温德尔的LGBTQ+历史谁在拯救？
中文翻译：温德尔（Windsor）是加拿大最知名的城市，也是加拿大的自豪首都。它位于德州、密歇根和人们经常与它的历史典故联系在一起的地方。它正在蓬勃发展，跨越了文化界并充满活力。但除了那些描绘了早期移民、拓荒者以及塑造LGBTQ+人群生活的宏大叙事之外，加拿大这里还有一些人致力于将这些故事从被遗忘中拯救出来。
Original English
Windsor, Ontario, is best known as Canada's autonomous capital and its southern most city. It's located just across from Detroit, Michigan, and people here often associate it with its historic distilleries. It's rum running lore, it's cross-border culture and its vibrant waterfront. But beyond those images lies a rich queer history filled with firsts, trailblazers, and stories that shaped the lives of LGBTQ+ people. Here in Canada. We're going to meet up with someone who's made it their mission to keep those stories from fading away.历史叙事的载体与社区
中文翻译：沃尔特·卡西迪（Walter Cassidy）就是你可能会称之为历史布法（history buff）的人。他出生在温德尔，在埃塞克斯郡拉萨迪（Essex County），一位当地的高中教师，他已成为该地区LGBTQ+历史的钥匙人物，并在多年里为重要的LGBTQ+人士创造了重要性。
Original English
Walter Cassidy is what you would call a history buff. Born in Windsor, raised in Essex County, Cassidy, a local high school teacher, has become a key voice in documenting queer history in the area, and over the years, he's created online and in-person tours of important LGBTQ+ sites. Walter, what's so special about this? Neighborhood?社区的第一个聚点
中文翻译：嗯，这是一种“面包和黄油”（sandwich）式的做法。这是温德尔的第一个社区，是温德尔地区的第一个定居区。它一直沿着通往20世纪70年代的路线，即第一个社区。我们就像是第一个法院。有些很奇特的事情发生在这里。
Original English
Well, this is a sandwich town. This is the first community, the first settler area in the Windsor area. And it goes all the way back to the late 1700s, the first community. And we're like the first courthouse. Something pretty iconic happened here. Yes. So in 1842, two soldiers from Fort Malden, which is in Amherstburg, just down that way, were caught having some fun. And they were arrested and put on trial for it. And at that point, the forging of gay sex was a capital offense. And so they were put on trial to be hanged. Luckily, these two soldiers got their sentence commuted. It actually in the new paper even said the day they were going to be hung and the Governor general got involved and, and his secretary wrote a letter to commune their sentence to life imprisonment. So instead of being hung, they were sent to the Kings Town pen.历史的沉淀与遗忘
中文翻译：这在加拿大历史中留下了一个黑暗的篇章。我们搬到了一个曾被视为庆祝和骄傲的地点。西侧的旧住宅运营着一个无许可证的酒吧，在转变为如今被称为J.P.'s之前关闭了1988年，建筑后来被拆除，只留下一个曾经充满生机的空地。
Original English
Leaving a darker chapter in Canada's history behind. We move to ward a place that once stood as a beacon of celebration and pride. The West Side House operated as an unofficial lesbian bar before transforming into the disco known as J.P.'s. It's closed in 1988 and the building was later torn down, leaving only an empty lot where so much life once flourished.空间与记忆的价值
中文翻译：这实际上是目前最重要的空间之一。在很长一段时间里，它曾是第一个公共的LGBTQ+空间，而且这个网络知名度让人们从数百甚至数千英里之外来访问，仅仅为了一个理由。
Original English
This one is actually one of the most important spaces. For the longest time, it was one of the first public gay spaces, and this was an internationally known gay bar that people went from hundreds and hundreds of miles to come and visit for one reason only. What was that? There's a term called the Windsor Ballet.历史的延续与记忆的传承
中文翻译：温德尔芭蕾（Windsor Ballet）意味着去剧院。卡西迪希望无论在哪里建立的地方都能记住这份快乐，因为很多人都曾想忘记它们。人们留下了记忆。我跟许多人谈论了他们在这里生活的爱。第一个Gay酒吧就在这里。就像庆祝一样。我们的老一辈不应该把这些故事视为有价值的，因为我们被教导要隐藏它们。所以有些东西已经消失了。
Original English
If going to the Windsor Ballet meant to go to the strip clubs. Cassidy hopes whatever's built there will acknowledge the joy this place once held. He believes places like this matter because so many were taught to forget them. The memories people have told me. I've talked to so many people who met the love of their lives here. The first gay bar was done here. Like there was so much celebration. Our elders don't see those stories as valuable because they were told not to be open about it. And so there's some stuff that is gone.历史的焦点与正义的争取
中文翻译：我们的下一个步骤是讲述约翰·达米安（John Damian）和他的争取人权的斗争的故事。城市大厅在那里，这个空间实际上是温德尔LGBTQ+历史中第一个为争取LGBTQ+权利而发生的抗议之地。我估计有20到30个人签署了请愿书。在城市大厅那里，这只是在做一项声明。而且它是约翰·达米安支持的一项全国性抗议的一部分。
Original English
Our next step takes us to the story of John Damian and his fight for human rights. City Hall is right there, and this space is actually where the first protest happened for gay rights in Windsor's history. I think 20 to 30 people signed a petition. And with City Hall right there, it was just making a statement. And it was part of a national protest in support of John Damian.约翰·达米安的命运与遗产
中文翻译：谁是约翰·达米安？他实际上在德州受过训练，并成为一名很棒的名字。他最终在做不同的工作。但他的最后一份工作是在他担任一个特务和在货运中，这成为了评估那份工作的指标之一。而在当时，他在安大略省有三个人，而他是其中之一。然后他获得了一个标准差（STD）并去了他的医生那里，后者可能与那个评估委员会有关。他告诉他的医生他如何获得STD的，而他的医生告诉他的老板那是因为他是有性取向且他获得了某些特定的职位，而成为同性恋者会使他变得容易被边缘化。在当时，性取向并不包含在人权法中，而且加拿大的《加拿大权利法案》不存在。所以他去温德尔政府法院起诉了。
Original English
Who is John Damian? So John Damian was a Windsor, right? He actually got trained in Detroit and became a horse jockey and got a pretty good name for himself. He ended up actually doing different jobs. But but then his last job where he was a steward and in horses racing, that was one of the evaluators of the race. And there were three in Ontario, and he was one of them. And then he got an STD and went to his doctor, which would have been connected to the race commission. He told his doctor how he got the STD, and his doctor told his boss that he was gay and he got fired. So his doctor outed him. He outed him absolutely. Accurding to Cassidy, Damian's boss was concerned that Damian's race evaluations would be biased by his sexual attraction to certain jockey's and that being gay would leave him vulnerable to blackmail. At the time, sexual orientation wasn't included in the Human Rights Code, and the Canadian Human Rights Act didn't exist. So he took the Ontario government to court. The court case lasted his whole life. Unfortunately, he died in 86 months. After same hour sexual orientation was put into the Human Rights Code and news papers all over the province, said John Damian finally got his wish.对历史的重新审视与警示
中文翻译：我们的最后一个步骤是挑战我们对建筑历史的看法。当加拿大人想到建筑拆除时，他们可能会想到操作公司（Operation Soap）。在1981年2月5日，托伦多星空（Toronto Star）报道了当时警察在四栋同性恋酒吧进行的大规模搜查，逮捕了数百人并引发了广泛的恐慌。加拿大第一次发生在这里，是在1964年建立Edna's Steam Bath上。
Original English
Our final step challenges what we think we know about the history of bathhouses. When Canadians think of bathhouse raids, they might think of Operation Soap. On February 5th, 1981, the Toronto Star photographed the aftermath when police carried out a series of large-scale raids on four gay bathhouses, arresting hundreds and sparking widespread outrage. The Canada's first happened there in 1964 at a small establishment once known as Edna's Steam Bath.性工作与法律的交织
中文翻译：当时有一条法律，通常用于性工作者，被称为身体住宅（body house）。如果你有某种性癖，那种有钱交易和所以，你可能会因此被指控。这是他们第一次在针对同性恋男性使用它。有趣的是，你知道，你付钱得到了内裤，但那里并没有这种性工作的概念。当时有很多人们只是在那里享受，对吧？是的。那是一种性取向和性工作的一种表现。但在大部分时间里，它是一个让你做自己的地方。而且，随着时间的推移，我理解它是一个更成熟的客户了。
Original English
There was a law that was normally used for sex workers called the body house. And if you had any type of sex acts that had a money exchange and so on, you could be charged for that. And this is the first example where they used it against gay men. What's really interesting to know is, you know, you paid to get in, but there wasn't that concept of sex workers. There was a lot of people who just hung out there, right? Yes. There was an aspect of sexual identity and so on. But for the most part, it was a place to hang out to be yourself. And, and later on the years, I understand it was a much older clientele.空间与社会认知
中文翻译：对于很多人来说，当他们想到建筑拆除时，你知道，有一种负面联想。告诉我一些关于这些、需要的地方的信息，比如这样的地方。嗯，那就是那些人们不理解的巨大问题。因为你知道，我们有这些法律特别在公园里，而且人们会在这里见面并约会和建立关系，而他们正在说，你知道他们正在做什么如果他们在私密地做的话，没人得罪他们，他们正在公开做。但现实是，你仍然会失去你的工作，对吧？所以如果你去酒店和某人，某个人可能会叫警察找你，而且如果你真的去了你拥有一个房子的那种情况，你就赢了。但如果你没做，你可能无法和某人在私人环境中待着，因为他们可能会把你的房子踢出去，所以呢这些空间，人们知道它，但它只是隐藏着。
Original English
For a lot of people when they think of bathhouses, you know, there's so sort of a negative connotation. Talk to me a little bit about the need for places like that. Well, and that's the big thing that people don't understand because, you know, we have these laws that are especially in parks and, and where people would meet and get arranged and they're saying, you know what they're doing if they do it in the privacy, no one deals, they're doing it public. But realistically that you still lose your jobs, right? So if you went to a hotel with someone, someone could call the police on you and you can get arrested if you actually went to your home, if you were in that situation that you owned a home on your own, right. You're lucky in that way. But if you didn't, you couldn't be with someone in a private environment because they could get kicked out of your house and so on. So these spaces, people knew about it, but it was just hidden.历史的认知鸿沟与生存策略
中文翻译：卡西迪想要了解这些被知晓和尊重，有些事情从未发生过的地方。最大的问题是，在这个社区中对这个历史的真正认知还没有。没有一个标记说明我们在这里。人们死于那里，对吧？我们在那个时期面临死亡判决。在艾德斯期间，人们实际上正沿着街道死去，因为他们的事件甚至不能被放入funeral homes。而且所有这些例子中，抵抗和韧性可能会改变。了解这些历史非常重要。所以要了解这个痛苦，但要了解它如何演变成说“好吧，那件事正在发生”，或者“好吧，这很糟糕、难受”。但我们已经走过了它，并且我们有应对它的好技巧，特别是在这个国家。
Original English
Cassidy wants to know these hidden histories acknowledged and respected, something that never happened in this city. The biggest problem for me is there's no actual recognition of this history in this community. There's no marker that says, we were here. People were put to death, right? We're put on trial for death in the AIDS period. People were actually literally dying on the streets because their events even couldn't even be put in funeral homes. And all of those examples, the resistance and the resilience may change. And it's really important to know those histories. So to know that pain, but to know how it overcame to say, okay, that stuff that's happening right now, horrible, bad, nasty. But we, we've gone through it before and we actually have good techniques to actually counter it, especially in this country.📌 文中提及的人物和组织
