For further reading on this subject matter, you might want to read Rick Bebout’s Promiscuous Affections, The Canadian War on Queers by Patrizia Gentile and Gary Kinsman. For more on settler colonialism and the policing of sexuality, Scott L. Morgensen’s Spaces Between Us: Queer Settler Colonialism and Indigenous Decolonization is a good read.
Interviews such as the one with Don Franco are available through the Foolscap Project at the Arquives, which also has many of the tabloid newspapers used for this story. And, for anyone who wishes to learn more about the history of drinking in Canada, we highly recommend Booze: A Distilled History by Craig Heron, who we also want to thank for his tremendous help with this project. It would never have happened without his support.
This podcast also could not have been produced without funding from the Toronto Arts Council, who helped fund the efforts of Tom Hooper, narrator, Scott MacDougall, voice actor, Christine Sismondo, writer and co-producer and Brent Bodrug, sound design, music composer and co-producer.
