March 15, 2008, excerpt original published in Southern
Voice by Ryan Lee With mainstream society committed
to using derogatory terms for sexual minorities such as “sodomite”
and “queer,” gay people were often compelled to create more
affirming labels, said Kira Hall, an associate professor of linguistics
and anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Kira Hall,
a linguistics professor at the University of Colorado, said creating and
finding comfortable labels is a common experience among marginalized groups.

“What historical linguistics shows is that any time you have a term associated with a marginalized group, that term, over time, will take on a negative connotation because the group itself is marginalized and seen in a negative way,” Hall said.
The “semantic pejoration” of terms that describe people with same-sex attractions fuels a cycle where people are constantly looking for a safe, validating label,she added. Many people assume the evolution of language ended when the term “gay” gained colloquial currency in the middle of the last century. “‘Gay’ is only like 30-40 years old, so in terms of it being a socially collective term, it’s not that old,” said Cleo Manago, who is credited with developing the “same-gender loving” term and identity for black people in the early 1990s.
English philosopher Jeremy Bentham was one of the first advocates to link the mobilization of homosexuals with the creation of an affirming label for that previously unconnected group of people. “It is by the power of names, of signs originally arbitrary and insignificant, that the course of the imagination has in great measure been guided,” Bentham wrote in 1814, according to “Toward Stonewall,” by University of Virginia history professor Nicholas Edsall.
At least a half-dozen terms, most of them pejorative slang, were popularly used to describe people with same-sex desires before the 20th century: pederasts, buggeries, fairies, and sodomites for men, tribades and Sapphos for women. The term homosexual became vogue during the latter half of the 1800s, and was embraced by many interested in establishing an identity beyond their sexual acts, according to Edsall.
“The sodomite, in short, was defined by what he did,” Edsall wrote. “The homosexual, on the other hand, is defined by his sexual orientation, by what he is and not by what he does.” Atlanta resident Ron Floda, 52, remembers when homosexual competed with queer as the term du jour to describe people with same-sex desires. Floda recalled feeling the relief and excitement when people began referring to themselves as gay. “I prefer ‘gay,’ it’s more comfortable and not as negative as some of the other words used to be,” Floda said.
Media outlets often strive to use terms that are most acceptable to minority groups, and since 1977, the Associated Press style book — the industry gold standard — has recommended using “gay” instead of “homosexual.” One of the last remaining holdouts in the media was the Washington Times, a conservative newspaper that used outdated terms when writing about the “homosexual” agenda. In a move lauded by gay media watchdogs, the new editor of the Washington Times, Wes Pruden, recently instructed his staff to begin using gay instead of homosexual, and to no longer use derisive quotation marks when referring to gay marriage.
The AP Style Book notes that “gay” can be used for both men and women, but “lesbian” is the preferred label for homosexual females. “When you have a marginalized group, it needs a label that is not a pejorative label, the first aspect is to get a label that sort of canvasses over everyone,” said Hall, the linguistic professor. “As that group becomes less marginalized and more visible, people begin to realize there’s a lot of divisions within that larger group. There’s diversity within ‘gay,’ and that requires new terms.”
Steven Emmanuel used to identify as same-gender loving to avoid the connotations that accompany gay, until he felt restricted by that label as well.
“It wasn’t very inclusive of me because I’m not same-gender loving — I love men, women, transgender,” said Emmanuel, author of the “Queer Kid of Color” blog. Emmanuel settled on the label queer because he believed “it’s something that embraces the full fluidity of sexuality and gender” without the cumbersome LGBTQQ-etc. acronym.
Those initials also continue to evolve, with the familiar LGBT now stretching
to variations that even some gay people may not recognize. Some groups
now refer to LGBTQIQ — with the Qs standing for “queer”
and “questioning” and the I meaning “intersexed”
— while others add A for “allies” or other combinations.
“There’s so many different labels that mean so many different
things — it’s dividing within a community that has already
been divided,” Emmanuel said.
Monday March 10, 2008 Inside Story Toronto. Pride Toronto shows how ridiculous gay labelling has become, a couple of years ago when they made it almost mandatory for Toronto Press to refer to Pride Toronto as a LBTTIQQ2S* communities event. ( * Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, 2 Spirited)
Pride Toronto Mission Statement - Pride Toronto exists to celebrate the history, courage, diversity and future of Toronto's LGBTTIQQ2S* communities.
Thankfully the LGBTTIQQ2S community in west central Toronto Ontario, simply call their annual celebration "Queer West Fest" and refer to themselves as queers. A simple, clear and concise welcoming message for everyone. Pride Toronto organizers and fans should definitely watch this video clip by comedian and lighten up.Susan Norfleet. ~ Don Quixote - Inside Story news and entertainment editor
Friday February 29, 2008. Researchers at the University of Alberta have made a breakthrough with the discovery of a gene that might block the spread of HIV and the onset of AIDS. The hope is that the discovery could lead to a vaccine that would combat the deadly virus. Lead researcher Steven Barr said the gene, known as TRIM22, has a natural anti-viral defence function and has the ability to block HIV. Though the research is admittedly in its infancy, Barr said the goal now is to study how the gene works in hopes to mimic its ability to combat the virus.
"It's exciting because it's a natural defence against HIV. So if we can harness this without the toxic effect of drugs it's going to be beneficial for HIV patients in the future," Barr told CTV's Canada AM on Friday. Barr and his team worked with scientists at the University of Pennsylvania to discover the gene and identify its role. TRIM22 works like hundreds of other genes in the human body to fight viruses, but is especially well suited to defending against HIV. The researchers' lab tests have shown that when TRIM22 is triggered in cell cultures that have HIV, it blocks the virus from assembling and locks it in the cell, preventing it from spreading.
How it works:
Interferons are proteins produced by human cells to turn on the anti-viral defence, when needed to protect against a virus threat. Mysteriously, the interferons' response does not seem to function properly in patients who have the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. TRIM22, Barr's team has discovered, is one of hundreds of genes that is triggered by those interferons to act defensively against viruses, and especially against HIV -- but not in patients who have the virus. The discovery shows for the first time that the human body has a gene that is capable of fighting HIV, giving new hope for a treatment breakthrough. "We would want to try and mimic the antiviral effect of TRIM22, we can do this by either drugs or vaccine or find ways to turn this thing on in HIV patients when in fact it's not on," Barr said
He cautioned the discovery is not a cure, and suggested it could take 10 years before the findings result in treatment options. But the discovery is a step towards finding a cure, and provides hopes to those living with the devastating effects of HIV and AIDS.
"You have to make these small little discoveries so it paves the
way for bigger developments," Barr said. He added: "The more
information we can gather the sooner we can get to these drugs or vaccines."

Monday February 25, 2008 Toronto Inside Story by
Don Quixote. One and All Welcome at Java Knights Public Forum:
Guest Speakers to Sex Workshops and everything in between
Bryen Dunn, chair Gay West event committee and ACT Toronto (AIDS Committee of Toronto) collaborated in 2006 to initiated a series of monthly community forums to stimulate a needed dialogue amongst west end queers on Issues: ranging from racism, body image, family, how we age, inter-racial coupling, and the important role, that having fun plays in our lives. ACT Toronto has a mandate to make itself heard throughout the greater Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and felt that by aligning with Gay West Community Network, they felt would be an excellant opportunity to perhaps reach a new audience that doesn’t frequent the downtown core regularly. So each Tuesday evening monthly, generally consists of some form of presentation, guest speaker or performance.
"Attending at Java Knights event is a nice opportunity to communicate worthwhile thoughts, in a rather delirious world, that is much in need of a new focus." Dunn Said.

Inside
Story Toronto, Saturday February 9, 2008. Xtra publisher Pink
Triangle Press has signed a deal to buy fab, Toronto's bi-weekly gay lifestyle
and entertainment mag (fab
magazine.) The deal (no price tag disclosed) closes on Feb.
25. The March 6 issue of Fab will be the first edition published under
the auspices of Pink Triangle.
Pink Triangle Press is also publisher of the Ultimate Pride Guides in Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa, as well as international gay travel mag The Guide. The combined circulation of PTP's print pubs is now 156,000, with a reach of about 275,000 monthly readers. Along with its operations in Internet, television and interactive media, PTP's total reach in the gay community is over half a million.
fab will be overseen by Brandon Matheson, publisher and editor-in-chief of PTP's eastern publishing division, which also produces the Toronto bi-weekly Xtra, owed by Pink Triangle Press, 491 Church Street. Founded in 1971, Pink Triangle Press a not-for-profit corporation, with offices in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver, publishing Capital Xtra, Xtra and Xtra West and operating Xtensions, Cruiseline and Xtra.ca.
fab is a Canadian gay scene magazine, which publishes biweekly in Toronto, Ontario. It publishes alternate weeks to the city's other biweekly gay publication, Xtra!. The publication’s official spelling uses a lower-case F: fab.
fab started publishing in June, 1994. In 1996, fab also launched a national edition, known as FAB National to distinguish itself from the local Toronto publication. The national magazine struggled to build an audience, and was sold in 1998; its new owners ceased publication of the magazine within a few months.
Described as a "gay scene magazine", fab covers popular Toronto gay culture, including music and clubbing. Feature articles are usually news-related and deal with literature, AIDS, real estate, music, and other current-affairs topics. Photo spreads are common, and fab covers typically feature a young male model, often without a shirt.
The magazine had several editors prior to 1998, when John Kennedy took over. In the next four years, he increased readership and advertising revenues. After 100 issues, Kennedy was replaced by Mitchel Raphael in 2002; Raphael left the magazine in January of 2006 and was replaced by Steven Bereznai. In April 2007, Bereznai stepped down as editor-in-chief of the magazine, to write a book. He has since been replaced by Paul Gallant, Xtra's former managing editor.
Gallant, the editor-in-chief of fab, sounded a note of caution about PTP controlling both publications."I'm obviously concerned that they might want to turn it into Xtra Lite," he told Krishna Rau ( Xtra reporter) on Friday February 8 during an interview. "I think it should be a bit of a red flag for people who are concerned about media concentration."
Pink Triangle Press began, in fact if not in name, in October 1971, when a small group of people in Toronto got together to publish a gay paper. They set themselves up as a collective, volunteers sharing work and operating without a formal hierarchy. The paper they produced was The Body Politic, a journal of gay liberation news and opinion.
The Body Politic was entirely volunteer-run until 1973, when some collective members began being paid as staff. But volunteers, hundreds of them over the years, remained The Body Politic's true human base. The collective also remained the paper's governing body.
Pink Triangle Press was incorporated in 1975 to give TBP formal existence as a not-for-profit company. The name was taken from the pink triangle used to identify gay inmates of Nazi concentration camps, an indication of the Press's interest in history and its commitment to gay resistance.
For another toonie, Pink Triangle press could have bought Fresh magazine which as all but disappeared from streets of Toronto traditional gay neighbourhood around Church and Wellesley after two issues.
I am not sure what has happen to aBout Magazine, has it to disappear? The last issue I saw was January 2008. The website hasn't been update since last November.
Hopefully this will allow Outlooks, the Calgary based magazine (which is also for sale unfortunately) an opportunity to move more into Toronto, or even have a Toronto edition. And maybe we will see "Capital Fab" and "Fab West" like they do with Xtra.
This is all part and parcel of the demise Toronto's gay village and its bar scene. The advertising dollars just are not there, to support more than one publication. It's sad to see Gay Toronto now dominated by one media mogol with an appetite.
There's nothing new the publishing business, it's the Same old story: buy out the competition, especially if they have been struggling, praise them to high heaven, then amalgamate the staffs and raise the ad rates!
But then there's queer Toronto Inside Story which has been publishing since 1996 and doesn't depend on Pink advertising dollars to survive and is not for sale. ~ D.Q.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - Monday February 11, 2008
Excellent article, Mr. Quixote. I have to wonder if "demise" is too strong a word, or inappropriate, in regards to the state of the gay village and scene. I do believe it's a progression or evolution, of sorts. I don't think it is so much that Village is in a state of demise (considering the Barn just re-opened), but that it's changing with the times. It is a reflection of 'gay life' in Toronto in 2008.
I am certainly well aware, as are you, that there are other parts of the city and certain neighbourhoods that are becoming a more comfortable and livable place for gays than the traditional village.The best publications are the informative ones. fab magazine is rather fluffy and vacuous in my humble opinion.
I appreciate good journalism, and am tired of being inundated with Underwear and ripped Abs ads, and Bathhouse ads. Like people don't KNOW where to go already?? I would not be sad to see fab magazine go, as it doesn't really apply much to someone in my demographic, that's just my age I suppose, now that I am a cantakerous (36 yr.) old fuddyduddy! Anyways, awesome article, Don. Thanks. 12 Years of Toronto Inside Story!!!! YAY!!! Keep it up!

Kinky Montreal media hound takes interest in Toronto's queer neighbourhoods
Inside Story (Queer Toronto) Wednesday February
6, 2008 - Andrea Zanin, otherwise known as the Sex Geek on her
wordpress blog. Describes herself as a gender-fluid queer-kinky-poly gal
living in Montreal, Canada. She was up in the Big Smoke on Tuesday January
29, 2008 and attended a talk given at the Gladstone Hotel, which she says
"seems to be the location of choice for all sorts of interesting
events, many but not all of them queer" (just the kind of ratio I
like.) "This one was part of a monthly series of talks put on by
Java Knights (a queer public forum), and it was a panel discussion entitled
“The Future of Queer Neighbourhoods in Toronto.”
Zarin: "It started at 7pm, so I walked in around 7:15, fully expecting to be one of the first people to arrive. Not so. The place was packed and I found myself sitting in the hallway so as not to rudely interrupt the goings-on by walking in partway through. This was my first lesson in Toronto event etiquette: these folks start shit on time. Yikes! None of that lackadaisical “Montreal time” stuff, where people show up whenever they please and things get started when the room feels full enough. Duly noted!"
Zarin: "Dr. Catherine Nash, a queer geography professor from Brock University (who was in the audience, rather than on the panel, and oddly enough, whose name I caught but whose face I did not), had some of the night’s most interesting stuff to say. She kicked off her comments by talking about the “slippage between the terms ‘gay and lesbian’ and ‘queer’”, and how this indicates a parallel “slippage in politics that is reflected in the development of new queer areas.” Her point was that of course the nature of community residential and business space will change as the community itself changes. Among other things she mused about her own position on the board of directors for a queer neighbourhood association.
[Editor's comments:] There is some interesting comments from readers at the end of Zarin's article. One from Michael Paré, one of the guest panelists, who said: "I would have like to have seen more business types from the traditional village at Church and Wellesley, just about every big name person and community leaders was invited, with connections to Church and Wellesley, but they all refused to be on the panel. Go figure?"
