Title A name given to the resource Harold Desmarais (1944- ) Description An account of the resource Harold Desmarais has been an active community organizer in Ontario since 1970, taking a leading role in numerous organizations, starting with Windsor Gay Unity (1972 - 1980). He was one of the founders of the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario in 1975 (and their first paid employee in 1980) and started University of Windsor's Gay Students on Campus in 1978. Harold lives his life proudly and openly. In the early 1970's, he endured years of homophobic harassment at his job in an auto assembly plant in Windsor after speaking publicly about the discriminatory nature of Canada's immigration policy. In 1980 Harold moved to Toronto. For five years he was dedicated to eliminating the world of gay shame and guilt as Sister Atrociata von Tasteless - a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Harold was also secretary for the Gay Community Dance Committee from 1982 - 1994, and served as Master of Ceremonies for Lesbian and Gay Pride Day from 1986 - 1989. He was active for almost 20 years in the Lesbian and Gay Community Appeal - fundraising, performing outreach, and selecting projects to be funded. He received the Appeal's prestigious Outstanding Community Achievement and the Outstanding Volunteer Service Awards. But his most memorable, and public, service to the Appeal was as one of the "fruits" featured in the Appeal's successful fundraising shows - "Fruit Cocktail". The Fruits became an icon for Toronto's burgeoning gay and lesbian community in the 1980's, and still attend Pride activities every June. The 1990's saw Harold involved as an active board member and volunteer for both the AIDS Committee of Toronto and the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. He's helped other groups like the 519 Community Centre and the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives with their fundraising and outreach efforts. With over 30 years of community organizing and political action under his belt, Harold richly deserves a place in the Archives National Portrait Collection. (2003 Induction Statement) Harold Desmarais est un organisateur communautaire en Ontario depuis 1970. Il a joué un rôle de leader au sein de plusieurs organismes, en commençant par Windsor Gay Unity (1972-1980). Il fut un des fondateurs de la Coalition ontarienne pour les droits des gais et des lesbiennes en 1975 (et son premier employé rémunéré en 1980); il a aussi lancé le groupe des étudiants gais sur le campus de l'Université de Windsor en 1978. Harold mène une vie ouverte avec fierté. Au début des années 1970, il a subi le harcèlement et l'homophobie au travail, sur la chaîne de montage des automobiles à Windsor, parce qu'il avait ouvertement dénoncé les politiques d'immigration discriminatoires du Canada. En 1980, Harold s'établit à Toronto. Pendant cinq ans il se voue à enrayer le climat de honte et de culpabilité en tant que Sœur Atrociata von Tasteless, une Religieuse de la Perpétuelle Indulgence. De 1982 à 1994, Harold est aussi secrétaire du comité des danses gaies communautaires et il agit comme maître de cérémonies de la Journée de fierté gaie et lesbienne, de 1986 à 1989. Pendant près de vingt ans, il est actif au sein du groupe Lesbian and Gay Community Appeal (LGCA) : campagne de financement, promotion et évaluation des projets à soutenir. LGCA lui a décerné deux prestigieuses récompenses : le Prix d'Engagement communautaire par excellence et le Prix de Bénévolat par excellence. Sa contribution la plus mémorable et publique au sein de LGCA fut en tant qu'un des « fruits » du spectacle-bénéfice Fruit Cocktail. Ces Fruits, devenus une icône de la communauté gaie et lesbienne en pleine effervescence durant les années 1980, participent encore aux festivités de la Fierté gaie en juin. Durant les années 1990, Harold est un bénévole engagé et un membre actif du conseil d'administration du AIDS Committee of Toronto et de la Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. Il appuie d'autres groupes tels que le centre communautaire The 519 et les Archives gaies et lesbiennes du Canada dans leurs efforts de financement et de rayonnement. Avec plus de trente ans d'organisation communautaire et d'action politique à son actif, Harold mérite une place de choix dans la Galerie nationale de portraits des Archives.
