Ralph showed him
some pornographic pictures. Jimmy knew
he shouldn't be interested but well he was curious. What Jimmy didn't know
was that Ralph was sick. A sickness that
was not visible like small pox but no less dangerous
and contagious. A sickness of the mind. You see, Rob was a homosexual. A person who demands
an intimate relationship with members of their own sex. - So the National
Security campaign in Canada really picks up at that point
in time, the ostensible reason from the government's vantage
point is that we supposedly suffer from a character weakness
and therefore are a threat and risk to national security
and should not be in employment

Movie Summary

Some softened by age and sadness, others loud and angry, the voices of the survivors of Canada’s public service homosexual purge are now united, and determined. They are torqued by decades of silence, years of being ignored. They demand justice, and they want to be heard. Theirs is a story of betrayal that is both national and deeply personal. Men and women who dedicated their lives to public service, some signing oaths of allegiance and servitude; casualties of a political tapestry woven in the fibers of acute security measures that somehow became normalized.
