Description
An account of the resource
Punam Khosla was the coordinator of the Desh Pardesh festival from the second festival in 1991 to 1993. She headed the festival with clear political goals, which often clashed with other organizers of the event but she was not willing to compromise the vision of Desh Pardesh. She discusses the immense amount of misogyny and homophobia she encountered, which were a couple of the principle reasons of her departure. She also touches on her work prior to Desh and the resentment she felt towards her in these spaces as well.

Description
An account of the resource
Paramjit Rai was a volunteer and co-coordinator at Desh Pardesh for a number of years. She discusses her experience as a social policy worker and academic at the festival and how this role of “outsider” informed her perspective on the festival. She also discusses race politics and identity formation both in the Toronto political climate and specifically within the Desh Pardesh festival. Rai goes on to conclude that a Desh festival could recur in the modern day, but for it to happen there needs to be an urgency, a need for something by the modern youth.

Description
An account of the resource
The Foolscap Oral History Project, also known as the Toronto Gay History Project, was undertaken by John Grube and Ed Jackson in order to collect and preserve histories of everyday gay life and social culture in Toronto. The project produced a collection of 42 interviews on 52 cassette tapes that provide a rich picture of the lives and histories of men in Grube and Jackson's social circle.
Interviews took place from 1981-1987, and cover gay life in Toronto from the 1940s until that time. Topics include the men's early life, coming out, relationships, friendships, sex lives, careers, military service, community organizing, political actions, religion, bar culture, and experiences with psychiatry.
The tapes and transcripts comprising the Foolscap Project were donated to the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives in 2016, and are currently being processed by the LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory.

Description
An account of the resource
Don Franco, in his 60s at time of interview, discusses his youth, family and premature exit from school to enter the workforce. Don Franco attended Victoria College at UofT at the time of World War II, but was refused entry into the Air Force due to ‘psychological troubles’. In this interview, Franco recounts his experience seeing a psychiatrist due to his gay desires, and ‘emotional instability’. Later working as a teacher, Franco also discusses sublimating his sexuality into his work. Franco was associated with various important political organizations (including the CCF, NDP and CCYM) and important political figures. The interview also covers Franco’s interest in and experiences with S&M culture, and various encounters with the police as a result of this interest. His activism for the gay and S&M communities led to his arrest in the first Barracks raid, and his house later being raided on June 6th, 1979 (having been accused of being a ‘bawdy house’). Franco expressed his gratitude that the superintendent of the school board assured him he would not lose his job after these arrests, and for receiving financial support from other members of the community to assist with legal fees. Franco’s also discusses experiences with a manic depressive lover, and the subsequent depression he fell into. Franco contrasts the differences between S&M subculture and ‘Woodshed’ scene, particularly discussing ‘Woodshed Magazine’ and the prevalence of drag in the Woodshed scene.

An account of the resource
The Foolscap Oral History Project, also known as the Toronto Gay History Project, was undertaken by John Grube and Ed Jackson in order to collect and preserve histories of everyday gay life and social culture in Toronto. The project produced a collection of 42 interviews on 52 cassette tapes that provide a rich picture of the lives and histories of men in Grube and Jackson's social circle.
Interviews took place from 1981-1987, and cover gay life in Toronto from the 1940s until that time. Topics include the men's early life, coming out, relationships, friendships, sex lives, careers, military service, community organizing, political actions, religion, bar culture, and experiences with psychiatry.
The tapes and transcripts comprising the Foolscap Project were donated to the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives in 2016, and are currently being processed by the LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory.

Description
An account of the resource
In this oral history interview George Hislop, 59 years old, discusses growing up gay in Toronto from the 1930 until the 1980s. He describes his early life, first homosexual experiences, coming out, education, participation in the Toronto gay scene, and his later activism and involvement in politics. The interview follows a linear time, tracing the evolution of the Toronto gay scene since the 1940s. It details the different ways in which gay men socialized and organized through time, highlighting the particular turning points in the Canadian context, instead of arguing for a pre- and post-Stonewall narrative. He describes the formation of groups such as U of T’s homophile association, CHAT, Toronto Gay Action Group, GATE, The Body Politic, among others. He also describes the tensions between older and younger generations of gay men involved in activist organizations and the gay liberation movement. The interview also covers the relationship among gay and lesbians organizing, feminist and left activism in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as cruising in parks and theatres, gay bar culture in the city, private parties, and other forms of socializing.
