AS HIV/AIDS RAVAGED MONTREAL THE ’90S, GAY MEN WERE GETTG MURRED—AND TRYG TO FIGHT BACK

In s acclaimed first season, CBC vtigative te crime podst The Village dug ep to the disappearance of men om Toronto’s gay village and the serial killer—Bce McArthur—behd their murrs.

I started diggg to , and quickly beme clear to me that there was material not only to discs whether or not there was a serial killer Montreal the early ’90s, but also to discs other topics like the AIDS crisis, homophobia and police btaly Montreal. You remember kd of that stuff as a kid, but you don’t unrstand the subtext around and that there was homophobia attached to . It was tertg to me bee, yeah, I’m gay.

BCE MCARTHUR: GAY VILLAGE SERIAL KILLER GETS LIFE SENTENCE

The basis of the seri is still te crime as a way to expose a number of issu related to homophobia.

I thk what’s gog to be different this season is that we foc que a b on the impact of the AIDS crisis on the muny terms of fuellg hatred and homophobia.

We have an episo pletely dited to homophobia wh the Church and the impact of the Church and fuellg homophobia bee there were two murrs Montreal where the victims happen to be prits. It was really tertg bee, on one hand, you had ps who were openly homophobic agast the muny on the street, but on the other hand, you also had tectiv, which was, like, a pletely separate partment, and many of them were takg their job serly.

THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985

So they cid that the solutn, or one of the solutns, to their problems was to get public heargs om the Human Rights Commissn Quebec on discrimatn and vlence agast gays and lbians. I thk they were right retrospect, to ask for that, bee allowed them to publicly expose the problems that the muny was facg: the daily vlence, the daily homophobia and the social problems around all that.

Francis Plour: When Jt Lg worked on Season 1 of The Village (which foced on a seri of ld s reopened followg the arrt of serial killer Bce McArthur Toronto), he terviewed Michael Hendricks, a longtime activist who, the 1990s, had succsfully worked wh the Montreal police so they would improve the way they vtigate gay murrs.

What happened Montreal the early 1990s was tly a set of circumstanc (the peak of the AIDS crisis, a rise vlence agast gays and lbians, homophobic police btaly, etc. It might sound naive, but I don't thk I'd realized how profound the effect of the AIDS epimic was on the gay muny. For transcripts of this seri, please vis: many ways, we've evolved very posively as a muny sce the 1990s, and yet, there is still so much homophobia and transphobia our society, very much cludg stutns like the police.

When people ask about or Google the murrs of gay men Montreal the '90s, all leads to the podst "The Village: The Montreal Murrs. And wh onle rearch, only a handful of news stori talked about the murrs prr to the release of the CBC's 2022 podst hosted by gay French-Canadian journalist Francis Plour.
