How Park Cruising Galvanized Queer Communities | The Agenda

Lawyer Marcus McCann, author of "Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path," talks to Jeyan Jeganathan about Canada's long history of park cruising and the "unbroken line" of police crackdowns that date back at least a hundred years. McCann explains the intersections of park cruising with the justice system, health epidemics, cultural norms, sexual consent, urban planning and why the subject continues to divide both heterosexual and queer communities. Is finding intimacy in parks still necessary given the prevalence of dating apps and queer bars?
