My investigation into @PrideToronto is ready. $1,850,000 Misdirection of Funds and Settler Colonialism: Pride Toronto Grants from @CdnHeritage Download the PDF: documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri…
Prof Tom Hooper @YorkULAPS, a historian of the Toronto #bathhouse raids explains: “There were actually a series of raids, but they’re well known for this mass raid... in which 200 police officers raided four gay bathhouses all at once.” bit.ly/3XuiURV via @nowtoronto
In honour of #Pride 2023, Queer & Now highlighted a piece of Queer Canadian history. We spoke with @ChanelleGallant , @thomashooper & @roseyknees about the Toronto bathhouse raids, and were reminded why we will always need Pride 🏳️🌈🫶🏼 nowtoronto.com/culture/when-w…
Why is @PrideToronto playing an active role in supporting Anthony Bass? They are totally disconnected from our communities.

Despite @PrideToronto fraud and forgery, the Trudeau government is giving them more money. "There's been no transparency and accountability for this, so they shouldn't receive another penny of government funds" cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
"Until the government listens to sex workers, the historic harms of bawdy house laws will continue to be reproduced in legislation today." Read @maggie_ross95's essay. activehistory.ca/2023/04/canadi…
Sex workers charged with bawdy-house offences remain excluded from accessing the expungement process, say a group of gay and lesbian historians, including @YorkULAPS Prof Tom Hooper, who study the criminalization of queer communities. yhoo.it/42kTAjk via @YahooNews
Back in 2018 I joined gay and lesbian historians Steven Maynard, Gary Kinsman, and Patrizia Gentile in demanding changes to the expungement bill. Our latest update:

A former employee has made a human rights complaint against Pride Toronto. Settler colonialism, anti-Black racism, transphobia, misappropriation, fraud, forgery: the rot in @PrideToronto runs deep. instagram.com/p/CpfmjqNMJRi/…
We would be so happy to have more support from people and organizations like @enchantenetwork @egalecanada @LGBTfdn @CQLGBT around this, especially those that have the ear of @liberal_party
Equity studies Prof Tom Hooper @YorkULAPS says it is a standard practice among police officers to include allegations of prostitution in arrest documents after raids targeting bawdy houses. bit.ly/3l4aAcU via @TorontoStar
This change does NOTHING. By excluding sex workers, the Liberal government has excluded everyone arrested in the bath raids from qualifying for a record expungement Without evidence, police alleged sex work during the bath raids. Here is one of the arrest records:
We're erasing criminal records for "indecency" and abortion. The LGBTQ people & women who fought the first fights deserve justice. Because being who you are should never have been a crime. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Now it's time for Q&A. @thomashooper asks "I've been asking qs about fraud and forgery in federal grants...the review did not look at fraud and forgery." You can check pridegrants.ca "You received another grant of $1mm.....fraud and forgery have not been addressed." 31/
Pride Toronto didn't answer questions to members last night, and they aren't answering to media. This is what a cover up looks like. The current leadership has failed our communities. @PrideToronto @FedDevOntario
Pride Toronto is alleged to have forged at least one signature on a grant application and lied about a partnership with renowned Indigenous artist Kent Monkman. This is not the first time the non-profit organization has come under fire in recent history. xtramagazine.com/culture/pride-…
At the @PrideToronto Q and A with the ED last night there was no response to the new document that @thomashooper got released. So there was no actual response to this question. This is a major problem.
Pride Toronto exploited Cree artist Kent Monkman's name on yet another federal grant. This $1 million FedDevOntario grant was not included in Pride Toronto's apology and KPMG review earlier this year. How is @PrideToronto going to be accountable for this cover up? @NoPolicing
Every @PrideToronto members meeting is open to the public but this upcoming Q&A with Sherwin Modeste is being held behind closed doors. The community must demand a public meeting so Pride Toronto can be held accountable for fraud, forgery, and misappropriation of federal grants.
