,634 --> 00:32:02,608
Yukio, that's not a
very convincing argument.

518
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:06,288
Oh.

519
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:10,687
Well, that, on the contrary, is a
somewhat more convincing argument.

520
00:32:12,221 --> 00:32:14,755
Hey, what are you doing?

521
00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:19,015
Well, that's even more compelling.

522
00:32:27,223 --> 00:32:31,755
DAY THREE

523
00:32:40,554 --> 00:32:43,495
<i>Sergei Eisenstein. Born in
1898 in Riga. He died in 1948.</i>

524
00:32:43,528 --> 00:32:45,918
<i>He spent his early years making
theater and cartoons.</i>

525
00:32:45,991 --> 00:32:47,919
<i>On the eve of the revolution
Bolshevik, published

526
00:32:47,944 --> 00:32:49,917
<i>a caricature signed with
the pseudonym "Sir Gay".</i>

527
00:32:49,942 --> 00:32:51,964
<i>He continued his career in
cinema under the new regime.</i>

528
00:32:51,997 --> 00:32:54,843
<i>He directed "La Huelga" and
"Battleship Potemkin" in 1924-5,</i>

529
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:57,364
<i>what made him famous
of a brilliant filmmaker.</i>

530
00:32:57,450 --> 00:32:59,655
<i>He traveled extensively around
Europe and North America.</i>

531
00:32:59,689 --> 00:33:02,069
<i>He divided his time into
writing, making films and teaching.</i>

532
00:33:02,095 --> 00:33:05,213
<i>He encountered constant difficulties with
the censors and the Soviet bureaucracy.</i>

533
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:07,854
<i>He remained prolific and controversial
throughout his career.</i>

534
00:33:07,932 --> 00:33:11,419
<i>He speaks four languages fluently. wife,
no children Suspected of being homosexual.</i>

535
00:33:18,172 --> 00:33:20,002
Did you know the others
previously?

536
00:33:20,052 --> 00:33:22,052
Frida Khalo and Hughes
early 30's.

537
00:33:22,852 --> 00:33:24,852
I think this image
is taking shape.

538
00:33:26,282 --> 00:33:31,081
A GUIDED TOUR TO THE
TORONTO'S BEST "TEAPOTS"
by Sergei Eisenstein

539
00:33:31,132 --> 00:33:33,863
Here I am in the
Royal York Hotel,

540
00:33:33,888 --> 00:33:37,048
home of the largest hockey team
famous and dangerous Toronto.

541
00:33:37,339 --> 00:33:39,339
I take note of the design.

542
00:33:39,377 --> 00:33:41,741
This entrance hall
with mirrors and sinks

543
00:33:42,010 --> 00:33:44,160
is separate from the urinals

544
00:33:44,185 --> 00:33:46,399
and cubicles down a narrow hallway.

545
00:33:46,779 --> 00:33:49,704
And look at the dark light,
baroque color combination

546
00:33:49,716 --> 00:33:52,500
perfect for a
discreet meeting.

547
00:33:52,916 --> 00:33:54,756
Unfortunately, at
over the years,

548
00:33:54,851 --> 00:33:56,243
this has also been,

549
00:33:56,336 --> 00:33:58,535
favorite place
the undercover cops,

550
00:33:58,808 --> 00:34:01,500
that make dozens of
arrests here every month.

551
00:34:03,907 --> 00:34:06,157
I like the hotel
Colonnade, because there

552
00:34:06,450 --> 00:34:08,177
there tends to be more variety

553
00:34:08,551 --> 00:34:10,661
in the types of
men who go there.

554
00:34:10,894 --> 00:34:14,400
And I have been to several
types of orgies there,

555
00:34:14,461 --> 00:34:16,941
in groups of three and six.

556
00:34:17,668 --> 00:34:22,653
It is a fairly small bathroom and
There is a feeling of intimacy.

557
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:26,949
So when there are six
men there... I don't know, there are

558
00:34:27,263 --> 00:34:30,500
a really sensation
nice in a small space

559
00:34:30,884 --> 00:34:37,244
and there is a feeling of
privacy because it's just your bathroom.

560
00:34:37,455 --> 00:34:43,778
Very often there is a boy standing in the
door while other people have sex.

561
00:34:44,233 --> 00:34:49,394
And coughs or makes some noise
when someone enters.

562
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:54,566
So there is a kind of
feeling of community in that bathroom.

563
00:34:56,096 --> 00:34:59,690
The conduct in which I was involved
when the arrest occurred

564
00:34:59,702 --> 00:35:03,548
took place between two
of the cubicles

565
00:35:04,475 --> 00:35:08,036
in the bathroom, in the bay,
in Oakville,

566
00:35:08,048 --> 00:35:11,475
because there is a paper dispenser
toilet that is broken

567
00:35:11,656 --> 00:35:15,136
and you can pass something back and forth,
for example, between the two.

568
00:35:15,353 --> 00:35:19,130
There was already another person in
the cubicle when I arrived

569
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:25,428
and there was a long exchange
sexual between the two of us.

570
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:31,500
It included cock sucking and some
another touching of body parts,

571
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,352
both through the opening and
below the cubicle wall.

572
00:35:36,366 --> 00:35:38,366
And that continued for quite some time.

573
00:35:38,413 --> 00:35:40,683
Very few people entered the
bathroom during that time.

574
00:35:40,723 --> 00:35:44,459
We always stop, of course,
during those moments.

575
00:35:44,539 --> 00:35:47,926
But we were alone in the bathroom
for several minutes, certainly.

576
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:55,219
And the other person came out
out of the bathroom before me.

577
00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:57,169
I was alone in the
bathroom at that time.

578
00:35:57,213 --> 00:36:00,213
I left the cubicle and while I
I washed my hands in the sink,

579
00:36:00,385 --> 00:36:05,323
The officer entered the bathroom and
That moment they arrested me.

580
00:36:06,718 --> 00:36:09,860
Well I'm here and yeah
There's a boy over there...

581
00:36:10,233 --> 00:36:13,093
and I'm at the urinal,
I want to get your attention.

582
00:36:13,386 --> 00:36:15,731
I make eye contact with him first.

583
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:19,495
And then usually
it's easy for me

584
00:36:19,507 --> 00:36:23,065
have an erection, so
It immediately makes me hard.

585
00:36:23,219 --> 00:36:24,724
So usually...

586
00:36:24,953 --> 00:36:29,953
Well, I play with myself
cock and if he looks at my cock,

587
00:36:30,086 --> 00:36:33,913
so I'm pretty
I'm sure he likes cruising.

588
00:36:34,147 --> 00:36:37,147
Then I show you the
erection so he can...

589
00:36:37,365 --> 00:36:38,939
so know for sure.

590
00:36:39,145 --> 00:36:42,592
And then usually
is approaching.

591
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:47,039
"The cubicle."
Number one:

592
00:36:47,460 --> 00:36:50,459
Choose one next to
a busy one.

593
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,656
Number two: After two
minutes, flush the toilet.

594
00:36:54,972 --> 00:36:57,699
But don't go. Maybe
the other do the same.

595
00:36:58,184 --> 00:37:02,426
Number three: Hit your
foot. Maybe it will hit yours.

596
00:37:03,013 --> 00:37:05,741
Number four: Exchange
notes from one side to another,

597
00:37:05,753 --> 00:37:08,767
talking about what
type of sex they like.

598
00:37:09,654 --> 00:37:14,721
Number five: Assuming the bathroom
is empty, you now have several options.

599
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:19,940
A: both can stand on
toilets and watching each other masturbate.

600
00:37:20,126 --> 00:37:24,126
B: you can suck it between
yes below the divisor.

601
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:27,692
C: they can get together
in a single cubicle,

602
00:37:27,775 --> 00:37:31,381
or D: they can have sex with
cubicle doors open,

603
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:35,380
ready to retire yes
someone enters the bathroom.

604
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:42,111
All types of men
They go to the bathrooms.

605
00:37:42,372 --> 00:37:43,971
Students...

606
00:37:44,345 --> 00:37:49,411
workers, professionals, men
older, young men.

607
00:37:50,085 --> 00:37:55,637
Men of all races, men
fat men, handsome men, ugly men.

608
00:37:58,530 --> 00:38:02,416
People who like everything
type of practices.

609
00:38:03,326 --> 00:38:06,090
People to whom
They like SandM.

610
00:38:08,002 --> 00:38:14,128
I pleaded guilty to
charge of gross indecency.

611
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,946
I guess mainly
for two reasons.

612
00:38:17,475 --> 00:38:22,567
One, because he was aware that
There was video evidence of what happened.

613
00:38:22,994 --> 00:38:28,502
And secondly, to...

614
00:38:28,689 --> 00:38:31,689
let the matter be resolved
as quickly as possible.

615
00:38:31,801 --> 00:38:36,015
And avoid the possibility
of it being published.

616
00:38:37,858 --> 00:38:40,920
The Hart House bathroom in
the University of Toronto

617
00:38:40,945 --> 00:38:42,673
has become
quickly in my favorite.

618
00:38:43,186 --> 00:38:46,533
Although I have heard that the police
campus patrols it regularly,

619
00:38:46,855 --> 00:38:51,148
I notice a glory hole beautifully
carved into the stone divider.

620
00:38:51,603 --> 00:38:54,078
I'm afraid it's not
big enough for a cock,

621
00:38:54,103 --> 00:38:56,983
but it is certainly appropriate
for bidirectional observation.

622
00:38:59,772 --> 00:39:03,992
Very often, like sex
in a bathroom it's so anonymous,

623
00:39:04,257 --> 00:39:07,924
especially if I'm in a
cubicle, no one knows I'm Chinese.

624
00:39:11,204 --> 00:39:16,156
And I think it's easier for me to have sex
in a bathroom if they don't know I'm Chinese.

625
00:39:17,456 --> 00:39:22,544
Although at the same time I have noticed
that even when others see my face,

626
00:39:23,504 --> 00:39:29,370
because for some reason,
well, because they go there,

627
00:39:30,303 --> 00:39:35,475
If they are going to do cruising, it is
for sex, not for a relationship,

628
00:39:36,181 --> 00:39:41,268
not even for a company, so
The male anatomy is more interesting.

629
00:39:41,724 --> 00:39:47,661
And really often not
They care if my dick is Chinese.

630
00:39:48,034 --> 00:39:50,700
Or if it is big or small.

631
00:39:50,728 --> 00:39:54,355
They just want a cock to suck
or one to masturbate with.

632
00:39:55,949 --> 00:39:58,187
three or four days
after conviction,

633
00:39:58,212 --> 00:40:00,513
the Hamilton Spectator newspaper in
the Burlington edition,

634
00:40:00,796 --> 00:40:05,043
published my name and my place of
I work at the SILAP Youth Center

635
00:40:05,183 --> 00:40:07,703
and the fact that I was
director of a program there.

636
00:40:08,396 --> 00:40:11,675
That resulted in me being suspended.
for a short period of time

637
00:40:11,889 --> 00:40:17,500
and then they transferred me to a task
administrative, much less visible,

638
00:40:18,589 --> 00:40:21,158
and I wasn't too interested.

639
00:40:21,446 --> 00:40:24,279
I regretted the suspension
and the transfer

640
00:40:24,291 --> 00:40:27,446
and the result of that later
of a considerable time

641
00:40:27,506 --> 00:40:32,711
since I didn't have and never
I have had no interest

642
00:40:33,031 --> 00:40:37,294
to work in an office
center away from direct service.

643
00:40:39,033 --> 00:40:44,500
In fact, I had to leave the Ministry
of Community and Social Services.

644
00:40:46,267 --> 00:40:49,267
Attacks on homosexuals
They are not a danger at all.

645
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,660
This makes the "teapots"
much safer than parks,

646
00:40:52,863 --> 00:40:58,500
where in recent years they hit and
They murdered several gay men.

647
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:07,205
In my extensive research, I classified
the types of sex according to their frequency.

648
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:12,500
Number one, most common, two
men looking at each other and masturbating.

649
00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:16,770
Number two, next most
common, mutual masturbation.

650
00:41:16,991 --> 00:41:21,816
Number three, blowjobs
occasional, often without swallowing.

651
00:41:22,408 --> 00:41:24,123
I never saw a fuck,

652
00:41:24,209 --> 00:41:27,043
which is not surprising,
given how complicated it is.

653
00:41:28,137 --> 00:41:30,408
In summary, the majority
of sexual acts

654
00:41:30,614 --> 00:41:33,366
seem to fit the
safer sex guidelines,

655
00:41:33,893 --> 00:41:36,701
developed from
the AIDS crisis.

656
00:41:37,820 --> 00:41:42,236
I am noticing that
AIDS seems to have

657
00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:45,427
taken away some of the good
to sex in the bathrooms.

658
00:41:45,546 --> 00:41:47,784
People just don't...

659
00:41:48,090 --> 00:41:52,493
in fact, the bathrooms don't seem
be as full as before.

660
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,149
And there is not so much activity and no
They seem so good now.

661
00:41:57,500 --> 00:42:00,109
There is much less
penetrative sex.

662
00:42:00,473 --> 00:42:02,868
I think mainly,
It's mutual masturbation.

663
00:42:04,111 --> 00:42:11,991
When I made the decision to
file an appeal,

664
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:16,360
at some point,
I could see the video

665
00:42:16,872 --> 00:42:24,838
and I had an experience that
It was quite unexpected for me.

666
00:42:24,906 --> 00:42:28,140
I never expected to see myself behaving
sexually in a video.

667
00:42:29,650 --> 00:42:34,524
It was an experience
very self-affirming.

668
00:42:34,728 --> 00:42:38,640
I was quite surprised
how good I felt,

669
00:42:39,401 --> 00:42:44,614
even taking into account anxiety
What caused me the experience?

670
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,047
and the anxiety of the circumstance itself.

671
00:42:47,271 --> 00:42:51,837
Beyond all that,
It was very self-affirming,

672
00:42:52,697 --> 00:42:56,372
the experience of having to see me
sexually in a video.

673
00:42:56,453 --> 00:43:04,603
I was delighted by the human, the physical,
sexual and how beautiful I looked

674
00:43:04,740 --> 00:43:06,442
and I was surprised.

675
00:43:07,887 --> 00:43:10,037
Well the reason why
What am I doing this interview?

676
00:43:10,084 --> 00:43:13,425
it is because not many
men talk about the fact

677
00:43:13,475 --> 00:43:18,079
who go to the bathrooms to have sex,
but there are thousands who do it

678
00:43:18,192 --> 00:43:24,402
and almost no one talks about it and it seems
being afraid that people will criticize them,

679
00:43:24,582 --> 00:43:28,040
or are they ashamed
of what they do,

680
00:43:28,087 --> 00:43:31,748
But I don't think they should be ashamed.
from going to the bathrooms to have sex,

681
00:43:31,801 --> 00:43:35,683
because it is a legitimate place
to have sex.

682
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:41,692
And the reason I'm dressed up
It's because, well, for several reasons.

683
00:43:42,379 --> 00:43:50,305
I agreed to do this interview because
It is important that the topic be presented,

684
00:43:52,500 --> 00:44:01,767
that the theme be interpreted and that
give publicity, so that it is discussed

685
00:44:02,306 --> 00:44:06,770
in the gay and lesbian community
also in the community in general

686
00:44:07,217 --> 00:44:10,947
much more broadly
of how it has been treated.

687
00:44:11,774 --> 00:44:17,500
Another reason is because I don't have
control over who is going to see this film.

688
00:44:18,155 --> 00:44:23,500
And I don't want some court
use it against me in the future

689
00:44:23,803 --> 00:44:29,500
or by some unknown relative
He doesn't even know I'm gay.

690
00:44:31,295 --> 00:44:38,366
I'm sorry. This is what I discovered
about the pleasures of sex in bathrooms.

691
00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:46,106
I find it absolutely
disgusting and immoral.

692
00:44:47,250 --> 00:44:50,974
I just can't do it
tolerate. "Anonymous sex."

693
00:44:51,450 --> 00:44:53,861
They have absolutely no
no commitment.

694
00:44:53,922 --> 00:44:56,447
Oh yeah, they don't have any
commitment. Florence?

695
00:44:56,554 --> 00:45:01,439
The fact is that they are talking
of sex in public bathrooms.

696
00:45:01,673 --> 00:45:03,646
I mean, they are places
public, Sergei.

697
00:45:03,809 --> 00:45:06,149
Children come in all the time.

698
00:45:07,442 --> 00:45:11,033
The primitives have always sought
desire satisfaction

699
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:14,520
among the groves, the fountains,
the caves, nature.

700
00:45:15,509 --> 00:45:17,409
Sex in public bathrooms
It's not beautiful.

701
00:45:17,450 --> 00:45:20,216
It's not pretty. It's ugly,
It's dirty, it's perverse.

702
00:45:20,578 --> 00:45:24,118
And that's what's exciting. That's what
drives men to these acts.

703
00:45:24,948 --> 00:45:26,801
The men are in mourning. Ha!

704
00:45:26,898 --> 00:45:30,095
Men have always
thought they have

705
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,928
every right to have sex
when and how they want.

706
00:45:35,926 --> 00:45:39,396
His broad generalizations are so
bad like Sergei's romanticism.

707
00:45:51,858 --> 00:45:56,785
THE BATHROOM DOWNLOAD

708
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,753
What do you know about that
new officer, Dorian Gray?

709
00:46:22,189 --> 00:46:23,389
Bit.

710
00:46:23,825 --> 00:46:25,655
Transferred wine
from Mississauga, right?

711
00:46:26,011 --> 00:46:29,203
The kids on the tenth floor
They say he lives in that same church.

712
00:46:29,746 --> 00:46:31,136
That's all?

713
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:33,500
Let's bring the man here.

714
00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:37,711
<i>"...Frances and Langston discovered
a rare coin shop,</i>

715
00:46:37,736 --> 00:46:41,356
<i>and they changed our
different kopeks and pesos

716
00:46:41,452 --> 00:46:45,528
<i>for some money that
we could use in 1987.</i>

717
00:46:45,553 --> 00:46:47,813
<i>Right next to it there was a
second-hand bookstore,

718
00:46:47,838 --> 00:46:50,363
<i>who had the most biographies
funny about our lives..."</i>

719
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:53,664
I have seen these...
in the first passages.

720
00:46:57,625 --> 00:47:04,661
In 1914, when I was 16 years old, I went to
entertain the wounded. I took cigarettes.

721
00:47:05,578 --> 00:47:10,493
I didn't kiss anyone on the lips,
like Mr. Walt (Whitman) did...

722
00:47:12,293 --> 00:47:14,965
I entertained them with my drawings.

723
00:47:16,037 --> 00:47:19,412
The wounded officers held me
politely for a few days,

724
00:47:19,459 --> 00:47:23,360
but in the end they asked me
to draw them girls.

725
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:30,293
They asked for drawings with the always
Popular themes from bathhouse folklore.

726
00:47:30,623 --> 00:47:31,752
Okay and now...

727
00:47:31,847 --> 00:47:36,400
George Grosz, the artist, made
graffiti of Jolian Walsh posing

728
00:47:36,425 --> 00:47:40,704
as a stylistic model for his
drawings, so why not me?

729
00:47:41,324 --> 00:47:46,580
Besides, I could never do
Enough Vargas girls, right?

730
00:47:47,511 --> 00:47:52,076
Well for men
gays, it's much better, right?

731
00:47:55,058 --> 00:48:00,640
"...In fact, Diego Rivera encouraged the
Frida's homosexual romances.

732
00:48:01,324 --> 00:48:06,299
Some say because he knew
that, as an older man,

733
00:48:06,311 --> 00:48:11,213
could not or did not want to satisfy
to his much younger wife..."

734
00:48:12,101 --> 00:48:16,057
Jean van Heijenoort: "...
Marxists and he considered

735
00:48:16,124 --> 00:48:21,181
Frida's lesbian romances, like a
kind of security barrier..."

736
00:48:22,419 --> 00:48:23,801
Safety barrier?

737
00:48:23,967 --> 00:48:25,591
I think I've found something.

738
00:48:28,825 --> 00:48:32,416
"...Mishima's private life in
This time had a certain resemblance

739
00:48:32,428 --> 00:48:35,812
with which Yuichi was carrying, a
character from "Forbidden Colors"...

740
00:48:36,557 --> 00:48:39,191
...I knew a lot more about
guys that we..."

741
00:48:39,884 --> 00:48:42,982
"...To stay with one
of his literary friends,

742
00:48:42,994 --> 00:48:45,974
frequented the Brunswick,
a gay bar in Ginza...

743
00:48:46,460 --> 00:48:49,450
...There he met Akihiro
Maruyama, 17 years old,

744
00:48:49,462 --> 00:48:52,892
who had just started a
golden race in gay bars,

745
00:48:53,205 --> 00:48:56,579
and then graduate
theater, where it became

746
00:48:56,591 --> 00:48:59,608
in the female imitator
most famous of his time..."

747
00:49:01,374 --> 00:49:05,181
"...The two men were dancing together
times, but they didn't have any romance,

748
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:11,001
according to Maruyama, who does not
I thought he was handsome..."

749
00:49:11,287 --> 00:49:13,315
He wasn't my type!

750
00:49:15,271 --> 00:49:17,411
What is your type?

751
00:49:20,532 --> 00:49:23,546
"...Langston not only received
Countee Cullen letters,

752
00:49:23,852 --> 00:49:26,149
the Renaissance poet
from Harlem...

753
00:49:26,452 --> 00:49:28,874
Countee had also
sent an essential poem

754
00:49:28,886 --> 00:49:31,320
inspired by L.H., titled
To a dark boy..."

755
00:49:31,691 --> 00:49:35,692
This is the part I liked, "...Hughes
He surely perceived the nuances of the poem.

756
00:49:36,179 --> 00:49:39,512
By then I also knew
that between him, and luck and color

757
00:49:39,524 --> 00:49:42,712
of his fellow poet, there was also
same-sex attraction..."

758
00:49:45,011 --> 00:49:49,657
Very delicate. It seems that no one ever
He was very sure about us.

759
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:55,538
I read this book from start to finish and just
I was able to find a sneaky reference.

760
00:49:57,752 --> 00:50:02,110
"...It was not until some time
Afterwards, they knew that

761
00:50:02,122 --> 00:50:06,921
Lorado Taft, still feeding
his bitterness towards Florence,

762
00:50:07,471 --> 00:50:11,329
already convinced that she is not
had fully appreciated,

763
00:50:11,341 --> 00:50:15,146
everything he had done before,
wrote to the French sculptor,

764
00:50:15,293 --> 00:50:19,130
warning him that Florence
and Francis were not only

765
00:50:19,142 --> 00:50:23,500
inconsequential sculptors,
but to top it all off a couple of lesbians..."

766
00:50:26,162 --> 00:50:29,709
It was his first attack
with that insinuation.

767
00:50:31,245 --> 00:50:35,038
And the last one. The next...

768
00:50:35,481 --> 00:50:38,500
Dorian, it's your turn.
-No.

769
00:50:46,406 --> 00:50:53,674
DAY FOUR

770
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:09,033
We stopped arguing out of necessity. so many
books to read, so many new ideas.

771
00:51:09,306 --> 00:51:11,987
I mean, we all had
our different ways of

772
00:51:11,999 --> 00:51:14,826
talk about sex, but this was
how to learn a new language.

773
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:21,463
I think he moved
a few days ago.

774
00:51:21,993 --> 00:51:23,460
Yes, sir.

775
00:51:24,267 --> 00:51:28,787
Living on Glenrose Ave.,
I see. Nice place, Gray?

776
00:51:29,206 --> 00:51:30,580
Yes, sir.

777
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:33,239
Tell us a little
About that, Gray.

778
00:51:33,839 --> 00:51:35,839
There's not much to tell, sir.

779
00:51:36,233 --> 00:51:38,760
Living with a group
of artists, I see, Gray.

780
00:51:39,119 --> 00:51:40,460
Yes sir.

781
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,500
Tell us about those
artists he lives with, Gray.

782
00:51:43,632 --> 00:51:45,874
That's my private life, sir.

783
00:51:49,154 --> 00:51:52,065
We are very interested
​​in your private life, Gray.

784
00:52:04,404 --> 00:52:07,884
So what is this?
Are you going to paint that?

785
00:52:08,083 --> 00:52:12,634
Maybe. Although it is a portrait of
group. It is not a "still life".

786
00:52:14,343 --> 00:52:18,087
Ah, our strange little one
group, huh?  Which one am I?

787
00:52:18,344 --> 00:52:19,420
Do you like this one?

788
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:20,600
Hey...

789
00:52:22,308 --> 00:52:24,955
It is quite symmetrical,
Have you noticed it?

790
00:52:26,770 --> 00:52:31,644
Three women, three men, the
different countries, different colors,

791
00:52:32,044 --> 00:52:36,663
the game between the south and the north, the
east and west, and then the ages.

792
00:52:36,910 --> 00:52:40,500
You have to be careful, Frida,
or will it look like one of those posters

793
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:43,162
that our "Commissariat
for Foreign Affairs"

794
00:52:43,174 --> 00:52:46,246
produces for "the unity of
international proletariat".

795
00:52:46,774 --> 00:52:50,500
A perfectly fucked up harmony.

796
00:52:50,897 --> 00:52:54,571
The composition is so
perfect that is insidious.

797
00:52:55,500 --> 00:52:57,336
You picked the fruits too well, eh?

798
00:52:57,736 --> 00:53:00,009
But I didn't pick the fruits, Sergei.

799
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:02,500
No, I guess not.

800

Joplin, Missouri.  He died in 1967 in Harlem.</i>

801
00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:27,500
<i>Prolific poet, essayist and playwright.</i>

802
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:29,568
<i>Active in the Renaissance

STUDY ON RAZZIAS IN BATHROOMS
FROM SMALL TOWNS OF ONTARIO
by Langston Hughes.

811
00:54:01,314 --> 00:54:03,941
Seven raids in bathrooms
in less than two years,

812
00:54:04,374 --> 00:54:06,524
and in seven small towns
from southwestern Ontario.

813
00:54:07,382 --> 00:54:08,549
Coincidence?

814
00:54:09,153 --> 00:54:12,229
In each one, about 30 men
They were charged with gross indecency.

815
00:54:13,029 --> 00:54:15,948
On each occasion the tests
collected with hidden video cameras.

816
00:54:16,668 --> 00:54:17,777
Coincidence?

817
00:54:19,874 --> 00:54:21,313
This is how raids happen.

818
00:54:21,625 --> 00:54:22,966
A typical example.

819
00:54:23,685 --> 00:54:25,845
They barely receive one
complaint about a public bathroom.

820
00:54:26,392 --> 00:54:28,125
They investigate but not
They get no proof.

821
00:54:28,970 --> 00:54:30,710
They know something is happening.

822
00:54:30,989 --> 00:54:33,623
But every time
They come in, nothing happens.

823
00:54:33,955 --> 00:54:35,847
Just a group of
men combing their hair

824
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,880
They need proof.

825
00:54:38,136 --> 00:54:39,877
Without evidence there is no crime.

826
00:54:40,554 --> 00:54:42,901
They know that men
They do more than comb your hair.

827
00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:45,464
They call the OPP,

828
00:54:45,850 --> 00:54:47,452
Ontario Provincial Police.

829
00:54:48,083 --> 00:54:50,406
The OPP has a new
video surveillance system.

830
00:54:51,197 --> 00:54:52,406
Coincidence?

831
00:54:52,990 --> 00:54:55,238
The OPP installs it above the cubicles.

832
00:54:55,679 --> 00:54:58,691
Sometimes a camera,
sometimes three cameras.

833
00:54:59,478 --> 00:55:01,748
They monitor everything and
They record sex on video.

834
00:55:02,468 --> 00:55:04,200
Sometimes for six weeks.

835
00:55:05,066 --> 00:55:07,655
They follow the men,
They find out where they live.

836
00:55:08,319 --> 00:55:10,216
They decide they have enough evidence.

837
00:55:10,489 --> 00:55:12,239
They arrest the men and accuse them.

838
00:55:12,822 --> 00:55:15,070
They make known their
names to the local press.

839
00:55:15,322 --> 00:55:16,497
That publishes them.

840
00:55:17,032 --> 00:55:19,407
Since the towns are so
little ones, everyone finds out.

841
00:55:20,376 --> 00:55:22,328
sometimes men
they lose their jobs.

842
00:55:22,859 --> 00:55:25,232
Sometimes they lose their
friends and family.

843
00:55:25,819 --> 00:55:27,545
Sometimes their lives are destroyed.

844
00:55:28,136 --> 00:55:29,426
Sometimes they leave the city.

845
00:55:29,451 --> 00:55:30,871
Sometimes they stay.

846
00:55:31,427 --> 00:55:34,786
In court they plead guilty and
They receive fines of a few hundred dollars.

847
00:55:34,907 --> 00:55:37,342
Or they are free immediately,
for being his first offense.

848
00:55:37,995 --> 00:55:40,088
Police in court
He has done his job.

849
00:55:40,399 --> 00:55:42,399
That's usually how it happens.

850
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,719
The OPP moves on to the next town.

851
00:55:45,068 --> 00:55:46,542
It happens again.

852
00:55:46,918 --> 00:55:48,510
Coincidence?

853
00:55:50,177 --> 00:55:53,969
This is what happened in Orillia
in September 1983.

854
00:55:54,883 --> 00:55:57,190
The bathroom is in the basement
from the Orillia Opera House.

855
00:55:57,853 --> 00:55:59,214
It's closed now.

856
00:55:59,721 --> 00:56:03,251
They arrested 32 men, including
the principal of a secondary school.

857
00:56:03,761 --> 00:56:05,500
A concert pianist.

858
00:56:05,686 --> 00:56:07,303
A construction worker.

859
00:56:07,783 --> 00:56:09,683
I called some of them
without much hope.

860
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,537
It was easy to find their numbers
in the newspaper list.

861
00:56:13,202 --> 00:56:15,014
Most hung up immediately.

862
00:56:15,182 --> 00:56:16,921
I couldn't blame them.

863
00:56:18,203 --> 00:56:20,829
One met me to drink
a coffee and talked about the city.

864
00:56:21,032 --> 00:56:22,821
He is married and has two children.

865
00:56:23,236 --> 00:56:25,389
His wife and friends were very supportive.

866
00:56:25,753 --> 00:56:27,533
He lost his job as
high school teacher

867
00:56:27,545 --> 00:56:29,467
and now works for
an accounting firm.

868
00:56:29,811 --> 00:56:31,540
He is not bitter.

869
00:56:31,708 --> 00:56:34,487
He tells me that Orillia has been
in recession since the war.

870
00:56:34,645 --> 00:56:36,464
With the income
lowest average.

871
00:56:36,883 --> 00:56:38,768
21% unemployment.

872
00:56:39,641 --> 00:56:42,096
Was it ever going to be
an important city.

873
00:56:42,701 --> 00:56:44,979
Stephen Leacock
satirized in his book,

874
00:56:45,355 --> 00:56:47,684
"Brilliant sketches of
a small town"

875
00:56:48,175 --> 00:56:50,731
In his book he called
Mariposa town.

876
00:56:51,018 --> 00:56:53,513
I smile and tell him that's the
Spanish word for queer.

877
00:56:54,227 --> 00:56:55,561
But he says, no.

878
00:56:55,874 --> 00:56:57,433
He didn't mean "Faggot."

879
00:56:57,899 --> 00:56:59,691
Mariposa means butterfly.

880
00:57:00,024 --> 00:57:02,736
wing nut,
flashlight light,

881
00:57:03,030 --> 00:57:04,603
the game of Blind Chicken.

882
00:57:08,297 --> 00:57:11,416
I'm going to Guelph, to the Park
SilverCreek. To the public bathroom.

883
00:57:12,775 --> 00:57:17,437
In June 1985, the police carried out two
days of surveillance and arrested 18 men.

884
00:57:18,331 --> 00:57:20,037
Some things were
different this time.

885
00:57:20,722 --> 00:57:22,464
Police did not release the names.

886
00:57:22,751 --> 00:57:24,305
The press did not publish them.

887
00:57:24,988 --> 00:57:27,016
The local gay community
organized a defense fund

888
00:57:27,041 --> 00:57:28,621
and a support group
for men.

889
00:57:29,524 --> 00:57:31,865
A university student
pleaded not guilty,

890
00:57:32,318 --> 00:57:35,090
alleging that video surveillance
violated his right to privacy

891
00:57:35,140 --> 00:57:37,216
under the Charter of
Rights and Freedoms.

892
00:57:37,944 --> 00:57:39,252
The judge agreed,

893
00:57:39,381 --> 00:57:42,387
but still allowed them to show
video evidence in court

894
00:57:42,419 --> 00:57:44,052
and declared the student guilty,

895
00:57:44,128 --> 00:57:45,752
along with the other men.

896
00:57:48,033 --> 00:57:49,773
I tried to contact the student,

897
00:57:49,965 --> 00:57:51,773
the number had
been disconnected.

898
00:57:52,486 --> 00:57:54,743
I walked through the park several times.

899
00:57:55,611 --> 00:57:57,975
Every time it happened
By the bathroom, it was empty.

900
00:57:58,665 --> 00:58:00,555
Across the street,
going down a block,

901
00:58:00,642 --> 00:58:02,983
is found the
OPP police station.

902
00:58:03,328 --> 00:58:05,186
people looked at me
with suspicion.

903
00:58:05,674 --> 00:58:07,874
I had never been in a
"so white" town.

904
00:58:08,590 --> 00:58:10,639
I wrote down the movies that
They were on the poster,

905
00:58:10,767 --> 00:58:12,405
the magazines that
They were for sale,

906
00:58:12,776 --> 00:58:14,466
and the songs that
were playing on the radio.

907
00:58:15,058 --> 00:58:16,930
The same as in Orillia,

908
00:58:17,054 --> 00:58:19,630
Kitchener, Oakville,
Hamilton, Welland:

909
00:58:20,470 --> 00:58:23,271
A detective on the loose
in Hollywood II, Terminator,

910
00:58:23,964 --> 00:58:25,950
Time, Newsweek,

911
00:58:26,331 --> 00:58:27,672
Rock Heavy Metal,

912
00:58:27,770 --> 00:58:29,035
Papa Don't Preach.

913
00:58:29,171 --> 00:58:31,232
I asked the woman
from the cinema box office

914
00:58:31,257 --> 00:58:33,245
if they ever passed
Canadian films.

915
00:58:33,625 --> 00:58:35,114
She didn't understand.

916
00:58:37,272 --> 00:58:38,655
I went to Welland,

917
00:58:38,762 --> 00:58:40,811
but the "Seaway Mall"
It was closed.

918
00:58:41,302 --> 00:58:44,870
There is the bathroom where they arrested
33 men in December 1983.

919
00:58:45,903 --> 00:58:48,262
A local magazine wrote
a sarcastic editorial

920
00:58:48,287 --> 00:58:49,693
about video surveillance,

921
00:58:49,806 --> 00:58:51,721
accusing the police
of wanting to make movies

922
00:58:51,746 --> 00:58:53,099
Like Steven Spielberg.

923
00:58:53,798 --> 00:58:55,500
Sergeant Bob Shannon
retaliated

924
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:57,398
suing the magazine
for tendentious.

925
00:58:59,879 --> 00:59:02,124
The "Seaway Mall" is
half an hour from Fairview Mall.

926
00:59:02,149 --> 00:59:03,199
in St. Catharines.

927
00:59:03,965 --> 00:59:06,045
It was also closed
when I arrived.

928
00:59:06,819 --> 00:59:09,270
The bathroom where the
raid was open,

929
00:59:09,683 --> 00:59:11,500
because it was stuck
to a restaurant.

930
00:59:12,023 --> 00:59:14,207
I tried to get in but the owner kicked me out.

931
00:59:14,741 --> 00:59:17,426
I told him about my research
and called me a “queer lover.”

932
00:59:18,021 --> 00:59:20,250
He wrote down my patent
car and called the police.

933
00:59:20,737 --> 00:59:21,863
I left.

934
00:59:25,576 --> 00:59:28,243
The St. Catharines raid
she became famous.

935
00:59:28,500 --> 00:59:31,353
The newspapers were full of
articles and letters for weeks.

936
00:59:32,097 --> 00:59:33,237
Example:

937
00:59:33,999 --> 00:59:37,500
"...As a taxpayer, I support
gladly police surveillance...

938
00:59:38,297 --> 00:59:41,190
...Prevents innocent children
or passers-by are raped..."

939
00:59:42,251 --> 00:59:43,500
Another example:

940
00:59:43,977 --> 00:59:46,475
"...I don't care how much money
of taxes is used...

941
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:49,024
...to get those sick out
of all public toilets..."

942
00:59:49,767 --> 00:59:51,132
Other:

943
00:59:51,500 --> 00:59:53,700
"...They should not only
publish the names,...

944
00:59:54,091 --> 00:59:56,633
...but also the photos of
those disgusting criminals..."

945
01:00:00,137 --> 01:00:02,500
One of the 32 men
arrested in St. Catharines

946
01:00:03,131 --> 01:00:04,751
He was a 42-year-old salesman,

947
01:00:05,104 --> 01:00:07,500
Sunday catechist
and father of two children.

948
01:00:08,419 --> 01:00:10,730
He was summoned to
police station on January 5

949
01:00:10,755 --> 01:00:12,425
under the charge of
gross indecency.

950
01:00:13,170 --> 01:00:16,223
He returned home, said goodbye to
his wife and children with a kiss,

951
01:00:16,746 --> 01:00:18,180
and left in his car.

952
01:00:19,017 --> 01:00:21,103
While driving slowly
along a country road,

953
01:00:21,856 --> 01:00:24,500
poured gasoline on his body
and turned on his lighter.

954
01:00:25,616 --> 01:00:27,507
When the car was
discovered in a ditch,

955
01:00:28,213 --> 01:00:30,500
the body was so burned
what they had to use

956
01:00:30,525 --> 01:00:32,340
your dental records
to identify it.

957
01:00:38,250 --> 01:00:40,638
The suicide made headlines throughout the country.

958
01:00:41,236 --> 01:00:44,096
Some of those who had applauded
previous bathroom raids

959
01:00:44,293 --> 01:00:46,832
Now they were wondering if the police
had gone too far,

960
01:00:47,157 --> 01:00:49,473
maybe even leading to
this man to death.

961
01:00:50,037 --> 01:00:52,229
Some newspapers published
Compassionate articles.

962
01:00:52,409 --> 01:00:55,123
Describing bathrooms as
only safe meeting places

963
01:00:55,148 --> 01:00:57,034
for gay men
from small towns.

964
01:00:57,391 --> 01:00:59,391
Even the far-right
Barbara Amiel,

965
01:00:59,661 --> 01:01:02,141
and the homophobic "Toronto
Sun" condemned the police,

966
01:01:02,794 --> 01:01:04,728
saying that two children
They don't have a father

967
01:01:04,998 --> 01:01:06,738
and that the man suffered
a horrible death,

968
01:01:07,231 --> 01:01:09,618
because there was a lack of charity, compassion,

969
01:01:10,118 --> 01:01:13,443
and the political will to put
in order to the police forces.

970
01:01:16,465 --> 01:01:18,752
St. Catherine and Guelph in 1985

971
01:01:19,214 --> 01:01:21,231
were the last great
such raids.

972
01:01:21,627 --> 01:01:23,635
All that equipment
high tech surveillance

973
01:01:23,695 --> 01:01:25,780
is probably gathering
dust somewhere,

974
01:01:26,254 --> 01:01:28,087
since it is of no use for anything else.

975
01:01:29,260 --> 01:01:32,146
Of course, the local police
They can continue using other tactics,

976
01:01:32,606 --> 01:01:34,500
like traps with
undercover police,

977
01:01:35,086 --> 01:01:36,500
like they do in Toronto.

978
01:01:37,332 --> 01:01:39,105
If so, don't
They are advertising.

979
01:01:39,886 --> 01:01:41,886
That doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

980
01:01:43,034 --> 01:01:45,347
Because of course
sex still happens.

981
01:01:46,340 --> 01:01:49,213
Surveillance,
scandals, names

982
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,048
they scared only
a few people.

983
01:01:51,790 --> 01:01:53,500
And if you are married and
you have two children,

984
01:01:53,752 --> 01:01:55,179
and there is nowhere to go...

985
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:56,806
What are you going to do?

986
01:01:57,351 --> 01:01:59,500
If you are 17 years old and not
you can tell anyone,

987
01:01:59,964 --> 01:02:01,211
where are you going to go?

988
01:02:01,831 --> 01:02:03,361
These people don't care.

989
01:02:03,500 --> 01:02:04,882
Not really.

990
01:02:05,294 --> 01:02:07,427
They only feel guilty
when you commit suicide

991
01:02:08,227 --> 01:02:11,104
And they're pretty good at forgetting
of that after a few weeks.

992
01:02:11,493 --> 01:02:14,034
After all,
It's your own fault.

993
01:02:15,154 --> 01:02:16,471
Coincidence?

994
01:02:16,953 --> 01:02:21,072
<i>1988: In a recent case the Court
of Appeals of Ontario confirmed</i>

995
01:02:21,146 --> 01:02:23,372
<i>constitutionality
of mass arrests</i>

996
01:02:23,384 --> 01:02:25,282
<i>in bathrooms and the
police video surveillance.</i>

997
01:02:25,344 --> 01:02:27,667
<i>Gay activists
they are appealing</i>

998
01:02:27,679 --> 01:02:30,177
<i>this decision before the
Supreme Court of Canada.</i>

999
01:02:32,419 --> 01:02:36,065
THE BATHROOM DOWNLOAD

1000
01:03:06,527 --> 01:03:10,333
THE UPPER BATHROOM

1001
01:03:30,936 --> 01:03:34,355
THE BATHROOM DOWNLOAD

1002
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:58,706
I thought about taking a shower
with you to save water.

1003
01:03:58,974 --> 01:04:01,334
Oh, I see, really?

1004
01:04:01,931 --> 01:04:06,839
What caused this sudden
concern for that natural resource, eh?

1005
01:04:06,982 --> 01:04:09,739
I have been inspired by the love of
Miss Wyle by nature.

1006
01:04:09,928 --> 01:04:13,563
Oh, it seems like a
bit out of place.

1007
01:04:13,661 --> 01:04:15,099
It surprises me.

1008
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:17,500
Furthermore, I can
rub your back.

1009
01:04:17,893 --> 01:04:20,946
Well, okay then.

1010
01:04:21,500 --> 01:04:24,324
As long as you do it
"clean and relaxed."

1011
01:04:25,178 --> 01:04:26,331
Don't talk.

1012
01:04:26,731 --> 01:04:28,271
Don't worry.

1013
01:04:35,649 --> 01:04:40,859
DAY FIVE

1014
01:04:56,153 --> 01:04:57,701
Good day.

1015
01:04:58,348 --> 01:04:59,705
You shouldn't come in like that.

1016
01:05:00,085 --> 01:05:02,258
I just came to see if you
I would like some coffee.

1017
01:05:02,413 --> 01:05:05,413
Well, he's very kind.
From you, Frida.

1018
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:07,692
Maybe you want to go to the
cook and prepare it.

1019
01:05:07,905 --> 01:05:10,500
I'm also worried
for our fucking mission.

1020
01:05:11,192 --> 01:05:14,254
I'm worried too
For my fucking privacy.

1021
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:17,500
We do all this research
that we don't even care.

1022
01:05:18,381 --> 01:05:22,500
We sit and discuss
every night about...

1023
01:05:23,037 --> 01:05:24,594
about bathrooms!

1024
01:05:25,124 --> 01:05:27,781
Well, I'm afraid so.
we can't think of something,

1025
01:05:27,819 --> 01:05:29,193
They are going to leave us here.

1026
01:05:29,500 --> 01:05:30,500
Mmmm.

1027
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:31,500
Mmmm.

1028
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:32,500
Mmmm.

1029
01:05:33,011 --> 01:05:38,493
Oh, and Dorian, how's it going?
that police job?

1030
01:05:39,905 --> 01:05:41,500
He barely talked to us about it.

1031
01:05:42,651 --> 01:05:45,363
If I were him, it would be
a thieving bitch

1032
01:05:45,503 --> 01:05:48,217
and put poison in it
police chief coffee

1033
01:05:48,620 --> 01:05:52,533
Dear, dear Frida,
why don't you go...

1034
01:05:52,613 --> 01:05:55,223
...to infiltrate somewhere else?

1035
01:06:09,366 --> 01:06:12,131
You never wrote poems
homosexuals, right?

1036
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:13,931
Of course not.

1037
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:17,106
Well, as you heard
there, but they are private.

1038
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:20,105
Can you imagine that
Do they publish something like that?

1039
01:06:20,782 --> 01:06:22,500
I would like to see them sometime.

1040
01:06:23,859 --> 01:06:26,126
It would be very fun
make a movie once.

1041
01:06:26,525 --> 01:06:27,959
A homosexual movie.

1042
01:06:29,061 --> 01:06:31,255
But of course, it's impossible.

1043
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:35,500
The laws, the censors,
the public, I know them.

1044
01:06:36,486 --> 01:06:40,018
Do you remember what happened Radcliffe Hall
When did you publish "The Well of Solitude"?

1045
01:06:40,500 --> 01:06:42,191
I don't think we're that brave.

1046
01:06:43,231 --> 01:06:46,513
The truth, Sergei, I think
that I wouldn't want to do it anymore.

1047
01:06:47,500 --> 01:06:52,935
Do you mean that if you were
I live today, wouldn't you make that "gay art"?

1048
01:06:53,479 --> 01:06:56,393
It seems to be the last cry
at the service of fashion.

1049
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:57,500
I doubt it.

1050
01:06:57,848 --> 01:06:59,368
It seems so superficial.

1051
01:06:59,500 --> 01:07:01,136
"Gay art", "gay politics".

1052
01:07:01,902 --> 01:07:04,024
Can you imagine when I go
to Spain next month,

1053
01:07:04,202 --> 01:07:07,478
If I started writing about the impact
of the civil war on homosexuals?

1054
01:07:07,730 --> 01:07:09,526
Or in the south of the Scottsboro Boys...

1055
01:07:09,772 --> 01:07:13,470
If I interviewed them about their sexual tastes
And how did they get to the electric chair?

1056
01:07:13,576 --> 01:07:15,976
Homosexuals were also
sent to the chair, you know?

1057
01:07:16,272 --> 01:07:19,274
Yes, but you can't compare
being black with sucking cocks.

1058
01:07:22,279 --> 01:07:24,469
No, it's okay,
you're right.

1059
01:07:25,051 --> 01:07:26,912
We have our priorities.

1060
01:07:30,489 --> 01:07:32,500
I wish I was back in Moscow.

1061
01:07:33,502 --> 01:07:34,980
Yes I know what you mean.

1062
01:07:35,446 --> 01:07:37,446
I wish I was in Harlem.

1063
01:07:39,356 --> 01:07:41,146
That Gray is up to something.

1064
01:07:41,207 --> 01:07:43,148
Our boy who was
watching the house says

1065
01:07:43,173 --> 01:07:45,160
that happened all the time
time in the attic bathroom.

1066
01:07:45,808 --> 01:07:47,808
Any ideas on what to do?

1067
01:07:48,538 --> 01:07:51,311
No, we could put one
camera there, if that would help.

1068
01:07:55,631 --> 01:08:00,025
Yukio went out that afternoon and rented
movies in a video store.

1069
01:08:00,612 --> 01:08:03,059
He came back showing off
terribly because there was

1070
01:08:03,084 --> 01:08:05,437
a great feature film
Hollywood about his life,

1071
01:08:05,844 --> 01:08:08,874
while the rest of us
there were only modest documentaries.

1072
01:08:09,847 --> 01:08:12,880
He also found an old movie
in black and white on Dorian,

1073
01:08:12,945 --> 01:08:15,305
based on that biography
by Oscar Wilde.

1074
01:08:16,209 --> 01:08:17,659
But when Dorian saw her,

1075
01:08:18,093 --> 01:08:20,569
he turned completely pale
and left the room.

1076
01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:23,726
THE UPPER BATHROOM

1077
01:08:54,395 --> 01:08:58,512
<i>Florence Wyle. Born 1881, Trenton,
Illinois.  He died in 1968 in Toronto.</i>

1078
01:08:58,591 --> 01:09:01,913
<i>He lived almost 50 years in the church with
Frances Loring. She became a sculptor.</i>

1079
01:09:02,078 --> 01:09:03,704
<i>The topic was often
female nude.</i>

1080
01:09:03,729 --> 01:09:05,863
<i>Some works were
purchased by the National Gallery.</i>

1081
01:09:05,888 --> 01:09:08,415
<i>He made one in tribute to Edith
Cavell on University Avenue.</i>

1082
01:09:08,440 --> 01:09:10,601
<i>He actively participated in
several artists' societies.</i>

1083
01:09:10,626 --> 01:09:12,946
<i>Always dressed as a man.
Cat fan.</i>

1084
01:09:17,012 --> 01:09:19,012
It looks like a real
Bitter bitch, right?

1085
01:09:19,174 --> 01:09:21,174
It seems so.

1086
01:09:21,672 --> 01:09:25,672
The Art Gallery of Ontario will host
a retrospective of his work this month.

1087
01:09:55,708 --> 01:09:57,909
THE CONTROL OF SEX IN
TORONTO BATHROOMS
by Florence Wyle

1088
01:09:57,934 --> 01:09:59,688
When researching my topic,

1089
01:09:59,713 --> 01:10:03,500
I made numerous attempts to
interview Attorney General Ian Scott

1090
01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:05,790
and the Chief of Police, Jack Marks.

1091
01:10:06,664 --> 01:10:10,071
They both refused to talk to me.
when they knew what the topic was.

1092
01:10:10,711 --> 01:10:14,490
On the contrary, I spoke at length
with two homosexual activists

1093
01:10:14,524 --> 01:10:16,500
who have worked on this issue.

1094
01:10:17,346 --> 01:10:21,500
Courtwatch is an organization that a
group of people from the city of Toronto

1095
01:10:22,213 --> 01:10:26,986
created in the era of
bathroom raids in 1981.

1096
01:10:27,521 --> 01:10:29,645
As a result of the fact
what we observed

1097
01:10:29,657 --> 01:10:31,668
that many people
went through the courts

1098
01:10:32,181 --> 01:10:35,871
on charges of indecent acts,
gross indecency and...

1099
01:10:36,277 --> 01:10:37,316
that kind of thing.

1100
01:10:37,349 --> 01:10:39,613
And we realized that
were going through the courts

1101
01:10:39,647 --> 01:10:42,801
without knowing who to talk to,
and in legal terms

1102
01:10:42,854 --> 01:10:44,321
what was going to happen to them.

1103
01:10:44,608 --> 01:10:47,500
And in the courts
They were treated quite badly

1104
01:10:47,562 --> 01:10:50,695
due to homophobic nature
from most courtrooms.

1105
01:10:51,195 --> 01:10:54,035
The police, through their
intelligence department,

1106
01:10:54,289 --> 01:10:58,381
had focused on the community
gay as a good source of arrests.

1107
01:10:59,148 --> 01:11:01,868
They like to think in terms
of "sets of crimes."

1108
01:11:02,275 --> 01:11:07,592
We consider ourselves rather victims
of an organization that seeks to profit.

1109
01:11:08,352 --> 01:11:11,088
Although charges of indecency
serious, usually

1110
01:11:11,100 --> 01:11:14,270
involve two or more people
in a "public environment",

1111
01:11:14,750 --> 01:11:18,500
for example, a park, a
bathroom, a parked car,

1112
01:11:18,944 --> 01:11:21,500
charges for acts
indecent are less serious

1113
01:11:21,817 --> 01:11:24,570
and they generally apply to someone
who is caught masturbating.

1114
01:11:24,981 --> 01:11:29,994
Typically, these arrests
does the CIB or plainclothes agents.

1115
01:11:30,981 --> 01:11:34,407
The police will do everything
possible to generate the arrest.

1116
01:11:35,373 --> 01:11:38,120
They will be placed next to
the person at the urinal.

1117
01:11:39,081 --> 01:11:40,879
They look in the urinal
of the other person,

1118
01:11:40,904 --> 01:11:43,101
trying to see the crotch
of the other person.

1119
01:11:43,334 --> 01:11:44,500
They tend to masturbate

1120
01:11:44,500 --> 01:11:47,605
and in some cases, depending on the
testimony of some,

1121
01:11:47,778 --> 01:11:50,119
they really masturbate
in his presence.

1122
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:52,191
However, the greatest
problem we are

1123
01:11:52,203 --> 01:11:54,301
experiencing is that
when they come to court,

1124
01:11:54,594 --> 01:11:56,278
all this is
totally denied.

1125
01:11:56,500 --> 01:12:00,666
The officer says he stayed in
a totally observer role,

1126
01:12:00,930 --> 01:12:03,977
and none of the participation
real that the officer had

1127
01:12:03,989 --> 01:12:06,930
in the act it becomes
manifest before the court.

1128
01:12:07,150 --> 01:12:10,156
Because if it came to light, then
the judge would dismiss these cases.

1129
01:12:10,310 --> 01:12:12,625
The benefit for agents
of police is that they have

1130
01:12:12,637 --> 01:12:14,843
a kind of theoretical quota
that must be covered each month.

1131
01:12:14,909 --> 01:12:16,680
And there is a report of
computer printed

1132
01:12:16,705 --> 01:12:18,910
which shows how many
criminal offenses

1133
01:12:18,983 --> 01:12:23,816
and how many arrests and summonses
for crimes, they have generated.

1134
01:12:24,130 --> 01:12:28,058
And for police officers, this is
a nice and easy target group

1135
01:12:28,298 --> 01:12:31,279
to increase their arrests
criminal offenses of the month.

1136
01:12:31,865 --> 01:12:34,868
In, I would say, around
of 75% of the cases,

1137
01:12:35,075 --> 01:12:39,500
the victim or the accused
He comes to court and says:

1138
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:42,396
I didn't do anything. Simply
I was looking at this man.

1139
01:12:42,788 --> 01:12:45,285
He was looking at me.
I was looking at him.

1140
01:12:45,313 --> 01:12:49,265
I thought he was attractive and not
no real offense occurred

1141
01:12:49,425 --> 01:12:53,012
but when the officer arrives at the
court and presents his testimony,

1142
01:12:53,305 --> 01:12:55,406
creates crime in
his testimony.

1143
01:12:55,727 --> 01:13:00,624
He claims that the defendant was doing
that, when in reality nothing ever happened.

1144
01:13:01,656 --> 01:13:03,692
People who use
the bathrooms to have sex,

1145
01:13:03,788 --> 01:13:06,020
They are divided into several categories,
many categories,

1146
01:13:06,146 --> 01:13:08,523
people who are not
socially gay.

1147
01:13:08,799 --> 01:13:14,006
They don't, they don't belong to,
or have heterosexual families,

1148
01:13:14,313 --> 01:13:17,199
wives, children, homes
in the suburbs.

1149
01:13:17,333 --> 01:13:19,544
Well, it's a bit of a stereotype,

1150
01:13:19,677 --> 01:13:24,539
and they tend to have all the
gay sex they can

1151
01:13:24,665 --> 01:13:28,144
in anonymous situations
like in the bathrooms.

1152
01:13:28,500 --> 01:13:31,859
The irony is that they think
that those places are safe,

1153
01:13:32,345 --> 01:13:34,318
safer than entering
to a gay bar

1154
01:13:34,764 --> 01:13:38,972
Why not go into the bathroom?
identifies them as gay.

1155
01:13:39,925 --> 01:13:43,916
Sex in the bathrooms, for the community
gay is one of those areas that

1156
01:13:44,412 --> 01:13:49,412
It is still taboo, one of those areas
of which we have never come out of the closet.

1157
01:13:49,913 --> 01:13:53,733
We have never been able to
within the gay community,

1158
01:13:54,233 --> 01:13:57,605
identify it as a
aspect of our liberation

1159
01:13:57,854 --> 01:14:00,633
about how we were facing
our own sexuality.

1160
01:14:01,028 --> 01:14:05,315
And that's why there is still a lot of self-oppression
within this particular area,

1161
01:14:05,622 --> 01:14:08,948
and most men
homosexuals, if they are arrested

1162
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,090
for having sex in the bathrooms, nor
They don't even tell their friends.

1163
01:14:12,359 --> 01:14:15,024
Then they go to court
and they will plead guilty,

1164
01:14:15,036 --> 01:14:17,359
in the hope that
no one will ever find out.

1165
01:14:18,037 --> 01:14:20,302
Usually a man
who pleads guilty

1166
01:14:20,314 --> 01:14:22,500
goes free with a little girl
fine or exemption.

1167
01:14:22,977 --> 01:14:25,643
The trauma of being caught
It is a much greater shame.

1168
01:14:26,332 --> 01:14:29,262
There are 400 cases per year,
in downtown Toronto,

1169
01:14:29,441 --> 01:14:31,421
of these arrests for
"indecent acts"

1170
01:14:31,514 --> 01:14:34,794
and cost taxpayers
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year

1171
01:14:34,881 --> 01:14:36,483
in police costs
and judicial.

1172
01:14:37,126 --> 01:14:40,006
So who benefits?
Only the police, it seems,

1173
01:14:40,144 --> 01:14:42,841
who charges overtime for
appear in court

1174
01:14:42,921 --> 01:14:44,799
and keep their
monthly installments.

1175
01:14:45,199 --> 01:14:47,940
I ask Dennis
What would be the alternatives?

1176
01:14:48,246 --> 01:14:51,722
If there is a location that you consider to have
a bathroom, which became "problematic",

1177
01:14:51,763 --> 01:14:53,316
whatever it is
the reason,

1178
01:14:53,373 --> 01:14:56,011
there are several ways in
who can address it.

1179
01:14:56,071 --> 01:14:59,758
They can put up signs that say that
It is forbidden to stay for a long time.

1180
01:15:00,225 --> 01:15:03,753
They can put a lock on the
door, like some gas stations do,

1181
01:15:03,983 --> 01:15:08,294
and just give the key to people
Let them come up and ask to use the bathroom.

1182
01:15:08,768 --> 01:15:12,084
They can make the staff
uniformed security

1183
01:15:12,109 --> 01:15:15,500
that they already have hired
to monitor the buildings,

1184
01:15:15,817 --> 01:15:19,048
Also keep an eye on the bathrooms and
tell people

1185
01:15:19,082 --> 01:15:21,811
May it not stay long,
to come out and that kind of thing.

1186
01:15:22,104 --> 01:15:26,365
And they can also make
trespassing arrests on his own.

1187
01:15:26,711 --> 01:15:28,973
They can warn for
intrusion on people

1188
01:15:28,985 --> 01:15:30,934
that they find lurking
regularly.

1189
01:15:31,307 --> 01:15:33,681
And most of the time,
when this happens,

1190
01:15:33,693 --> 01:15:36,078
the people who are
warned for invasion

1191
01:15:36,378 --> 01:15:39,786
They are so scared by that,
They never go back to the bathroom.

1192
01:15:39,946 --> 01:15:42,666
And so the problem, if that is the
problem, it is solved right there.

1193
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,389
And what the police could do
is to stop not wearing a uniform

1194
01:15:46,442 --> 01:15:48,719
or rather, stop using
plainclothes agents.

1195
01:15:49,079 --> 01:15:53,810
And start using uniformed officers
because a uniformed man entering the bathroom

1196
01:15:53,991 --> 01:15:57,777
will definitely stop
everything that could be happening.

1197
01:15:57,984 --> 01:16:01,500
A uniformed officer showing
around a particular bathroom

1198
01:16:01,611 --> 01:16:03,969
definitely going to
discourage that bathroom

1199
01:16:04,008 --> 01:16:06,766
be used regularly
as a cruising place.

1200
01:16:08,450 --> 01:16:12,990
Gross Indecency, a law
which has been in force since 1892,

1201
01:16:13,323 --> 01:16:17,272
It was repealed in January 1988
by Bill C-15.

1202
01:16:17,755 --> 01:16:21,835
Senator Robinson, the first
openly gay parliamentarian from canada

1203
01:16:22,168 --> 01:16:25,349
and member of the Commission
Justice for the New Democratic Party

1204
01:16:25,549 --> 01:16:27,500
was responsible
of the repeal.

1205
01:16:28,082 --> 01:16:33,500
Until 1968 in Canada, all activity
Homosexuality was totally illegal.

1206
01:16:33,919 --> 01:16:37,821
In 1968, Pierre Trudeau
gave his famous speech

1207
01:16:37,928 --> 01:16:40,500
that the State has no place in
the bedrooms of the nation.

1208
01:16:40,870 --> 01:16:42,863
Which, of course, was
absolute nonsense

1209
01:16:42,888 --> 01:16:45,415
because the Gross Indecency Law,
which was later introduced,

1210
01:16:45,682 --> 01:16:47,572
It had three basic components.

1211
01:16:47,692 --> 01:16:51,289
First, that homosexual activity
It is Gross Indecency.

1212
01:16:51,381 --> 01:16:54,396
All homosexual activity
It is gross indecency.

1213
01:16:54,656 --> 01:16:58,167
But we will tolerate it in our
society, subject to three conditions.

1214
01:16:58,585 --> 01:17:04,250
First, that both participants
They must be at least 21 years of age.

1215
01:17:04,743 --> 01:17:08,089
Secondly, it can only
There must be two and no more than two participants.

1216
01:17:08,642 --> 01:17:15,493
And thirdly, that indecency
serious and offensive, can only occur,

1217
01:17:15,747 --> 01:17:19,141
the act can only occur in what
which is considered a private place.

1218
01:17:19,634 --> 01:17:22,500
And it is this distinction between
public and private place

1219
01:17:22,899 --> 01:17:25,308
is what has given rise to
so many accusations

1220
01:17:25,333 --> 01:17:28,748
and so many abuses of the law
by the police.

1221
01:17:29,500 --> 01:17:32,637
The current law, after C-15,
It's quite different.

1222
01:17:32,985 --> 01:17:39,493
In fact, homosexual activity
It is not addressed at all in the penal code.

1223
01:17:39,759 --> 01:17:42,103
Currently in Canada there is
an age of consent

1224
01:17:42,128 --> 01:17:45,173
for all activities
sexual, at 14 years old.

1225
01:17:45,753 --> 01:17:50,820
With one exception, and that is
obviously a blatant exception,

1226
01:17:50,845 --> 01:17:53,580
which, some of us
we try to eliminate,

1227
01:17:53,682 --> 01:17:59,130
and what is the crime of sodomy,
or anal intercourse, as it is called now.

1228
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,713
In that case, there are still
the same restrictions

1229
01:18:02,725 --> 01:18:05,551
that apply to the
participants in private,

1230
01:18:05,902 --> 01:18:09,417
and the age has reduced
from 21 to 18 years old.

1231
01:18:09,730 --> 01:18:12,078
So the law has advanced,
and it did significantly

1232
01:18:12,103 --> 01:18:15,421
since 1968 in the area
of gross indecency.

1233
01:18:15,644 --> 01:18:18,893
We have not yet reached the
total equality for gays and lesbians,

1234
01:18:18,946 --> 01:18:22,028
but we have managed
some important advances.

1235
01:18:23,500 --> 01:18:25,858
The police, of course,
can still use

1236
01:18:25,870 --> 01:18:28,143
charges of indecent acts
in bathroom raids.

1237
01:18:28,850 --> 01:18:30,880
In the early 80s,
some estimate that

1238
01:18:30,905 --> 01:18:33,610
more than 1,000 men were
arrested in Ontario every year.

1239
01:18:34,204 --> 01:18:38,423
However, at least in the center of
Toronto, that has begun to change.

1240
01:18:39,789 --> 01:18:47,776
The actual decrease in arrests in 1987 and
in 1986, for indecent acts is due to,

1241
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:56,026
number one, the new regulation on
sexual offer in the prostitution law,

1242
01:18:56,500 --> 01:18:59,042
which now has tons
of busy police officers

1243
01:18:59,054 --> 01:19:01,500
trying to clean the streets
of prostitutes and prostitutes

1244
01:19:01,673 --> 01:19:05,090
in response to screams
of homeowners

1245
01:19:05,121 --> 01:19:07,134
middle class
high income,

1246
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,306
in places like Cabbagetown
who want to get rid

1247
01:19:10,318 --> 01:19:13,124
of everything that degrades the
value of your properties

1248
01:19:13,306 --> 01:19:16,981
every so often, as if their
profits were not enough.

1249
01:19:17,500 --> 01:19:20,615
In other words, a mixture
of profits and losses.

1250
01:19:21,246 --> 01:19:24,953
On the positive side, it has been repealed
the law of gross indecency,

1251
01:19:24,965 --> 01:19:28,235
abortion has been legalized
and smoking has been prohibited.

1252
01:19:29,340 --> 01:19:31,889
On the negative side,
in British Columbia

1253
01:19:31,901 --> 01:19:34,509
legislation was enacted
quarantine against AIDS

1254
01:19:34,882 --> 01:19:37,585
and a new Censorship Law
threatens to criminalize

1255
01:19:37,597 --> 01:19:39,789
all kinds of
sexual images.

1256
01:19:40,500 --> 01:19:43,945
These defeats and victories
Contradictory means one thing.

1257
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:48,485
State intervention is
alive and well and increasing.

1258
01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:54,786
It's scary because, in effect, what
What we are saying is that while in 1968,

1259
01:19:54,860 --> 01:19:57,653
The state was supposed to
leave the bedrooms of the nation,

1260
01:19:58,073 --> 01:20:04,377
In 1987, the State and the police returned to
the bedrooms of the nation with a vengeance.

1261
01:20:04,754 --> 01:20:07,761
And not only in the bedrooms of the
nation, and I think this is important,

1262
01:20:07,786 --> 01:20:11,500
They are back in the living rooms
and in the dining rooms of the nation,

1263
01:20:11,525 --> 01:20:15,914
in the nation's backyards.
In the cinemas, in the theaters

1264
01:20:15,955 --> 01:20:18,041
and in libraries
and art galleries.

1265
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:22,384
And we must do everything
possible to tell those who

1266
01:20:22,396 --> 01:20:26,500
they try to impose this type
narrow-minded

1267
01:20:26,825 --> 01:20:28,692
that we will not accept it.

1268
01:20:28,831 --> 01:20:30,747
In this country we have
a Bill of Rights

1269
01:20:30,874 --> 01:20:35,854
that guarantees freedom of expression
and we demand that it be respected.

1270
01:20:37,518 --> 01:20:40,757
<i>"...After dinner, we all watched the
Hollywood movie about Yukio..."</i>

1271
01:20:40,782 --> 01:20:43,741
men wear
masks to beautify yourself.

1272
01:20:44,961 --> 01:20:46,461
But unlike a woman,

1273
01:20:46,654 --> 01:20:51,513
a man's determination to become
beautiful, it is always a death wish.

1274
01:20:53,511 --> 01:20:59,896
DAY SIX

1275
01:21:00,904 --> 01:21:03,500
We know that the group
will make his move soon.

1276
01:21:03,571 --> 01:21:06,370
We need hours,
dates, places.

1277
01:21:07,436 --> 01:21:09,658
They do nothing but investigate.

1278
01:21:10,331 --> 01:21:12,500
They don't discuss their plans with me.

1279
01:21:13,191 --> 01:21:14,871
We know about
that you hung in the attic.

1280
01:21:15,271 --> 01:21:17,091
We know you have a secret.

1281
01:21:18,211 --> 01:21:19,604
There is no secret.

1282
01:21:20,197 --> 01:21:21,500
One more day, Dorian.

1283
01:21:22,190 --> 01:21:24,500
This is your last
opportunity.

1284
01:21:29,500 --> 01:21:31,970
Nobody wanted to talk to me
after the movie last night.

1285
01:21:32,256 --> 01:21:33,729
How do you blame us?

1286
01:21:34,336 --> 01:21:36,500
Well, we thought that
You were a very nice young man.

1287
01:21:36,690 --> 01:21:39,964
Now it turns out that you are going to be a
terrible fascist and you will commit suicide.

1288
01:21:40,193 --> 01:21:43,500
Wait. I'm sure there are
many things the movie left out.

1289
01:21:44,266 --> 01:21:47,135
I thought I would look pretty
sexy in my military uniform.

1290
01:21:47,183 --> 01:21:49,109
But that's how your life will be.

1291
01:21:49,289 --> 01:21:50,500
Maybe that event.

1292
01:21:51,288 --> 01:21:53,902
But Hollywood doesn't know anything
on post-war politics,

1293
01:21:53,914 --> 01:21:56,648
about Japan, about
samurai tradition.

1294
01:21:57,501 --> 01:21:59,676
And clearly, you
Neither do Americans.

1295
01:22:00,241 --> 01:22:02,500
I'm Canadian now!
Thank you so much.

1296
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,500
You all look the same to me.

1297
01:22:06,500 --> 01:22:11,500
But they'll never learn anything about my life
or Japan if they trust their own film.

1298
01:22:19,833 --> 01:22:21,324
Have you noticed it?

1299
01:22:21,473 --> 01:22:23,089
My painting is gone.

1300
01:22:23,332 --> 01:22:26,332
I asked Dorian where
is and said he didn't know.

1301
01:22:26,587 --> 01:22:27,879
That's very strange.

1302
01:22:27,904 --> 01:22:29,525
He is very strange.

1303
01:22:29,819 --> 01:22:34,245
During the last few days it has been locked
for hours in that attic bathroom.

1304
01:22:36,420 --> 01:22:37,839
Do you have the key?

1305
01:22:37,933 --> 01:22:40,933
Well yes, but shouldn't we
respect your privacy?

1306
01:22:41,087 --> 01:22:43,243
Fuck! It's your house.

1307
01:22:51,500 --> 01:22:54,079
Langston, Langston, wake up.

1308
01:22:55,108 --> 01:22:56,506
I brought you something to drink.

1309
01:22:56,836 --> 01:22:59,071
I'm sure not
you can sleep in this heat.

1310
01:22:59,393 --> 01:23:01,988
I was asleep and I will return to
be when you leave.

1311
01:23:02,220 --> 01:23:04,220
Come on, come on, baby.

1312
01:23:07,226 --> 01:23:11,226
Look, Langston, I found
the most interesting book.

1313
01:23:11,500 --> 01:23:14,873
It's about how to have
What they call safe sex.

1314
01:23:15,019 --> 01:23:17,090
Oh, Sergei.  This is
our last night here.

1315
01:23:17,115 --> 01:23:19,247
I really need
sleep please

1316
01:23:19,500 --> 01:23:21,834
Well, exactly.
It's our last

1317
01:23:21,846 --> 01:23:24,994
opportunity to experiment
what they call...

1318
01:23:25,500 --> 01:23:26,870
What was it like?

1319
01:23:27,592 --> 01:23:32,500
The new sexual ethics as
result of the AIDS crisis.

1320
01:23:32,827 --> 01:23:34,506
You can try Yukio.

1321
01:23:34,789 --> 01:23:39,500
No, look, I brought some condoms
and a little lubricant.

1322
01:23:39,948 --> 01:23:43,061
Well, Langston,
Langston, try to understand.

1323
01:23:43,684 --> 01:23:45,964
It is your duty to participate.

1324
01:23:46,117 --> 01:23:48,500
It is the worst insinuating phrase
that I have ever heard.

1325
01:23:48,731 --> 01:23:54,500
Now look, look, look at all
these interesting positions.

1326
01:23:56,456 --> 01:24:03,261
Now why don't we start
for putting on this condom?

1327
01:24:08,521 --> 01:24:11,961
THE UPPER BATHROOM

1328
01:24:16,388 --> 01:24:18,626
Why would I try to hide it?

1329
01:24:19,227 --> 01:24:21,320
Maybe you feel shy
about it?

1330
01:24:21,886 --> 01:24:25,500
Yes, but that man doesn't have a
shy bone in his body.

1331
01:24:27,500 --> 01:24:32,500
Well, but, but, Frida,
I have to pee first.

1332
01:24:42,500 --> 01:24:44,115
Do you care?

1333
01:24:44,500 --> 01:24:47,500
I'm a little old-fashioned
regarding privacy.

1334
01:24:47,788 --> 01:24:49,195
I have been inspired.

1335
01:24:49,707 --> 01:24:51,500
It must be because of how they do it.

1336
01:24:51,905 --> 01:24:52,905
What thing?

1337
01:24:53,327 --> 01:24:55,500
Oh, Florence, you know.

1338
01:24:56,170 --> 01:24:58,500
Frida, no, this is not the place.

1339
01:24:59,014 --> 01:25:00,500
This is exactly the place.

1340
01:25:01,113 --> 01:25:03,113
We are doing an investigation.

1341
01:25:03,226 --> 01:25:04,500
This is all my fault.

1342
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,047
I'm afraid I've been flirting
with you shamelessly, Frida.

1343
01:25:09,180 --> 01:25:14,405
No, Frida, Frida, me, me,
I want you to understand

1344
01:25:14,625 --> 01:25:17,217
that would never occur to me
betray Frances.

1345
01:25:17,446 --> 01:25:19,164
You know what you're doing.

1346
01:25:19,259 --> 01:25:21,653
It's very attractive to me.

1347
01:25:26,730 --> 01:25:32,931
DAY SEVEN

1348
01:25:33,238 --> 01:25:36,791
<i>"...Everyone was silent during the
breakfast, lost in thought.</i>

1349
01:25:36,824 --> 01:25:40,391
<i>I guess we weren't
accustomed to failure.</i>

1350
01:25:40,455 --> 01:25:43,778
<i>I was particularly dejected
because my favorite chicken, </i>

1351
01:25:43,812 --> 01:25:47,552
<i>AJ Casson, was elected
for dinner that night..."</i>

1352
01:25:52,351 --> 01:25:57,041
<i>Frida Kahlo, born in 1907, Coyoacán,
Mexico City.  He died in 1954.</i>

1353
01:25:57,066 --> 01:25:59,066
<i>At the age of 18 he suffered
a traffic accident

1354
01:25:59,091 --> 01:26:01,572
<i>which caused him serious problems
doctors for the rest of his life.</i>

1355
01:26:01,710 --> 01:26:03,518
<i>He began painting during his convalescence.</i>

1356
01:26:03,543 --> 01:26:05,814
<i>Married to Diego Rivera,
a famous Mexican muralist,</i>

1357
01:26:05,861 --> 01:26:09,093
<i>and for a short time Secretary
General of the Communist Party of Mexico.</i>

1358
01:26:09,223 --> 01:26:11,841
<i>He traveled extensively throughout
United States with Rivera.</i>

1359
01:26:11,955 --> 01:26:13,823
<i>Both were expelled
​​of the Communist Party.</i>

1360
01:26:13,848 --> 01:26:15,848
<i>They joined the IV
Leon Trotsky International

1361
01:26:15,873 --> 01:26:18,064
<i>and they welcomed him during his
recent years in Mexico.</i>

1362
01:26:18,089 --> 01:26:20,747
<i>Kahlo had numerous adventures
with both men and women,</i>

1363
01:26:20,797 --> 01:26:22,674
<i>among them Trotsky, Isamu Noguchi,</i>

1364
01:26:22,699 --> 01:26:24,158
<i>and Judith Ferreto, his nurse.</i>

1365
01:26:24,348 --> 01:26:27,583
<i>He produced more than 200 paintings throughout
of his life, mostly self-portraits.</i>

1366
01:26:27,906 --> 01:26:30,960
<i>She spent her last 10 years crippled
and often confined to her bed.</i>

1367
01:26:31,231 --> 01:26:32,823
<i>Since her death she has been acclaimed</i>

1368
01:26:32,848 --> 01:26:34,974
<i>as one of the painters
most notable in Mexico.</i>

1369
01:26:39,482 --> 01:26:43,310
THE CONTROL OF SEXUALITY
IN SOCIETY
by Frida Kahlo

1370
01:26:43,591 --> 01:26:49,593
<i>In his book, Steven Leacock called Orillia
with the name "Butterfly" in Spanish,</i>

1371
01:26:49,646 --> 01:26:52,721
<i>butterfly means: butterfly,
wing nut, flashlight light,</i>

1372
01:26:52,733 --> 01:26:55,948
<i>Blind's Chicken Game....</i>

1373
01:26:56,228 --> 01:26:57,501
Well then!

1374
01:26:57,654 --> 01:27:01,928
We have put our differences
aside and adopted these reforms.

1375
01:27:02,447 --> 01:27:06,766
Looking for a middle ground between rights
of the individual and those of society.

1376
01:27:07,133 --> 01:27:12,640
And now, we congratulate each other.
The gay community tells us "well done",

1377
01:27:13,097 --> 01:27:18,251
and we return to the year 1937
very satisfied, right?

1378
01:27:18,667 --> 01:27:23,801
Well I'm not sure. Our
investigation began with a toilet,

1379
01:27:23,910 --> 01:27:29,463
passed through heterosexual men and
gays affected and concluded with the police.

1380
01:27:30,443 --> 01:27:33,036
But is this enough?

1381
01:27:33,090 --> 01:27:35,621
The scheme we have is the correct one.

1382
01:27:35,654 --> 01:27:39,674
Concluding in fixing our gaze
on repressive bodies.

1383
01:27:39,806 --> 01:27:43,510
But aren't they the police?
and the courts only part

1384
01:27:43,535 --> 01:27:47,050
of a large state apparatus,
that since the 19th century,

1385
01:27:47,180 --> 01:27:51,272
especially since the war,
gets more and more involved

1386
01:27:51,333 --> 01:27:53,753
in the control of the private,

1387
01:27:53,875 --> 01:27:59,521
using a wide range of agencies
social to invade private space?

1388
01:27:59,838 --> 01:28:04,302
Is it not true that the State has
accelerated your project of classifying,

1389
01:28:04,349 --> 01:28:08,989
organize and define what
is public and what is private?

1390
01:28:19,488 --> 01:28:22,483
Here while capitalism has advanced,

1391
01:28:22,508 --> 01:28:26,277
seems to promote a lot of variety
in individual responses,

1392
01:28:26,302 --> 01:28:30,007
to the social organization,
through consumerism,

1393
01:28:30,373 --> 01:28:33,134
the fun and the
destruction of the family.

1394
01:28:33,338 --> 01:28:36,962
At the same time it benefits
to the State to reorganize

1395
01:28:37,015 --> 01:28:41,768
those various individual responses
including sexual expression.

1396
01:28:42,436 --> 01:28:46,724
To form an "appearance
of the social order".

1397
01:28:47,332 --> 01:28:50,790
Private life becomes
thus increasingly in the object of

1398
01:28:50,837 --> 01:28:55,154
the sophisticated surveillance of
State social agencies,

1399
01:28:55,201 --> 01:29:00,476
of their tax processes,
and its insurance programs.

1400
01:29:00,948 --> 01:29:05,688
Is it not true that sexual activity
in the bathrooms it is a threat,

1401
01:29:05,861 --> 01:29:08,724
because it is an anonymous and public activity,

1402
01:29:08,749 --> 01:29:13,041
and to monitor it you can only
use the crudest and most repressive means?

1403
01:29:14,321 --> 01:29:17,941
The subtlest means of
state control no longer works

1404
01:29:18,445 --> 01:29:24,107
the heavy hand of the law must be used
to mend the social fabric...

1405
01:29:35,156 --> 01:29:39,443
Friends, maybe we have failed

1406
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,719
because although you are
solutions are important

1407
01:29:42,935 --> 01:29:46,720
They are just a first step in
regarding state control

1408
01:29:46,805 --> 01:29:49,071
of our social and sexual realities.

1409
01:29:49,926 --> 01:29:53,819
Sex in the urinals...
Those huge metaphors

1410
01:29:53,967 --> 01:29:57,514
are a concrete example
of the battle that awaits us

1411
01:29:58,483 --> 01:30:03,953
that is, the battle to emancipate ourselves
all as sexual subjects...

1412
01:30:10,204 --> 01:30:16,698
THE UPPER BATHROOM

1413
01:30:43,673 --> 01:30:45,112
What's happening?

1414
01:30:45,852 --> 01:30:47,188
Dorian!

1415
01:30:47,677 --> 01:30:49,792
Why didn't you tell us?

1416
01:30:52,211 --> 01:30:53,797
He's crazy.

1417
01:30:55,746 --> 01:30:57,712
You can't kill your secret.

1418
01:30:59,153 --> 01:31:00,960
We better go.

1419
01:31:02,066 --> 01:31:06,126
No!

1420
01:31:18,682 --> 01:31:19,914
Oh, Florence!

1421
01:31:21,414 --> 01:31:23,467
What is he doing?

1422
01:31:27,657 --> 01:31:29,644
Step aside,
please.

1423
01:31:58,030 --> 01:32:05,640
JUNE 28, 1937

1424
01:32:19,987 --> 01:32:21,463
Well, I had a great time.

1425
01:32:21,488 --> 01:32:23,534
It was a pleasure to meet you
both of you, Miss Loring.

1426
01:32:23,576 --> 01:32:24,695
Miss Wyle.

1427
01:32:25,113 --> 01:32:27,924
Oh I hope everyone
come back soon.

1428
01:32:29,232 --> 01:32:31,785
Maybe next time,
Frida, can you paint my portrait.

1429
01:32:32,293 --> 01:32:36,293
Oh shit! From now on
I will dedicate myself to self-portrait.

1430
01:32:41,380 --> 01:32:43,554
Maybe we can figure this out.

1431
01:32:44,198 --> 01:32:46,453
Dorian worked for the police.

1432
01:32:46,780 --> 01:32:48,515
Maybe he was the one who brought us here,

1433
01:32:48,540 --> 01:32:49,900
who wrote the letters.

1434
01:32:51,294 --> 01:32:52,494
But I don't understand it.

1435
01:32:52,900 --> 01:32:56,413
Normally the police want
infiltrate groups that are still alive.

1436
01:32:59,190 --> 01:33:04,650
I just wish I hadn't let that one
horrible Dorian will enter our house.

1437
01:33:04,715 --> 01:33:07,183
But he had no choice,
Miss Wyle.

1438
01:33:08,992 --> 01:33:10,713
Don't worry.

1439
01:33:10,913 --> 01:33:12,781
I'm not really here.

1440
01:33:13,282 --> 01:33:15,342
I am just an image.

1441
01:33:16,106 --> 01:33:17,978
But they shouldn't be so depressed.

1442
01:33:19,033 --> 01:33:20,537
Having failed.

1443
01:33:21,173 --> 01:33:25,173
Maybe they expected the kind of success that
appears in the newspaper headlines.

1444
01:33:25,847 --> 01:33:28,471
"Parliament repeals the
laws against homosexuals."

1445
01:33:28,706 --> 01:33:31,794
"Broad police reforms
establish that discrimination

1446
01:33:31,820 --> 01:33:34,131
against homosexuals
is prohibited."

1447
01:33:35,113 --> 01:33:37,157
It's not about that.

1448
01:33:37,837 --> 01:33:41,385
Well, really, Dorian. I think
You have some explaining to do.

1449
01:33:42,106 --> 01:33:44,254
Who are you?
Are you one of the police?

1450
01:33:44,486 --> 01:33:46,562
Or are you one of us?
Who are you?

1451
01:33:47,239 --> 01:33:49,589
Do I look like a police officer?

1452
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,754
I refused to read my
biography the other night

1453
01:33:55,807 --> 01:33:58,527
because it says a lot
lies about my life.

1454
01:33:59,273 --> 01:34:03,273
He says my terrible
secret is my design.

1455
01:34:03,745 --> 01:34:05,536
It's the wrong story.

1456
01:34:06,019 --> 01:34:08,903
And it's a bad payment
or an unfair price.

1457
01:34:09,384 --> 01:34:12,564
But there is still some
truth in what Oscar wrote.

1458
01:34:13,118 --> 01:34:14,672
I'll read you some.

1459
01:34:15,365 --> 01:34:20,560
"...Vice and virtue are the
artist's materials for his art..."

1460
01:34:21,365 --> 01:34:24,949
"...All art is on the surface
of one and in the symbols..."

1461
01:34:25,652 --> 01:34:28,816
"...Those who read the symbols
do at your own risk..."

1462
01:34:29,863 --> 01:34:35,309
"...It is to the viewer and not to life,
what art really reflects..."

1463
01:34:36,559 --> 01:34:38,898
But where is your portrait, Dorian?

1464
01:34:39,212 --> 01:34:44,066
It was never my portrait, Frida, nor
hid the secret of my life.

1465
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:49,771
It was a mirror and the police
They were the spectators.

1466
01:34:50,899 --> 01:34:55,316
Your painting became
a police portrait.

1467
01:34:56,253 --> 01:34:59,868
But this is unfair. you can't
just leave us like this.

1468
01:35:00,666 --> 01:35:05,194
Our work is never
finished. It's true.

1469
01:35:06,112 --> 01:35:10,465
For now, you have paid your
debts and I have paid mine.

1470
01:35:12,273 --> 01:35:15,837
And now your taxi is here
to take them to the station.

1471
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,645
Oh shit!

1472
01:35:23,853 --> 01:35:26,225
Oh, have you seen that?

1473
01:35:40,596 --> 01:35:44,166
<i>March 1988: 36 men
They were arrested and charged with

1474
01:35:44,197 --> 01:35:48,196
<i>"indecent acts" in the bathroom of a
Hudson's Bay store in Oshawa

1475
01:35:48,878 --> 01:35:52,298
<i>Video surveillance was used to obtain
tests, and the names of men

1476
01:35:52,323 --> 01:35:55,118
<i>and their addresses were published
in The Oshawa Times.</i>

1477
01:35:55,130 --> 01:35:59,595
<i>Gay activists try to help
men to fight the charges.</i>

1478
01:35:59,620 --> 01:36:03,668
<i>There is an unconfirmed report that one
of men have committed suicide...</i>
