Bathhouses are about social interaction emphasis on the action.
But that s in a park, bar or theatre. In the 20 years since the bathhouse raids of 1981, the tubs have come to occupy a different part of the brain for the city, the police and the citizens of Toronto. But that right is not what it seems. It remains based more on the perceived power of Toronto s gay community and some lower court decisions than real entitlement. People were outraged.
