I came of age in the 1960s and '70s, an era when most of those character traits and activities would have been seen as illegal at worst and shameless at best. Some still are. Others -- gay marriage, for example -- have switched sides, transitioning from what many people thought of as an unthinkable and illegal travesty to a ritual celebrated in a growing number of jurisdictions, Canada included.' When 18-year-old Gerald Hannon left his small pulp mill community in Marathon, Ontario to attend the University of Toronto, he never would have predicted he'd become part of LGBTQ+ history. Almost sixty years later, he reflects on the major moments in his career as a journalist and LGBTQ+ activist. From the charges of transmitting immoral, indecent, and scurrilous literature laid against him and his colleagues at The Body Politic to his dismissal from his teaching post at Ryerson University for being a sex worker, this memoir candidly chronicles Hannon's life as an unrepentant sex radical."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Hannon, Gerald, $d 1944-2022. 650 0 $a Gay activists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay journalists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Journalists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sex workers $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay men $z Canada $v Biography. 650 6 $a Activistes homosexuels $z Canada $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Journalistes homosexuels $z Canada $v Biographies. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Editors, Journalists, Publishers. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / LGBT. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Social Activists. $2 bisacsh 655 2 $a Autobiography 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hannon, Gerald, 1944- $t Immoral, indecent & scurrilous. $d Toronto : Cormorant Books, 2022 $z 9781770866034 $z 9781770866034 $w (OCoLC)1310268269 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012611.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7306DD496FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
