253 - Before Pride, there was a kiss ... In February 1976, two gay activists were arrested at the corner of Yonge and Bloor Streets in Toronto for kissing each other. They were charged with indecency and later convicted. In response, gay organizations staged a “kiss-in” at the same intersection to make the point that expressing affection between men was not an indecent act.

David Foreman: Born in Preston, Ont., the son of a Pentecostal preacher, he came to Toronto in the late 1970s. He studied at the University of Alberta and Carleton University. Foreman has been a member of the Communist Party of Canada since moving to Toronto, and was a member of the Gay Alliance Toward Equality (GATE) at the time of the kiss-in.

 

Tim McCaskell: He grew up in Beaverton, Ont., and first came to Toronto in 1970 at the age of 20. McCaskell holds a master’s in sociology of race relations and worked for 20 years at the Toronto public school board on equity policy.

 

Ed Jackson: He grew up in New Brunswick and came to Toronto to attend graduate school in English at the University of Toronto in the ’70s. Jackson was an editor and writer for the Body Politic at the time of the kiss-in. He is one of the founders of the AIDS Committee of Toronto and just retired from the Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange.

 

Merv Walker: At the time of the kiss-in, he was working for the Body Politic as an office administrator and graphic designer. Walker came to Toronto in 1971 from Kamsack, Sask., to attend U of T. He now works as a graphic designer and lives with his partner in Burlington.

 

David Gibson: Gibson volunteered as a graphic designer at the Body Politic. He now lives and works in New York. According to an online biography, Gibson studied architecture at Cornell University, went to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and received a master’s in fine art from Yale University in graphic design.

 

Michael Riordon: He wrote a regular column for the Body Politic. Riordon is now a writer and documentary filmmaker living in Prince Edward County.

 

Gerald Hannon (not pictured): Hannon, who took the kiss-in photo, worked as a writer and photographer for the Body Politic for 15 years, from 1972 to 1987. He came to Toronto from Marathon, Ont., to go to school at U of T. Hannon taught journalism at Ryerson and now sits on the board of Pink Triangle Press.

On November 25, 1995, the Toronto Sun ran an exposé on Hannon's occasional prostitution under the headline "Ryerson Prof: I'm a Hooker". Hannon acknowledged that he occasionally worked as a prostitute.[3][14]

 

Ryerson suspended Hannon on November 26.[15] The following day, the Canadian Union of Public Employees filed a grievance on Hannon's behalf, asserting that there were no grounds for a disciplinary enquiry since no staff or student of the university had complained about any inappropriate behaviour on Hannon's part. Ryerson reinstated Hannon for the winter semester and placed a letter of reprimand in his file, but did not renew his contract at the end of the school year.[16] He has not taught at Ryerson since.
