Longtime queer rights activist Gary Kinsman resigned from Toronto Pride in April 2024 over their refusal to adequately address the genocide in Gaza. While telling his story to host Jessa McLean, Gary also provides a history of Pride, and its transition from a grassroots march to a corporately structured and funded cultural event. Together with host Jessa McLean, they talk about the cost of that corporate funding, the event's continued collaboration with Police and how the Queer fight for liberation is tied to the liberation of all peoples, including that of Palestinians. __________________All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

For decades, Canada attempted to purge queer people out of the public service and the military. We look into why it all started during the Cold War, what the fear of the Soviet Union had to do with it and how the invention of a homosexuality test nicknamed “The Fruit Machine” was supposed to aid in the RCMP's investigations. Spoiler alert — it didn't work. With guest Gary Kinsman. *Warning, strong language and content. To learn more about this episode visit: www.cbc.ca/radio/secretlifeofcanada

It began as a mysterious disease from a far off place. It turned into the deadliest plague humanity has faced since the Black Death. AIDS has ravaged and reshaped us in so many ways. But in Canada, the battle against AIDS wasn’t just a fight against a virus. It was a fight against a system that didn’t care if some people lived or died.

Fizzy bubbles in a very non-medicinal ice cream float. This month we're flashing back to the 1950s and peeking behind the picket fence stereotype. With Valentine's Day approaching, we're talking love, romance, gender roles, and how all these things shook out in post-war Canada. In fashion, Torey's preparing for date night by trying to emulate some classic '50s hairdos. There are complications. In food, we're making ice cream floats (or "sodas," as some folks apparently say). Steph's got all the details on the history of this former medicine, and she's also outdone herself with a dizzying array of replicas. Steph is obsessed with: Very well-funded BBC documentaries and very fun-to-watch NFB films Torey is obsessed with: the Toronto Public Library's new streaming service provider, Kanopy, and its array of documentaries. Anita: Speaking Truth to Power is looking especially relevant. Thanks for listening!
