Abstract
This article begins with a reflection on a queer reading at Knife Fork Book in Toronto where an inter-generational moment, for me, went blank. It then recounts a few personal notes concerning the history of the gay bars of the 1970s. I also reflect on what the winning of gay rights has led us to, as observed by an older gay once designated an outlaw. Where is the locale of memory when architectural erasure has demolished the sites of our history and struggle? Can a recounting of gay historical events of the 1970s and early 1980s provide a sense of both the oppression and the vice arrests by the Metropolitan Toronto police force? These events ignited and gathered a gay rebellion to form a community with rights and a standing in law.
