So I just watched “The Fruit Machine” The Fruit Machine on TVO.me — and now I’m just sitting here crying...Full on bawling my eyes out. It’s so horrible, how the Canadian government and military treated #LGBTQ folks. #TheFruitMachine #CanadianHistory #Gay #LoveIsLove

For anyone who is interested in learning more or watching the documentary. Have lots of Kleenex ready. “The Fruit Machine” The Fruit Machine #LGBTQ #gay #CanadianHistory tvo.org/video/document…

I just watched TVO Docs documentary called the fruit machine. I put off watching it for so long because I knew the story but hearing it from people who lived was heartbreaking. Canadians should take 57 minutes out of their day and listen to their story.

Between the 1950s & the 1990s, the Canadian gov't responded to national security concerns generated by the Cold War by spying on, exposing and removing suspected LGBTQ individuals from the federal public service & the Armed Forces.
